Flowers for Mom-TDS03

Hello! This is a card I made for The Digi Shack Thursday challenge. This week's challenge is a sketch. I love the clean lines of this sketch. The image I used is a newer one from TDS. Isn't it pretty? I colored it with copics and prisma pencils. The colors are ridinghood red and chocolate chip. I love the look of these rich colors against the white base. I added some bling in the corners and the sentiment is from PTI's Mixed Messages set (a must have sentiment set, IMO!).

Let me see what you do with this sketch. Make sure you use the keyword TDSC03 in your keyword section when uploading to online galleries! Check the other DT members blogs in my side bar for their take on the sketch!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Baby

I made this for the CAS12 challenge on SCS. We were to use tiny bits of ribbon on our card. I love to create tabs with left over ribbon. I am a "saver", so I don't get rid of anything. I also like to make ribbon corners with tiny scraps of ribbon. I think it adds alot to a card. It's quick and easy, and doesn't use a lot of ribbon.
My card base is white and then the pink pirouette panel is CB'd with swiss dots. My image is from Hero Arts. I used prisma pencils to color it in. My sentiment is from PTI's Mixed Messages set. I used the word window punch to punch it out. I distressed the edges and added some faux stitching to the so saffron mat.

My sister is due any day now, so this card will go to her when baby Sara is born!

Have a Marvelous Monday!

Butterflies, Birds and a HHH!

Hi everyone! Happy Hip Hop Hangover! I made the card above for the Unity Color the Earth challenge. We were to use green, blue and any neutrals or shades of brown. All of the stamps are from April's KOTM. I really love how the swirly branch stamp goes with the bird on a branch!

This card was for three challenges! YIKES! The first was the Unity Anytime birthday card challenge. We could not use an obvious birthday image or sentiment. For SCS's What to use challenge we were to use all white paper and white embellishments! And last but not least, I submitted this for The Flutterby Challenge.

All stamps are from Unity's April KOTM! I am sooooo loving my KOTM's! So versatile and a TON of stamps for the price!

On Sunday I will have some more FREE digi downloads for you from The Digi Shack! Scroll down a couple of posts for the first set of free images!

Thanks for stopping by!

Honey Bear

Hello! I made this card with an image given to me by Nancy! This image is from High Hopes! Thanks so much Nancy!
I made this card for Ashley's Etsy inspired 32 challenge found HERE. I was inspired by this necklace HERE.
I colored the image with copics and prisma pencils. I sponged the sky with soft sky and baja breeze ink. The DP is SU's DSP and I matted the image with black. I added crystal effects to the wings and the honey on top of the jar, but my lighting stinks since it has been so rainy and overcast this week!
Thanks for looking! I will be back tomorrow with some Unity for Hip Hop Hangover!

Yo-ho-ho!

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum! I made this card today for the sketch challenge over on SCS. You can find the sketch HERE. I love the blocked panels in this sketch. I used DP from K&Co.'s Daydream collection. I cut out the part of the paper with the waves, since it went perfectly with my little pirate mouse image. This is another image given to me from Michelle (MishB). The mouse pirate image is from Art Gone Wild and the sentiment is from 3rd Coast. I colored the image with prisma pencils and blended with OMS. I sponged the edges of the image and sentiment banner with brown ink. I added some antique pewter brads to the corners of the image and some hemp twine at the top.
Remember to scroll down one post if you want some free digi images from The Digi Shack! They will only be available until the end of the month!

Sweet Treats-FREE Digi Downloads!

edited: The free digi link has been deleted. The images were only available in the month of April.

Hello! I have a super sweet treat for you guys! The Digi Shack DT gals, have a FREE digi download for you! This will only be available until the end of the month! Click HERE for your free download! You will get the image and sentiment above, along with another sweet treat! Go check it out!

I also made this for Ashley's Etsy inspired challenge #31 found here. I was inspired by the soft pink and green colors in these soap dishes. I thought the colors would be perfect for this ice cream cone! I colored my image with prisma pencils and blended with OMS. I added stickles to the ice cream. YUM!

This is a great little treat box that is really simple to make. You will need a 4.25" x 11" piece of sturdy cardstock for your base. On the 11" side score at 5" and 6". I puched a tab in the top, and tied it closed with ribbon. You can add candy in a bag, bath salts, individual packets of soup or instant coffee. I use these as hostess gifts at workshops!

I will have another set of FREE images for you this week, too! Check back, for more FREE images from The Digi Shack! :)

Lady Luck

Today's CAS challenge was to draw inspiration from kids bedding at JC Penny's. I chose this lady bug bedding. ADORABLE! I used a large oval punch for the body of my lady bug. I cut the red oval in half and drew in black dots and the antenae. I used a 3/4 circle punch for her hed. The sentiment is from Unity's March KOTM.

Did you know that lady bug's are a symbol of good luck? Yep...they are! There is your trivia fact for the day!

Thanks for stopping by! Stop by tomorrow! I will have a free download from The Digi Shack for you! It is super SWEET!

Rest, Relaxation, Retire!

I made this card for the featured stamper challenge over at SCS. This fun image is from my SCS bud, Michelle (aka Mishb). She sent me a bunch of pirate images after my son fell in love with one of her pirate cards! Thanks Michelle! I thought this image was perfect for a retirement card! The image is from 100 Proof Press and the sentiment is PTI's Mixed Messages. I colored the image with Prisma Pencils. The paper is all from my scrap pile!

I will have another card tomorrow for the CAS challenge!
