It Must Be Sketch Wednesday at TDS!

Check out this cool sketch! I love having these weekly sketches to try each week. They are great for when your mind is on overload and you need a quick card! And nothing could be quicker then using a digital image,some markers, and embellishments! For my card this week I've used one of the newer images that are offered over at The Digi Shack.. Isn't she the sweetest?!



For my take on the sketch, I have turned it on its' side and added Prima flowers where the triangular shapes are on the sketch. I used some old papers that I have in my "stash", Copics to color, glitter pens for the purple flowers and the one in the image's hair. A few brads, punches and the use of my Cricut for the oval shape are what helped me to finish this card. So... check on over at The Digi Shack, and try out this sketch. Don't forget to link up Mr. Linky to your creation! Good Luck everyone!

Doodle Pantry is Open for Business!

Just a quick note to let you all know that there is a new digital images store in town! Laurie Wilson of Clearly Delightful has opened up a new site so everyone will be able to purchase her wonderful images! Here is a card that I did with the "lilies of the valley" image which is found in her set of flowers images. Oh, I forgot to tell you the name of the site...I am proud to introduce you to Doodle Pantry ! Click on the name of the site and get magically taken to the store where you will "ooh, and ahh"! So many darling images!!! Have a great weekend everyone!

P.S. I set this to automatic post as I am enjoying myself in wonderful Las Vegas! Talk to you all when I return home! (Hopefully a little richer...lol!)

3D Challenge at TDS

Hi everyone! Isn't this the cutest little basket? I "cased" it from my friend Georgia over at Gram's Place. It is made out of an empty "Peeps" box. Add handle with a couple of brads to hold it,add a cute digi image from TDS like this sweet bunny, fill and go! I've done mine as an Easter basket, but you could really fill it with anything! Some tea bags, different coffee packages, chocolates, stamps, ink pads, baby booties, etc., etc., etc.! This would be darling for a baby shower or for any type of special occasion where you need quick favors! I used a "peeps" container, but I am sure you could find lots of interesting little boxes, etc., that you can have the joy of emptying first , then reusing! Think Green! Check out The Digi Shack and all of my fellow Design Team members to see what they have to challenge you with!

Sketch Wednesday at TDS

Another Wednesday and Toni has decided to do another sketch. I love sketches! It makes it so much easier to put together a card or layout, don't you think? Here's the sketch for this week: (Look to the left please...!)
My card was done with the pretty Violin image that can be found in The Digi Shack store for just a buck! Think about that...for $1.00 you can upload the image, keep it on your computer(no piles of stamps in your craft room) and print it off in ANY SIZE that your little ol' heart's desire! Sounds perfect to me! Check out my card:

Then go check out all the other DT's cards... I know you're gonna love 'em!

P.S. Don't forget to link your creation over at The Digi Shack for a chance to win a free image! Good Luck!
P.P.S. I hope I'm having "good luck" right now as I am in lovely Las Vegas! Or as my hubby calls it..."Lost Wages" ! LOL!

Clearly Delightful Blog Challenge 4

Happy April 5th and happy challenge #4 from Clearly Delightful Blog Challenge! This month finds us using any of Laurie's cute images but with a twist:

1.) You are to use yellow on your project
2.) You are to have dry embossing on your project

This was an easy one for me! I used my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder to do both the yellow and red background papers. And I sure used yellow! My cute image is one of the favs of mine from Laurie's shop...how can you resist those cute little birds?! And Laurie has just opened her own online store to purchase all these great images! Doodle Pantry is sure to be a success!
This challenge runs for two weeks (last day to enter is April 19th) so why not give it a try? There is a prize to be won and Laurie will also give you an image of your choice just for submitting your creation! It's a "win win" situation!

Happy Easter to All!

Just a quick post to wish everyone a blessed Easter! My dog sure had fun finding the eggs this morning! (Before my sons got up...) Too funny! Boy was she ever guilty when I came into the living room and spotted her with this egg!

TDS Digi Day at SNR is Tomorrow!

What a cryptic title this is! LOL! Just wanted to remind everyone that tomorrow night at SNR Card Universe, The Digi Shack is hosting a "digi day". These are so much fun so I hope you all will be able to join in. The action starts at 7 P.M. (CST). There will be challenges, lots of chatter, tips, and prizes. Possibly even a free image! So if you don't have a 101 things to do on the Eve of Easter, join in the fun! (Even if you are coloring eggs, filling baskets, making desserts, etc. you can join the fun and check and see what is happening!) Boy would my old English teacher be proud of me for that "run on" sentence! LOL! So...please don't make me continue to use incorrect grammar; and check out the fun!
Hugs!
P.S. I will be unable to attend as I will be out of town without a computer...(I don't know if I will be able to handle it...my hands are already starting to perspire and shake.......
P.P.S. I just might have my hands on a computer tomorrow night so hopefully I will see you all at the fun!
