Imagine That Digistamp February Link-up


This month I have chosen "Hello Kitties" from, of course, Imagine That Digistamp.  I love any cat/kitten images, they get me in every time.  I decided to leave this card blank for any occasion.  I think just the "Hello" says enough on the front and then you can write whatever you wish inside.  Maybe a thank you note, or just a note to let a friend know how you value their friendship.  I have fussy cut a second image and cut out the flowers and mounted them with foam tape, so they pop.  Hope you like my creation.  See you next month.

From the Heart Stamps February Free Stamp of the Month Challenge


It was so good to hear that Faith from From the Heart Stamps was back with the Free Stamp of the Month Challenge.  I wish her all the best as her health improves day by day, but don't overdo it Faith - your followers will understand if you miss a month - your health comes first.  This month we were given "Hogs and Kisses" a great digi for Valentine's Day.

Aussie Digital Artists Open Challenge #01


For my third entry in the above challenge, I have chosen yet another Aussie artist's digi - Naz again from Sasayaki Glitter.  I am getting in early this year with creating Christmas cards.  I just love this image but didn't get around to using it last Christmas.  It is called "Shy Christmas Present".  Shy is featured in more of Naz's images.  He is so cute and shy too!

Aussie Digital Artists Open Challenge #01


This is my second entry for the above challenge.  This time I have used a Sasayaki Glitter image "Turtle and Duck". I decided to make a get well card with this digi and my colouring of Turtle certainly did make him look sick, but Duck is there to help him. 

Aussie Digital Artists Open Challenge #01


This is one of my entries for the above challenge.  I have used "Cheeky Chipmunk" from My Stitch Back in Twine. I just love this little chipmunk and hope you like my birthday card I created with him.

Scrapper's Delights showcased at Passionate Paper Creations & Friends (Facebook) 20-24 February 2017

This week we are showcasing Scrapper's Delights on Passionate Paper Creations & Friends Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/PassionatePaperCreationsandFriends/
We have three new giraffe images to introduce to you to add to the other three already in the store, as well as the clip art for those images.  For my inspiration card I have coloured with copics and of course, gone into my stash.  Remember those felt flower strips, I found an idea for them finally!  I am sure Janice is going to put these in the shop http://scrappersdelights.com/store/ at a discounted price, so grab them before they increase in price.  I know I am going to purchase them all too, so I can have a .......... sorry, just had to Google what a group of giraffes is called.  You learn something every day - A group of giraffes standing still is called a tower but a group of giraffes in motion is called a jenny. Well I never, didn't know that.  Get that tower of giraffes straightaway, I notice the other three that were released a couple of weeks ago, are still at a great price!

I am going to enter the following challenges:

Scrapper's Delights Thursday Inspiration 16th February 2017


This week for my inspiration I have used the image Gus Dragon and Dinosaur 1 image
What a cute image this is!  As soon as I saw it I thought it would be great to use for baby cards and also for Easter.  Who says we have to have a bunny or a chicken on Easter cards, let's work with Gus, he is so cute!.  Don't ask me why I picked blue for the baby card, no reason, just a baby card for my stash. Actually I enjoyed making this one so much, I might do a similar one in pink soon. 





The materials I used for this card were, of course, out of my stash - white card blank, Core'dinations Colorcore cardstock for the Crafts Too Butterfly embossing folder, which was lightly sanded after embossing.  My colouring was done with Copics, the sentiments were SU and the cute wood veneers came from Studio Calico.  It is fun shopping in my stash, but sometimes the items I know I have, are a little hard to find.  I guess some of you can relate to that.  Don't forget to check out https://www.facebook.com/groups/376140345820051/ and if you haven't joined yet put in a request.  We have lots of fun, with freebies, challenges and you get to see all the new releases as well as being on the spot for some great bargains at sale times.  Take a look at the Scrapper's Delights store  http://scrappersdelights.com/store/ and check out the Thrifty $$$ Deals section - there is some great digis there at the moment at half the normal price.  See you next time - Happy Crafting!

I will be entering the following challenges with this card:

Scrapper's Delights K&C Event 3-4 February 2017



Don't you just love these images Janice from Scrapper's Delights has brought out the the K&C Event.  They are gorgeous images for Valentine's Day or any celebration and they are a real bargain at the moment. Pop over to the store http://scrappersdelights.com/store/ and take a look at them.  You will find them here in the new products section http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6  I have coloured Be Mine Fox in Sharpies this time, because I went on a retreat on the weekend when these were released and didn't take my collection of Copics because I wanted to concentrate on scrapbook pages, something I haven't done for a while since becoming engrossed in digital stamps.  I hope you like the new release collection and will get over to the store, while the digital stamps in this range are on special.  You will also see in the new products section that Janice also has some clip art in the same characters if you prefer a coloured version to work with.
