PRETTY FLOWER GIRL AND MIA FRAMED / DB #26...

Good morning - it's finally Friday ~ YAY! I have pink eye (again!) so the morning is slipping by since I spent a good part of it at the doctor's office.

We start a new challenge today over at the Dilly Beans blog - friendship. This card is all digital - the image is a combination of 2 DIlly Beans, Mia Framed and Pretty Flower Girl. I loved the really subdued colors of these digital papers. I also.added rhinestones to the roses. When I set this up for printing, I used a light grey box to outline where I would trim the paper and lined the sentiment (WFCo. - Friendship Phrases) up. Then I placed the main image outside of that box, so that I could cut it out and pop it up. I sparingly used some Copics to add some depth.

I used Gennifer Bursett's new digi paper, When Skies are Grey. Her kits can be found at Design House Digital. Here is my tutorial for digital paper piecing.

Thanks for stopping by~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERRY / DHD New Release Day...

Love this new collab, Birthday Bash from Karen Giron and Sara Schmutz!!! These are new today over at Design House Digital, along with this cool template I used by Audrey Neal, Banners Galore. 


We celebrated Jeff's dad's birthday last weekend, and while I forgot my camera (yeah, I know...DUH!) I did manage to take some pics with my phone!

 

Thanks so much for visiting!

PENNY / DHD New Release Day...

I think anyone that truly knows me, knows that I can be a very sentimental sap! When I read Gennifer Bursett mention The 23rd of May being National Lucky Penny Day, I decided to do a layout about pennies. So that one day, when they finally do stop making them, like they threaten to ever so often, my kids and their kids will know what they were - LOL!

It's new release day over at Design House Digital, which means 30% off all new kits! I used Audrey Neal's Iconic Papers and Elements, and Robyn Meierotto's Cut It Out Masks set.

 

Thanks so much for visiting!

EI~EI~O / DS #53...

Good morning! It's time for a new sketch over at the Deconstructed Sketch! Super fun! As you can see, I shrank it a little bit - LOL! I have a thing for square cards these days, not sure why! I used ei-ei-o from the Alley Way Stamps - I love this little chicken!!! I thought a plaid, paper pieced chicken would be cool.

Have an awesome day & be sure to go check out the DS DT's cards!!!

BEE~CAUSE / DD #3 & RS #12...

I had some scraps left over from my 'bee' card on Saturday, so I decided to use some up! I just LOVE these happy colors and wanted to use them again for the current Dynamic Duos. And I just HAD to use the RetroSketch again - when I first made a card with this layout I 'kinda' liked it, but I have started to really LOVE it! The image is from the Alley Way Stamps, from the set ei-ei-o. It is SO ADORABLE!!! I just love bumblebees! I am dying to ink up that chicken, too!

Have an awesome day!


ps ~ The embossing folder is Hexagon Illusion, which I found and ordered from The Craft Barn. (Donna, your email wasn't available for me to reply to your comment.)
