Good Morning all! Today we have a couple of things going on. First I am excited to announce my first digi stamp called Caroline! I have been working on creating my very own digi collection and have been working on it for quite some while. This has been a dream of mine to do and I am delighted to now share that dream with you. She will be available online this friday at my online store. She will come as a jpeg and png. Stay tuned for a sneak peek of another digi stamp release this week.

We also have a very special edition challenge this week over at V’s Sweet Challenge blog! This week we are celebrating my birthday which is on July 20th. Our DT Members have created some amazing celebration cards for your inspiration. We hope you can join us this week and get a chance to win a $10 Gift certificate to our online store! The challenge will run from Monday, July 16th till Sunday July 22nd at 11pm.

I’m so excited about Lawn Fawn’s new stamp release! Since Deconstructed Jen has a new sketch challenge I decided to try out lawn fawn’s Dad’s day stamp. This stamp is just tooo cute. I used Stampin Up’s olive cardstock as my base and embossed Kraft paper with cuttlebugs pebbles folder. I used my nestabilities to cut out the frame and also cut out the chair. I then stamped Lawn’s fawn sentiment included in the set, on satin ribbon. I also used Cappuccino bakers twine to embellish the cardthe card

Digi darla Challenge

Good evening everyone! It’s time for another awesome digi darla challenge! This week digi darla is sponsored by bugaboo stamps ( another fav digi store). This weeks challenge is called ” Let’s Celebrate” and what better way to celebrate any occasion than with “crab boat” from bugaboo stamps. So for this card I used a few techniques I learned from different blogs I follow. I printed the digi on two different patten papers to use the sails and then used an embossing pen to give it a 3D effect. Then I used the cloud mask template I downloaded from Bev Rochester to make the clouds in the background. I colored in the digi stamp with my Copic markers and cut out the waves by hand. I wrapped some twine and distressed the sentiment piece. I rolled up the “ahoy” piece to make it look like a rolled parchment. 20120529-234509.jpg

Another week, another amazing sketch by Deconstructed Jen. Her sketches really get the creative juices going. She has a couple of shapes going on here and I really wanted to show off the new ribbon I have on sale and I also really wanted to use tiddlyinks new digi. I colored the ballerina with Copic markers and blended in chalk ink around it. I used a combo of SU paper and digi paper. The ribbon I used is May Arts red v striped twill.
