A SNOW COUPLE ANNIVERSARY!

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to share the cute little Anniversary Card for my Hubby, kind of like the couple on the cocoa packet I showed you yesterday 

The cute little snow couple is a Digi Stamp that I got from Cindy's Scraptastic Designs  I think it's a perfect match for the couple on the cocoa, so I was super excited when I found it!!! I used copics to color it (still need lots of practice) then, as you can see I went a little over board on the bling, I kept thinking it needed more & then I ran out of time & didn't really make the base of the card as well as I had like to. That's ok though, because I still think it's cute & I know hubby will like it (we are celebrating this weekend)!!! So, all the bling consisted of lots of Stickles, Black Enamel Accents & Aleene's Glitter Snow. The sentiment is from Whimsical Designs.

As always Gilby & I love your comments...his tail just wags away when he sees me smile!!!

IT'S HIPPIE DIGI TIME...LOL!!!

Hi Everyone & Happy Labor Day!

Sorry about the title, I know it's a little corny, but that's me!

A friend of mine wanted me to make her a card for her Anniversary that she could give to her husband. The first thing that came to mind was making a card with them as hippies!!! They would have totally been hippies if they were older back then for sure!!!

I got to searching for hippie digi stamps & I really couldn't find any that really suited them, until I ran across Jen's Digi Stamps . She had a girl hippie that was perfect, but she didn't have a guy. I e-mailed her to see if she could make one AND I was shocked & thrilled when she said "yeah, no problem"!!! I mean that is some customer service!!! I was sooo pleased with the guy that she drew, he was perfecto, as you can see below, they look soo cute together!!!

If you are into Digi Stamps, I would highly recommend going to her site Jen's Digi Stamps , she has some of the cutest images I have seen & her DT is just FABULOUS!!!
In fact, I will have some more wonderful news to share later on, so stay tuned, same dog blog, same...(told you I was corny)!!!

My friend totally loved the card & didn't even notice some of the mistakes I had made. I know crafting doesn't have to be perfect, but I always put pressure on myself to make whatever I am making as perfect as it can be. Maybe now, knowing that she didn't see the mistakes, maybe I will put less pressure on myself & just enjoy crafting!!!

Recipe:
Jen's Digi Stamps-"Jenny" & "Larry"
Our Craft Lounge (OCL) - "Flower Power" They have AWESOME clear & rubber stamps along with lots of other great products!!!
I colored them with both Copics & Prisma Coloring Pencils
I used the Large Circle Nestability to cut them out
I embossed both the sentiment & flower
Cardstock is DCWV Textured & AC Brights
The Peace sign strip is from Reminisce "Unwritten"
I also used Crushed Velvet Flock (Black) around the circle

MY FIRST IMAGINE CARD & CREATIVE CRITTERZ IMAGINATIONS DT CALL!!!

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to share my very first Imagine card! I've had the Imagine for about a month now & have been playing with with it, but this is my first project. I got it from HSN as a bundle, so I have 5 carts & they are all sooo cute!!! I'm looking forward to creating so much more with my new toy!!!

I've seen the Pear card done before, but in different ways, so I thought it would be a great idea as an Anniversary card for my parents.

No challenges today, but I am entering this for the Creative Critterz Imaginations Design Team call. They have such great ideas over there, I subscribed a while back when I was first thinking about getting the Imagine.

I used the ICON feature for the pears, so I could use those cute little PKS faces. 

I used the layers function as well, so I could cut out multiple shapes.

As you can see, I also used lots of distressing ink for a rustic look.

Tip Top Tuesday ~2 Stamps-Tip...When using your ATG gun, try standing up, it seems to glide better for me AND this one is crucial, so you don't go wasting so much paper. Only use your ATG for the outer edges of your paper, if you use it in the center, when you go to stick it down and you don't have it adjusted so well,...it's ruined. Can't tell you how many times I've wasted paper by doing this!!! ugghhh
