~Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 September SketchesSSW

 Hi there -I'm glad you are here with me today:-)
 
It is the beginning of a new month so that means we have 2 great new sketches for you and one throwback sketch as well over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2!  Kathie makes such fabulous sketches and they are always my favourite challenge so I hope you'll have a chance to play along with us!
 
I have a card for you featuring sketch #310
 

 
I needed an anniversary card and their original colors were pink and grey, so I thought this one worked well!  The groom did actually where  a white tux!
 
I hope you will have a chance to check out the challenge blog to see all the great sketches for this month.  I will be back again with a mid month reminder where I will share with you my card for sketch #311. 
 
Happy Crafting!

~Di's Digi's- Show Some Sparkle

Hi there!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  It's a holiday here in Canada so I am playing catch up!
 
  Our newest challenge over at Di's Digis is Show Us Your Sparkle.  I have use this adorable pre-coloured image called Racoon Rose.  I paired it with some glittery pink papers although this picture doesn't show it as nice and sparkly as it is in real life.  I also used a glitter pen on the flowers in her hair and hand but again, it doesn't show up as pretty as it is.
 
 
 
I did take a new picture in better light but I am not sure it's any better:-)
 

 I sure hope you will have time to join is this time around.  Please remember a maximum of 3 entries per person and creations must be NEW.  Otherwise, as long as you follow our theme of SHOW SOME SPARKLE - there are no product or image restrictions.  Remember, that if you do use an image from Di's Digi Stamps Etsy shop or any CandiBean stamp, you have a chance to win 2 images from Di's Digi Stamps Etsy shop in addition to the random winner prize. 
 
 
Hugs,

~Snail Tee with Di's Digis

 Well hello there and welcome back to Crafting Creatively!  I'm glad you took the time to pop over today!  I have a new card for you for our Die Cuts and/or Punches challenge over at Di's Digis!
 
  
I have used this super cute image called Snail Tee and it's available coloured as I have used here or black and white for you to colour up how you like.  I had this paper out and thought it fit perfectly so was able to print if off quickly and make my card.  I have used cloud dies, the sentiment is die cut and both square pieces are part of a die set as well.  
 
I hope you will have a chance to not only check out the other fabulous DT creations but to enter in our challenge with us this time around.  Remember, that if you do use an image from Di's Digi Stamps Etsy shop or any CandiBean stamp, you have a chance to win 2 images from Di's Digi Stamps Etsy shop in addition to the random winner prize.
 
Hope to see your card!

~Jingle All The Way

 Hi everyone and thanks for taking the time to pop in and check my card out!  I have made this one for our latest Di's Digi challenge- Use Your Stash.
 
 
As far as stash items go- I have had the image called Carol Crew printed since last year and the same with the foil sentiment- it was the only one left on the sheet that I did so thought I would use it up.  These papers are so old too but worked well with my image.  
 
I hope that you will be able to join us for our challenge, it's open for 2 weeks, so there's lots of time left.  Be sure to check out the challenge blog to see the rest of the fab creations made by my teammates.
