~Merry Little Knome



Challenges are just that right- a challenge!  Our newest challenge over at Di's Digi's is Anything But A Card for Winter Holidays!  So I went with a gift tag I made for Christmas.
 
 

 I used this adorable image called Merry Little Knome and he can be found right here along with all of the other fab releases from Di!  I'll write on the back but thought it would work perfectly for a Christmas tag!

 I sure hope you'll have a chance to  join us for some crafty fun!  You may be the ucky prize winner as well!  
 
Happy Crafting!

~Guest Designer Spot at Hearts Quest Celebrations of Love


I am so very excited to have you here with me today!  I am the lucky guest designer over at the Heart's Quest Celebrations of Love Challenge Blog for November!  It's such a fun challenge blog and I love to play along so I was delighted to be a guest designer this month.  
 
Each month you can enter using the theme of Birthdays, Engagements, Weddings, Anniversaries and/or Sympathies and then each month also has a theme for a current or upcoming season/event.  So for November the optional theme is Christmas. I chose to make a Christmas Birthday card!
 
 

 I have had this digi forever from Digi Doodle Studios and my gosh I am not sure why I haven't colored it up beforehand!  It's called Elf Gift Surprise.  They are such fun digis, I am going to have to use them more often!
 
I sure hope you will join in the fun using any of the fab themes available and maybe combine it with the optional one fore November as well!
 
Hope you have a crafty week!

~Mid Challenge Reminder with Di's Digis

Hi everyone!  Thanks for taking the tine to pop over and see my card!  I was away so a bit late getting my post up but my card was on time for our new challenge over at Di's Digis.  I guess it is  more like a mid challenge reminder now, but that works too!   
 
I have used this gorgeous Fairy image and while I don't see this exact one in Di's Etsy store, there are lots of gorgeous fairy images to pick from along with a ton of super fun images for all occasions!  Our challenge is Ribbons and/or Bows and I have made a paper ribbon and bow for my card!
 


 and I tired to take a photo to show the gorgeous shimmer as well.  It's so pretty in real life!
 
 
I sure hope you will join us- there is still just under a week left, so hopefully that's lots of time to play along!  We'd love to see your creations featuring ribbons and/or bows.  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.

~SSW2 Mid Challenge Reminder

 I can't believe we are at that time of the month for a mid challenge reminder.  My goodness time flies!  Our fab sketches for September are wonderful and there are 3 you can choose from, so I hope you pick 1 and join us!  Heck, pick all 3, that would be fun and we would love to see what you make!
 
Here is my card using sketch #311
 


I have used the adorable image called Jam Jars from All Dressed Up.   I did spray it with some shimmer spray and it looks so pretty in real life but was hard to capture in the photo.  I also used my Minc machine to foil the Taylored Expressions birthday sentiment and there is a greeting on the inside as well but I forgot to grab a photo of that.
 
Like I said- there are 3 different options for sketches this month- 2 for September as well as the throwback sketch so please join us!
 
Happy Crafting friends!

~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,
