~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.

~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.

~Things with Wings/Tails with Di's Digi Challenge

 Hello and welcome back!  It's been a bit since I've been on here and it really has been a busy couple of months.  My daughter graduated from dental hygiene and we moved her home across the country!  We took the trip home through the US and it was uneventful but a great trip home!35+ hours of driving- 3 provinces and four states:-)

 

I am back now though with a new card for our latest Di's Digis challenge today.  Things with Wings/Tails is what our challenge is this time around and I have used this adorable Bunny Kisses and Springtime Wishes image for my card this week.

It kind of looks like its coloured with pencils but its not, I coloured it up with Copics!  Love these springtime colours snd I am sure hoping Spring show sup here soon!  We are about to start calving and we have soooooo much snow still!

 

Becasue we are so close to Easter, Di has a great sale on right now to celebreate!

~Make it Sparkle- Kitty Teacup

 Hello everyone!  Gosh, my blog took a back seat there for a bit and after an eventful (not in a good way) December, I hope to have life back in order somewhat to keep up with things now.

 

I am delighted to share with you this adorable new image from Di's Digi Stamps so our new challenge today.  This time around we are asking you to show us your Make it Sparkle (glitter, stickles, bling).  I have used this super cute colored image called Kitty Teacup.  I am having a flare up of uveitis (inflammation in my eye) so it makes coloring really hard with one blurry eye-hence the colored version:-)  I used some silver shimmer trim from CTMH as well as Nuvo Glimmer paste in silver with this fun Krafty Kaleidoscope Stencil from Kraftin Kimmie. Topped it off with two glitter dots from Michaels.

 

 

I sure hope you will play along with us this time around.  Also, be sure to check out Di's store as she has some adorable new images and a great January sale going on right now!

 

Just a few reminders about out challenge:
