Don't forget to leave a comment so you can be eligible to win the "Lil Love Devil" image from me!!!

I Love you this much!

Here's a darling new image from Fred, She Said called "I Love You This Much" and it is available in black and white for you to color yourself or pre-colored. I used the ivory pre-colored image for my card!

Fred, She Said is having a Blog Hop on the 28th, and wait until you see my card!! You won't want to miss it, I promise!!!

Santa, I can explain...

How many times have we heard that? Not by me, of course (big smile)! I created this too cute card using the Empty Pockets Shrugger Digi Set by Fred, She Said. My sentiment is computer generated.

Christmas Elf...

Here's a too too cute card I created using "Happy Little Gnome" by Meljen's Designs! He's got the cutest face EVER!!! If you buy, let them know I sent you!!

Red Santa...

Just a quick post tonight as I'm sicker than a dog! My sister, Robin, went home to Minnesota but I think she left uggiebuggies with me!! UGH!!

On to my card! Deedee's Digis has come out with an adorable Santa with sentiments called "Be Jolly"! As soon as I saw him, I had to color him up! I used the new Basic Gray Jovial paper stack for my designer paper! I love, love, love that stack!

Pumpkins and Sunflowers...

As soon as I saw this "Pumpkins & Sunflowers" image from Fred, She Said, I was in love! I just love Fall, pumpkins and sunflowers!! One thing great about images from Fred, She Said is how you can get the digital image colored or black and white. I chose the colored image to play with this time!

Teddy Stampers Challenge

Today, Deedee's Digis is  sponsoring the Teddy Stampers Challenge, and you must use a teddy bear image. The challenge theme is "Back to School" and Deedee has two fabulous images you can use: "School or Bust" and "School Rules".

I created these darling tissue pack holders using the teddy bear from "School Rules" and the Owl from "Teacher's Pet". These are great gifts to give to teachers, secret pals or to stick into Christmas stockings. 

Supplies needed:  Scor-Pal, Decorative Border Punch, Scissors, Adhesive and patterned paper from a 4.5 x 6.5 matstack. Follow Diagram below!

These are quick and easy gifts to make, and you can use decorative tissue packs, or purchase the plain packs. With all the paper matstacks on the market, you can make one for everyone you know! A great, yet inexpensive gift!

Smiley Snowman...

I made this cute ensemble for Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Day on Thursday! I used the new digi stamp "Smiley Snowman" and it's also great that you can purchase him in a clear stamp set as well. If you aren't into digital stamps, then you can ink him up and create just the same!

Holiday Sunday - Sweetest Treat

Oh my goodness, Deedee came out with a few new digis today and I immediately had to whip out this cute Halloween card using the "Sweetest Treat" digi set! The sentiment is included in the set along with a few others. You must hop over to Deedee's Digis and see the adorable images that she has drawn this week.

Golden Emma...

Here's a sweet card using "Winter Emma & the Chickadee" from Fred, She Said. I just love this new color combination of red, black and cream. I purchased "Magic of the Season", a Christmas paper stack from Hobby Lobby with those colors!

Our Creative Corner Snowman...

It's time for Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge, and I used the darling new Snowman from the "Let it Snow" digistamp set by Deedee's Digis. Can you believe he's only $1.00??? You must hop over to Deedee's and see what other fabulous digis she has this week!

Belli Challenge ...

Today is the Belli Challenge and our challenge was to make a round card and put something metal on it! It is always fun to go outside your box and create a card that's different from the norm. My image "A Gift for Snowman" is from Sweet 'n Sassy and I created a spring card to showcase the darling snowman! Oh my gosh, he's just too cute! Rose and Sage Green are my new favorite colors, I think!

Also, I'm excited to say that my sister, Robin, has joined the Belli Challenge Design Team and it's going to be so much fun working beside her! Make sure you hop over to her blog and give her lots of love and encouragement!

Holiday Sunday - Winter Cupcake

My card for Holiday Sunday features a new digital stamp from Fred, She Said! It's a darling cupcake and she has one with a flower on it and a plain one (which I used) that you can decorate! I added a wintry snowflake to the top of mine, glittered the "icing" and used a perfectly matched winter designer paper from Bo Bunny!

This card qualifies for the Crazy 4 Challenges Cupcake Challenge!

Many Thanks...

Happy Saturday!! I've created a cute card using the sweetest bear by Deedee's Digi's  from the "Little Things" digistamp set and I just love her! Her little butterfly perched so prettily is the basis for my card. I used a Martha Stewart butterfly punch for the circle that frames the bear! My sentiment is from the "Fluttering By" digistamp set, also by Deedee's Digis.

 My card uses the Peony in a Jar digi and I colored with Copic Markers, then added Glossy Accents to the jar for a "glass" effect! My designer paper is from the "Rock Star" paper pad by Die Cuts with a View. My sketch is from Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge!

Pumpkins & a Ghost...

Well, I think I got food poisoning yesterday, I have been soooo icky! This card is for Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge, and luckily I finished it earlier this week! So this will be a short post as I'm headed to bed in a few minutes!! I used two of the new EK Success Halloween punches on this card!

Get Well Soon, Sandy...

This card was made for my dear friend, Sandy, who is in the hospital right now. I'm praying and wishing for her to get well very soon!! I used the "Basket of Love " digistamp set from Deedee's Digis. My cute papers are from the Paper Studio stack called "Sweet Pea". Today is the Happy Monday Challenge on Deedee's challenge blog, so why don't you go over and play with the theme!

Well, it's my turn to play with the "Best Fishes" digi set from Deedee's Digis I just love the flowing fins and the cute stripes! The expression on this little beauty's face is just wonderful! Make sure you grab this digi as soon as you can as there are so many ways to use it. Make sure you look through all of Deedee's images for your paper crafting.

I made my card into a fishbowl design and I colored the Angelfish with Copic markers, then added some swirly glittery "grass" and a pretty pink bow to finish it off! I used the sketch from Our Creative Corner and you should stop over and play with us!!

a Pretty Peony...

It's the Belli Challenge today, and we had a fun sketch to follow! Our theme was to put on something that MOVES, and of course, I chose butterflies!! My gorgeous flower is a new digistamp release by Fred, She Said called the "Corner Peony". Fred has added quite a few new digis to the store, so make sure you see them all!!
