PIP Challenge 2408

Get ready to head over to the current
We are going to miss this amazing sponsor


This will be their last sponsorship because
they want to enjoy some retirement time.
But PIP Challenges was blessed to have 
their sponsorship for the past few years!
They are offering the random challenge
winner a $6 prize!
Here's my card using a wonderful
Jan's Digi image.
I love this butterfly frame image. I cut it
out twice so I could add dimension to 
one of the butterflies. I colored it with 
Copic markers and added clear sparkle
pen to the butterflies for a touch of bling.
It's a very pretty card and that's because 
of the stunning image. I just matched
my coloring to coordinate the background
papers. Very simple and a wonderful finish.

Thanks for stopping by! 
A big thank you to our amazing sponsor,

Here's my card for this week!

This is such a gorgeous image I was afraid
I couldn't do it justice but I am happy with
how it turned out. I used Copics to color it, adding
some sparkle pen to the flower centers and 
a bit of crystal lacquer to the heart. 

I put some random dots around the
image to take up some of the bare white.
I used this card for some friend's anniversary.
That's about it after the sentiment and layers.

Here's my card,
JDS has an abundance of amazing digital art
and I can always find something I love to play
with! In this case, COFFEE!! Admittedly I am
addicted to McD's French vanilla iced coffee.
I printed the image and sentiment and some
digital background paper (from another company)
to create this easy card. I colored it with Copic
markers and cut the images out so I could 
raise them up with mounting tape. I added
a bit of sparkle pen to the little heart and a 
few dot elements. That was it. I think I am being
very lazy with my stamping because of being on
the beach for the past couple of months. The
winter weather in Florida has been exceptional.

Here's my card,
So, I decided to make this fun digi into a
shaker card. Well, as I began to start I realized
that I had no idea how to make one...it's been
too long. Soooooooo, I had lots of screw ups. 
Apparently I found using a digi for this type 
of card isn't as easy as an actual stamp...BUT,
I think it turned out ok. I colored my snow
family with Copics, adding a touch of Sparkle
pen to the globe base. I put some sequins
in the shaker and that was about it. I did have
some shaker cups handy, which helped. 

I will be entering this card in the following

Here's my card.
That Jan, at Jan's Digital Stamps, has some really
fun images to work with...or play with! lol! Such
a talent she has. This image, Crafty Friends, looks
like me and my talented friends when we get 
creating, except for the wine. Well, actually, I found 
some really good non-alcoholic wines that hit
the spot. Anyway... This was colored with Copics. I 
put a few white ink dots on the wine and outlined
the entire image with a soft gray. Naturally,
there just HAD to be some glitter on the card,
which is generally a given, so I used Stickles
Glitter Glue for a couple of dots. They could've 
been a little rounder...but...I blobbed them out.
After I got my card layered, the sentiment
raised, I added some clear lacquer to the
crafting ladies' glasses. 
That pretty much completes this card!

Here's my card.

This image and sentiment from 
Jan's Digi Stamps  was a dandy for those
of us in the U.S.A. Star Spangled Wreath
I have a friend whose birthday in July 4th. 
An ideal choice! I checked through my 
random digital  papers and found a starry light 
blue that was perfect for adding the flag image! 
I colored it using Copic markers. A touch of sparkle 
pen was used to shine up the big center stars and
the tip of the flag staff. 
I added the sentiment to a die cut and 
raised it with foam mounting tape. 
Some coordinating paper layers was
all that was needed to complete my card!

This image and sentiment from 
Jan's Digi Stamps  was just too cute. Made 
me smile. I colored it using my Spectrum Noir
markers and that was about it! I made a 
sentiment bubble and raised it up with

appeal. Thanks for stopping by!

PIP Challenge 2138

I'm in the middle of nowhere on an island...
Yep, that's right...it's called Grandma's Island
in Phillips, WI. Privately owned, 13 acre island.
It's truly a piece of heaven and it does have
WiFi. Soooo, I hope this all gets posted. lol!
I am posting a few location pics at the bottom
of this post so everyone can see the beauty!!

Here's my card for the week!
This card was created for one of my best buddies
and my Florida travel pal's birthday this past
week. Gerri and I travel to FL for 3 months in
the winter, and husbands join us for a month
right in the middle. Enough about that, now 
about the card. I printed this wonderful image
from Jan's Digi Stamps. It's been colored with
Copics with some sparkle pens added to some 
of the flowers. I made the sentiment and added
some delightful, matching little hearts to the 
sentiment panel. A little bow out of twine, some
random dots in the background and layers to
complete the card. Basically easy but lovely...
I think. lol

Now here are a few of my Island photos.
