Tommy Turtle

Happy Holiday Greetings!!! I'm so excited about celebrating Christmas with my family tonight and can't wait to get up early with the kids in the morning! Fun stuff!

Today's card features this adorable turtle image, called Thankful Tommy Turtle. Ah, I just have a thing for turtles, they're so darn cute!! Tommy is currently a digi image, which can be purchased and downloaded from the Sweet 'n Sassy web site...but....if you can wait a few more days....you'll be able to purchase Tommy, along with a bunch of other darling turtle images and sentiments, as a stamp set!! Ohhh...I can't wait!!!

My card features sweet paper from My Minds Eye; I kept the card layout fairly simple so I could give all the attention to Tommy. *wink* I did slightly alter the image by cutting the thank you tag off of the flower. I was going to have Tommy "holding" it but decided that it looked cute with a bit of twine, layered on his shell.

Be sure to check back on the Sweet 'n Sassy web site on January 1st for lots of new goodies!!

Something for Everyone!

Happy Hump Day!  Already we are half-way through the week, can you believe it!?  Well, it has been a while since I posted here on the digi-blog, so I thought I would update you on some cards using some NEW images as well as some oldie but goodies too!   Some of these may be repeat-cards for those of you who peruse my blog regularly, but if you don't.... here's a few you may have missed!

The Sweet 'n Sassy digis I used in each creation are LINKED UNDER each card! 

ENJOY!

Thank You!

Greetings, all! I've had so much fun being a guest digi diva this month, that I decided I'd make a "thank you" card for Korin and Sandy and Kim and all the gals at Sweet 'n Sassy for being such a blessing to me. What a wonderful group they are!!

Putting together my card this week kind of went in stages. I knew I wanted to use Thankful Turtle for this card, so I went to my scrap piles and looked for some dp to catch my eye. This piece from a long ago K&Co Pack looked perfect, so I chose my Copic colors based on the colors in the paper. When I finished coloring Mr. Turtle, I looked for a sketch that would fit with the amount of dp I had, and with the shape of my main image. I used an older Taylored Expressions sketch (#42, I think) as my jumping off point, but you wouldn't really know it from the finished product!! LOL!! After embossing my little panel and making my layered image, I added some stitching, a little bow and a charm I found in my embellishment drawer. Ta-Da!!

Thanks so much for visiting !

Blessings!
