Mother Hen

Happy Friday everyone!!!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend planned!

I wanted to come by today to share a Mother's Day card with you.  I used one of Wink Wink Ink's fun digital images today and paired it with the sketch at Card Patterns.  I actually used my Prismacolor pencils this time instead of my Copics...imagine that!

While I'm here I wanted to remind you that Wink Wink Ink is having their first ever challenge and you still have plenty of time to play along!  All you need to do is use any WWI image (there is a freebie on the blog!) and border punches!  That's it!  Let's see ya get punchy with us!!!

Dustin Pike Releases New Toby & Buster Digis!

Good morning all!  The birds are singing and the sun is shining...even though it's tax day for all of us in the U.S. it's a great day!  This marks mine and hubby's 1 year anniversary of being NON-SMOKERS!!!  Woot!

All Dustin Pike fans...REJOICE!  Doodle Dragon Studios has released a new set of Toby (the turtle) & Buster (the bunny) images!  Also released today are a new set of pirate images!  Dustin has outdone himself again!  Be sure to head over to Dustin's Blog to see the awesome deal...today only!

I used one image from the T&B release and one image from the Pirates release.  Hope you like them...I couldn't find my mojo, so I am not happy with these at all.  :O(

Be suree to check out the other design team's creations too...links are in my sidebar.  I also wanted to take a minute to welcome Jenn, our newest teamie...her first card for the DT is amazing!  Stop by and show her some love!

Inktegrity's Hump Day Inspiration

Good afternoon everyone!  I love it when Blogger eats my posts, don't you?  This was scheduled last night and now?  POOF!  It's gone...not just not posted...gone!  Grrrr.

Anyway, it's time for another fun round of Inktegrity's Hump Day Inspiration...we're on sketch number 7 this week!  Fun!  Be sure to play along with us (you DO NOT need to use an Inktegrity image, though we would love to see it if you have them!) and you could win 3 digis from the Inktegrity store.

I couldn't get crafty with paper yesterday, so I made this cute digital layout of my DD instead.  Doesn't the sea horse fit right in?  :O)

Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's creations too!  Their links are on my sidebar!

Sketches, Butterflies and Coloring, Oh My!!!

Good morning everyone and Happy Hump Day!  I have a combined post for you today...The Digi Shack's Sketchbook Wednesday and Flutter By Wednesday all rolled into one! 

I have been dying to use this chair image from The Digi Shack.  Since Flutter By Wednesday is an open challenge (just use a butterfly, fairy or angel), I thought it was the perfect combination.  I imagined Spring and the butterfly sitting on the arm of the chair seemed a great choice.  Use the following sketch and join us at The Digi Shack...add a butterfly and join us at Flutter By Wednesday as well!  :O)

Check out my teamies from The Digi Shack AND Flutter By Wednesday...they are sure to have awesome creations for you!  Links are in my sidebar!  :O) 

Come on back at noon for my Inktegrity Hump Day Inspiration challenge!

Slamming Saturday Challenge at the Digi Shack!

OK, so it may not be slamming, but did it get your attention?  LOL!  Happy Saturday everyone!  I'm probably out as you're reading this getting inked up, so it's a very happy day for me!  Woohoo!

Today at The Digi Shack Toni has challenged us to make any 3D item and showcase a TDS image.  No flat stuff allowed here {I'm a walking example of no flat stuff}...no cards, no scrapbook pages.  Let's see what awesome 3D creations you have up your sleeves!  I made an accordian file "box" that will house all my printed digital stamps.  If I can find where I got the instrux, I will come back and edit this post to include the link.  As it is, I printed them out long ago and now I'm not sure where I got them.  :O)  I'd love to know what you think of it! 

Be sure to join us for this challenge and visit the rest of my teamies and show them some love!  Their links are on my sidebar!

Mojo Monday Winks!

Hello everyone!  I actually did another Mojo Monday this week!  Woot!  Two weeks in a row!  While I'm here I want to remind everyone that Wink Wink Ink is having their first ever challenge...and it's an easy one too!  Just use any WWI image and border punches on your creation!  As if that's not easy enough...Melanie has a FREEBIE you can use too!  Check out the WWI Blog for all the deets!!!

I made this cutie using another of Wink Wink Ink's adorable images.  Pup and Boots is the name of it...does this this look like Princess Lizzi Bear, or what?  See her on my sidebar!  *grin*

My ornery Griff would never sit still long enough for a photo op like this, but she's small enough to fit in a wellie for sure! That bow in her hair?  It took me 15 minutes to get it in there and took her about 15 seconds to get it off!  Also, while she's cute in her little hoodie in that pic, she refuses to wear anything and come out...if I dress her in anything she goes and hides and won't come out for anything!  HEH!

I popped up the entire image to sit above the ribbon and then colored another flower pot and popped it up one more time to create some dimension.  For some reason I can't see the shading on the pup in these photos, but it's there.  ;O)  What do you think of these puppies?

Inktegrity's Hump Day Inspiration Sketch #6...

This is my 3rd post today, so if you were looking for Flutter By Wednesday or The Digi Shack Challenges, please scroll down!

It's time for another Hump Day Inspiration Sketch at Inktegrity!  Diane gave us another great sketch to work with and I hope you'll join us this week!  While you do NOT have to use an Inktegrity image, we would love to see you use them if you have them!  :O)  I used Joni's cute little submarine and one of the sentiments that comes with it.  I flipped the sketch too. 

As always, we would love for you to join us!  Please visit the other Inktegrity DT members and show them some love too...links are on my sidebar!

This Flutter By has Soul, Sister!

Happy Hump Day all my fluttering friends!  Time for another Flutter By Wednesday today!  This week our former FBW DT member, Stef Hughes, is sponsoring us!  She has her own little Etsy Shop where she sells her digital designs.  One lucky player will win 2 digital stamps of their choice from Stef's shop!  Thanks Stef!!!

Your challenge today is to use glitter or bling along with a butterfly, fairy or angel!  I used one of Stef's sweet butterflies and added some Stickles to it and the dp on the right.  I hope you like it!

Little Green Men!

Oh no!  It's Tuesday and the little green men have arrived...the Visitors!  LOL!  Happy Tuesday everyone!  I have a fun card to share with you today.

But first...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MELANIE!!!  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Melanie at Wink Wink Ink has 2 sets of items that go hand in hand.  Aliens and Outer Space.  Here I used the alien, planet, and 3 mini spaceships.  Fun, right?  It's not my best work, I know, but I'm hoping the cuteness of the stamps will make up for that!  I even made them sparkly...I need to lay off the Twilight Saga.  ;O)

Don't forget that Wink Wink Ink has their first challenge going on!  Just use any WWI image and Border Punches to play along with us!  :O)

Dustin Pike/Doodle Dragon Studios Sneak Peek...

Good evening all!  I meant to post this earlier, but I forgot.  Dustin Pike, owner and artist of Doodle Dragon Studios has a "This 'n That" release coming soon!  As soon as he's feeling better it's all yours!  Until then, here is a sneaky peek of one of the images!

I used Little Cake and the current Mojo Monday sketch.  This sketch was hard for me, but I am really loving the result!  :O)  What say you?

You Look Like a Monkey...

And the smell?  Well, we won't get into that!  Happy Friday everyone!  It's date night...woohoo!

Today I have played along with Wild Flower Wednesday Challenge at the Wild Flower Patch!  It's my first time joining their challenge even though I have said every week I was going to play along.  Jen Shults is the artist behind the stamps and she is uber amazing!  I was lucky enough to have worked with her on a past design team, and let me tell you...her layouts and coloring skills are out of this world! 

I used the new digital stamp called Birthday Lily...isn't she sweet?  The DP is My Mind's Eye, Quite Contrary.

Happy Birthday if it's your birthday today...and merry un-birthday if it's not!  ;O)

New Release at Inktegrity...REEL-Y!

Happy April Fool's Day everyone!  This is no joke...Inktegrity has a fun new release today called Ticket Please!  These are fun little images to work with and so fast!

I used Popcorn for the front of my card and one of the tickets for the inside.  I added a pocket on the front and stuck an AMC gift card in there.  How fun!
