Oh, BEEHAVE!

I created this cute card using a new image from Doodle Dragon Studios.  I got a little tricky with it and took the image into photoshop and erased some of the image to create my own version...I didn't need a birthday card, so I got rid of the confetti, party hat and noise maker. I left out the lines I had to erase and printed it and then drew the lines back in with a pen.  Here is Bee-Have!

Thanks so much for popping in to check out my card!  MWAH!!!

Doodle Dragon & Designed to Color Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Spring Fling Hop with Doodle Dragon Crew and Design to Color!  You should have hopped from Lisa's fabby blog.  If not, please start back at DTC so you don't miss out on any of the fun projects...or chances to win!  ;O)

 We are so happy you could join us for this special occasion.

Today I decided "SPRING" backwards and use an image from the March 2012 Members Only file.  The number on this image is Mar12MO10B.  I printed him out on Neenah card stock and paired him with some EP polka dot paper and some BoBunny card stock.  The cute little flower card stock sticker is from Cosmo Cricket that I picked up on clearance at my LSS.  I colored this BEE-utififul image with my trusty Copics, which I have listed for you below.  The sentiment is a rubber stamp from CC Designs that I blinged up with a little help from my Gelly Roll Stardust pen in clear.  I wish you could see the subtle sparkle on his wings...it's so pretty IRL!

Voodoo Dollies

Hello everyone!  You're gonna love these adorable Voodoo dollies from Dustin Pike of Doodle Dragon Studios.  These are perfect for that special person.  These sweet-as-can-be images are now available at the Doodle Dragon Studios Store!

My first card uses VooDood (get it?  VooDude?) Line.  I couldn't resist a sassy sentiment...this one will, of course, need to be for my hubby.  LOL!  He'll appreciate it.  Colored with Copics and a little Stickles on the heart pin...

My next card features VooDood Stuck.  How can anyone NOT be stuck on these images?  I mean, for reals!  I love the little fellas so much!  Colored with Copics and distressed around the edges...

Thanks so much for stopping in today...go get your VooDood on!  MWAH!!!

Farewell to Pixie Dust Studio

Hello all and happy Saturday!  I'm back with my second project for the Forest Friends Release at Pixie Dust Studio.  Today I have merged three images for my card.  I  just couldn't choose!  I used Forest Bella, Forest Fella and Forest Finds.  I colored them up with my Copics and for the life of me I could not get the lightest pinks to show in my photos!  Grrr!  I ended up selecting them in Photoshop and recoloring...this was after I tried to adjust the colors.  It's a mess, but you get the idea.  LOL!

Check them out and shop away!  Thanks so much for stopping by this weekend!  MWAH!!!

With Love

Good morning, everyone!  I'm here again with your challenge reminder for Can You Digi It?!  You’ve got 5 days left to join in on the fun…our current challenge is called Getting Girly.  Take a peek at the inspiration board I came up with for you for a little inspiration.  Pink, shoes, nails, sparkles, pearls, flowers cosmetics, jewelry…anything girly goes!!!

For my creation I am using Lovely Girl by Betty Edwards and Embellie Gellie (I love this stuff).  She’s been colored with Copics and cut out.  I made the flower for her hair using some coordinating paper and a pearl to get really girly.  I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for popping in to see what I'm up to!  MWAH!!!

Birthdays and Thank Yous!

I have a double post for you today.  EEEK!

Today is the fabulously creative and Disney-addicted Dustin Pike's birthday!  He has released some new Birthday Monkeys to celebrate.  I used the Cake Monkey for my layout of my hubby.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DUSTIN!!!

Next up I have my challenge card for Pixie Dust Studio Pixie Challenge.  It's all about Thank Yous.  We should all send more of these out!  I used the sweetest girl called Sugarplum Fairy for my card.  Come on over and join us in our current challenge!

Thanks so much for popping in to see my double post today!  I appreciate you all!  MWAH!!!

Doodle Dragon Release

Snow?  Who said snow?  Dudley LOVES snow and this release from Doodle Dragon Studio proves it!  I couldn't choose between them, so I used them all to make a cute little gift set of note cards.  Super simple lets Dudley have all the glory...just the way he likes it!  ;O)

Be sure to check out Dustin's Blog for other fab samples from the Doodle Crew and to get a sneak peek at his next release!  Thanks so much for popping in!  MWAH!!!

Let's Shop Till We Drop

Good afternoon all!  I know I've been a bad girl about posting regularly.  With the summer, kids getting back to school, activities and the like I have really been a slacker!  Well, I'm back and hopefully staying on top of things.

Today I'm showing you a card I made using a new image from a new artist at Can You Digi It?...isn't she cute.  She's my kind of girl too!  Look at all those shopping bags!  I colored with Copics and used some scrummy papers from BoBunny.

Do come on back tomorrow for a special post.  MWAH!!!

Happy Birthday, Joni!

Good morning, friends!  I'm peeking in this morning to send 60th birthday wishes to my friend and Can You Digi It? DT sister, Joni Mastronardi.  Won't you stop by her blog and wish her a happy birthday today?  I know she would LOVE IT!

Happy birthday, sweetie!

For my card I used a ton of gems from the Crystal Wheel along with the ever amazing Embellie Gellie.  The image is retired from the CYDI? Store.  The papers and ribbon are from a DCWV paper pack.

Check out what some of the other girls from the CYDI? team made for Joni's milestone birthday too!  MWAH!!!

Feel Better Soon

Good morning all!  Today is the 1st day of Middle School - 7th grade - for my youngest.  She was terribly excited and I guess I was too.  I was up at 3AM after tossing and turning all night.  She followed shortly behind and got up at about 4:45AM.  I took her to breakfast since we had so much time and I will share pictures later!

The reason for my post today is a new challenge over at the Can You Digi It? blog.  The next 2 weeks is all about PURPLE PLEASE!  Check out the amazing inspiration board and be inspired...join us for your chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the CYDI? Store!

I used a super cute image from Mike Eustis called XO.  Don't you just love those extra long legs?  I also used a digital paper pack called Passion for Purple along with some Bazzill card stock.  The sentiment is a stamp from CTMH.

Thanks so much for popping in to see what I've been up to.  Come join us...the challenge is running until August 27!  MWAH!!!

New Artist at CYDI?!

Today, we welcome Mike Eustis to the Can You Digi It? artist family!  Just WAIT until you see what he has in the store for you, but first a little about the artist:

Mike is a children's illustrator based in Seattle, WA, where the sun is ALWAYS shining on him.  He has been doing this for 12 years now.  When he's not drawing fabulous images, he likes to feed the birds, cook, and read historical fiction novels.

Maybe that's where the variety in his images comes from?  Today, we are debuting 8 of Mike's fabulous images.  Check them out before you head for the shop!

Bird Watching:

Happy Toilet Training:

Les Paleontologists:

Little Scuba:

Off We Go:

Saturday AM Wizardry:

Something's Fishy:

The Design Team got to play with the image, Off We Go, early, and I sure had a ball with it!  What a fun image!  I had something made up in record time.  I also used Embellie Gellie, Crystal Wheel, Smooch in Kiwi & Best Glue Ever for my card.

Thanks so much for popping in to check out what I've been up to!  Keep on coming by too...we have some exciting things brewing at CYDI?!  MWAH!!!

Christmas in July?

Christmas in July?  You betcha!  Welcome to another challenge for Can You Digi It?!  April has challenged us to make a Christmas project using a non-holiday themed stamp.  Check out the cool ideas on this inspiration board!

This was a fun challenge and I really wanted to make sure I used non-traditional colors and an image that no one else would use...I believe I succeeded!  :O)  I used the image Hen Pecked from LilyPink Designs.  I didn't think the cute sentiment around the frame went with Christmas (though it certainly could), so I colored the band around the outside in black.  I used one of my fave stamps from CTMH for the sentiment.  Everything is colored with Copics.  I used some Embellie Gellie to grab the cute little pearls from the Zva Creative Pearl Wheel and added those to the corner of the card with the Best Glue Ever.

Come on over and join in this fun challenge.  You have until July 16th to link up on the CYDI? blog for your chance to win a $10 gift certificate for digital goodness at the CYDI? Store!  Thanks so much for popping in!  MWAH!!!
