BLISS

Good morning and happy Saturday to you!  All is quiet here in the Pierce household this morning.  It is colder than a witch's...well, never mind that.  It's just cold!  Since it is and I have buddies that are being showered with snow as a type I thought I'd share a card I made back in December.  Yes, that's right...December!  I'm a slacker.

I used the adorable digi image called Snowman from Mo's Digital Pencil.  This is one of my fave images!  I had a blast coloring him up on kraft card stock with my Prismacolor pencils.  Woot!  I hope you like it and that you're nice and warm today!

Have a super weekend and thank you for stopping by!

The Zoo Has Arrived...

Good morning all.  It's time for another super cute release from Dustin Pike / Doodle Dragon Studios!  It's the much anticipated Zoo release.  These guys are too darned cute!  There are 24 images in the set and he's even throwing in colored ones too.  All for the low price of $5!  Get them while you can!  ;O)

Before I forget...I told you that I would share a photo of Jake and I on his 13th birthday...here we are.  Following that is the birthday card I made for him.  The image from Digital Pencil Too was perfect since you can ALWAYS find him playing the Xbox 360.  Orange is his fave color, so that's the color of his shirt, the chip bag would be sour cream and cheddar, the soda can is Mt. Dew Live Wire and the candy bar is Butterfinger.  All his favorites...he looks at the card every morning...that makes me grin!  I used the current sketch from Mojo Monday.

Here is the layout I made with the elephant, hippo and rhino from the DDS Zoo Release.  ;O)

Be sure to check out the rest of the DT's creations too...links are on my sidebar.  (If the release isn't posted on Dustin's blog yet, be patient...it'll be there!)  Have a great day!

Digital Pencil Too Challenge #7 & Other Challenges!

Hi crafty friends!  Happy Friday!  :O)  I told you yesterday to stay tuned because I was off to make a card for Mo's Digital Pencil Too Challenge...well I did.  I had it finished yesterday morning, but I got sidetracked and didn't end up getting it posted.  So here I am with it today instead!  I'm sure no one wanted to see my name first on Mr. Linky again this week anyway!  ;O)

The challenge this week at Digital Pencil Too Challenge Blog is a recipe.  You must use 3 different papers, a decorative edge and 2 ribbons along with one of Mo's fabby digis!  I love recipe challenges!  I used Bismark for this challenge...he's SO sweet!!!  I am too happy with the way this turned out.  :O)

Digital Pencil Too Challenge #6!

Hi all my crafty people!  I actually did the Digital Pencil Too Challenge on the day it was issued!  Isn't that something?  :O)  This stamp is so darling!  I believe this is pretty much what I looked like when I was little...hair, kitty and all!  It reminds me of the Bugs Bunny cartoon where the great big dog is saying something like "I will love him and hug him and squeeze him and rock him...and I will call him George!"  LOL!

Anyway, the challenge for this week is a sketch.  Here it is along with my interpretation.

Digital Pencil Too Challenge #5

***This is my 2nd post today.  If you're looking for FBW, please scroll down!***

I'm baaaaaaack!  Here with another challenge.  Digital Pencil Too Challenge #5!  Their theme this week is "All that Glitters" - Just use three (3) different sparkly elements on your card; ie: glitter, gems, sequins, etc.

I used Mo's fabby Snowman image...I just love him.  When DP2 had their first ever blog hop I was totally inspired by Cheryl's card.  More than inspired I guess...I cased it!  You can see the original HERE!  For sparkles I used glitter dp, Spica glitter marker, glitter glass and rhinestones.  :O)

For some reason I CANNOT get the glitter glass to photograph well.  It doesn't sparkle in any of my photos!  I took about 20 pictures and none of them were any good!  Bah!

Just squeakin' in here for the Digital Pencil Too Challenge #4!  I made this over at Peggy's house today...she's so happy to be celebrating!!!  :O)  Be sure to head over Mo's and get some of these cuties for yourself!!!  I did a tri-fold shutter card for the "fancy card fold".  I think this is as fancy as they come.  I love these!

I'll be back tomorrow with some more fun stuff!  :O)

Happy Friday everyone!  We made it!  Today I have a challenge entry for Mo's Digital Challenge.  Our challenge this week is to use a DPT image, 2 embellies & colors that remind us of fall.  I was all over this challenge!  I love Fall and this little guy looks like he does too!  Whatcha' think???
