Current Challenge at CYDI?: Yellow

Good afternoon all!  I just wanted to pop in to let everyone know that the new challenge for Can You Digi It? is up running.  Use YELLOW!  Easy, right?  Not if yellow isn't your thing, it's not.

I made a layout of my daughter at the beach in CA and used several of the items in the Minty Sunshine line by CYDI?...there are some fun elements in this one!  This is as yellow as I could get.  LOL!

Pop on over and join us in the current challenge - there's 2 weeks left!  MWAH!!!

New Stuff from Scrap Art Studio

Good morning, my pretties!  I'm here to show off some brand new stuffs from Scrap Art Studio...if you're a digi scrapper, hybrid scrapper/card maker or art journaler you will LOVE SAS!  I promise!

I'm gonna start off with the new Follow Your Art mini kits called Back to Basics...The first 2 are from Cilenia Curtis.  Page 1 mini kit.  Page 2 mini kit.  The first is an art journal page on why things can't be as "easy as ABC."  The second was inspired some of the word art strips included in the mini kit.

 

The next mini kit from FYA Back to Basics is by Aria.  Such little kits can really be used to create something big!  :O)

Next up is another kit by Cilenia Curtis: artse Play 01.  One digital layout and one digital art journal page.

Last but not least...this CASE File was created by me and is FREE through today.  Every Monday you can swing by to grab another freebie PSD template.  After Friday these are sold for $1.35 with the proceeds going to charity!

I hope you liked some of the new finds at SAS...join us in the FORUMS where we have monthly challenges to win credits for the Shop!  MWAH!!!

Pixie Dust Studio Hop - Day 1

Welcome to Day One of the Three Day Pixie Dust "Oh, Snap!" Blog Hop!

 If you arrived here from Kathy's blog, then you're in the right place! If not start at the beginning at the Pixie Dust Studio Blog. Participating Pixies will present a new project on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Each day Pixie will select a "Mystery Blog". One comment will be randomly chosen from that blog, and the lucky hopper will win one digital image. In addition, there will be a Grand Prize each day of the Hop!

I used the image called Oh Snap...appropriately named, I must say!  The poor little fella has lost his arm.  At my house that means it's not fit to give away to anyone, so we have to eat it ourselves.  :O)  This will be the front page for my 2012 album of festivities.  I used papers from myself called Krafty Kristmas and I colored little gingie in Photoshop CS5.

Now it's time to visit Christine's lovely blog and see what she's made for you.  Thanks so much for stopping by today...don't forget to come back tomorrow!  MWAH!!!

Remember...

Hello again, my crafty friends.  Today we have a very special challenge over at the Can You Digi It? blog.  Challenge #18 is to Find Your Inner Phoenix.   As mythology states, a phoenix is able to be reborn from its ashes...what does the phoenix bring out in you?  Being that today is 9/11 I wanted to make sure I will always remember that infamous day in history.  Like I could forget...it's like it just happened.  I will always be proud to be an American and will certainly always remember how strong we stood as one in the face of devstating tragedy.

I used papers from the 4th at Grandma's collection and some B&W Washi Tape from the CYDI? store.  Won't you join us in this challenge?

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  MWAH!!!

New Artist Debut at CYDI?!

Good morning everyone!  I'm here today to share a couple of projects with you from a new artist at Can You Digi It?...Hannah Clark of Delightfully Distressing Designs!

I made the first page...an art journal page using her Shabby Melody items.  I absolutely love the colors and the theme.  I couldn't resist using this kit for one of my favorite {ever} songs from Metallica.

I made a layout using her sweet Butterfly Bliss items...don't you just love these colors?  How awesome and totally gorgeous!  I am so pleased with the way this one came out.

Bad Back

Hi all!  I have missed you all and my crafty time too!  A super quick post this evening to show off some layouts I made before I seriously injured my back.  I'll pop back in later and add the links to the digital goodies I used for my layouts!

All the scrummy digital kits I used are from the Follow Your Art July Collab called Turning Point by Angie Young, Aria & Cilenia Curtis!

At The Beach...

Good morning, my crafty bleeps!  I hope all is well with you this lovely Tuesday morning.  I'm praying for a day that's cool here in Kansas...that would mean lower 90's!

I'm here with another fun challenge for the Can You Digi It? blog.  Michelle has chose AT THE BEACH for us and put together this fun inspiration board.  Join us for your chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the CYDI? Store (CYDI? image is not required, but we would LOVE to see you use them)!

I made a digital layout with Michelle's latest and greatest kit called Minty Sunshine.  I adore the way this page came out!  I also used LilyPink Designs' Text Cloud & Songbird image in the upper left corner.  I did "erase" the words in Photoshop to better match my page.

I hope my layout has inspired you because I can't wait to see what you'll come up with for our challenge!  Thank you so very much for stopping in today!  MWAH!!!

Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day!

I'm popping in today to share a layout I made using a new Pixie Dust Studio image called Uncle Sam.  We went to Warsaw over the weekend and watched the fireworks from the boat.  They shoot them off of the Truman Dam every year and, let me tell you, they never disappoint!  The display is always amazing and I got a most excellent shot this year!  WOOT!  I have used some digital papers that I made called The 4th at Grandma's and cropped Uncle Sam to use only his head.  I used a sketch I found over at Sketch~N~Scrap.  I flipped it so I could use my new fave pic of the fireworks!

Thanks so much for coming by to visit me today!  I hope you have a wonderful and safe 4th of July!

Trash the Dress

Hidee ho, neighbors!  Another post?  In one day?  I'm on a roll I tell ya!  Actually, I just couldn't wait to show off these layouts I made using Angie Young's kit called Come On Get Happy (it's 35% off right now!).  The photos are from the ever talented Joe Devine of Devine Studios...it was my "Trash the Dress" session after the hubs and I got married.

Thanks so much for popping in and leaving some love for me!  I appreciate each and every one of your comments!  MWAH!!!

Over the Hill

Good morning!  It's time for June Show and Tell over at Dustin Pike's Blog!  He has released some super cute images, as usual, so you had better scoot on over to Doodle Dragon Studios and pick them up!

Today I used Over the Hill for a layout of my dear hubby on his 40th birthday.  The digital kit is by Angie Young of Follow Your Art and can be found HERE.  I used only the B&W items from the kit along with some red paper that I made and some grunge brushes.  I colored Over the Hill in Photoshop.  :O)

Thanks so much for stopping in today to see what I've been up to!  MWAH!!!

It is comprised of 3 very talented and unique artists; Cilenia Curtis, Angie Young & Aria. Each one of them has their own line and they also do a colab using the same color palette every month. I have linked their shops above...do give them a peek if you love artsy crafting kits!

Here are several layouts I have made using the amazing Discover Colab...find these bundles HERE for Cilenia, HERE for Angie & HERE for Aria.
This first layout is using the FYA subscriber's freebie.

The next 8 (yes, I said 8) layouts are for an album of our family photo shoot...perfection for the urban photos!

Do check back because I have lots more to share!  I am even considering starting my own art journal with these amazing kits and the inspiring pages I have seen from the CT.  MWAH!!!
