Digi Choosday's Challenge Week 13 - Ovals (Think Easter)

Sadly this will be my last post with Digi Choosday's,

I have made the decision to take a little

break and have stepped down from the team.

This week's challenge is "Ovals, think Easter" at Digi Choosday's challenge.

When I think Easter, I think bunnies and well, 

what is cuter than this little guy here. 

His name is Noah!  His link is below.

Isn't he just too cute? I used an oval spellbinder

to cut out the digital image, so that is oval

requirement of the challenge...

The Paper Shelter Challenge #196 Blooming

Sadly this will be my last card with one

of the most amazing design teams.....

I have really enjoyed my time with this

fabulous group of ladies. Thank you for

accepting me to your group... =)

The "Blooming" challenge is happening 

over at The Paper Shelter.

I decided to use one the newly release stamps

called Spring Soul. She is perfect for this card.

I went crazy with the flowers and

it was so much fun. I also seem

to have an addiction to these colours!

Digi Choosday's Challenge Week 12 - Lots of Layers!

So this week's inspiration project is going to be a little 

different for me. I decided that for the "Lots of Layers"

challenge at Digi Choosday's Challenge, I would

step outside the box and do a digital scrapbook page.

Originally I was going to ink up the image on 

my own but I could not get it to "work" with the

layout, so I opted for the pre-coloured image

that the kit offers, they really are gorgeous.

I used the MyMemories program. The last time I did

this was about 4 years ago for scrapbooks I did for

my Mom and SIL for Christmas. So I was teaching myself

as I went. Also, my program kept crashing which made this

project a little tedious, but I learned that if I saved after 

every add on, I was ok.

Let's talk about the add ons... there are a TON of layers

on this page..... I even distressed the edges and added the Tim

Holtz distressing ink in Walnut Stain.

I liked the way it turned out, aside from 

it taking forever because of all the system crashes.

The nice thing about this program is

that you can pop everything up by adding shadows

to everything, which kind of makes it look 3Dish.

EVERYTHING on this project was from the new release, Eden.

The papers, the flowers, the butterflies, the word art, the coloured image,

the sentiment. It was ALL from the new release.

This is super gorgeous release everybody, 

you HAVE to check it out.... the link is below.

Digi Choosday's Challenge Week 11 - Anything but a Square!

This week's challenge over at 

Digi Choosday's challenge

is "Anything But a Square" card.

I really wanted to showcase the beautiful

digital stamp called Dollie Daydream Goes East - Lilly.

Isn't she gorgeous?

She was a dream to ink up.

She can be bought as a single stamp or

a full collection. For the paper, I 

used a sample from the Christmas Joy collection.

It matched up so well the image I inked.

Please see below for the links.

I used a Grand Caliber Labels 1 for the card shape. 

Please excuse my pictures as well, I have been trying different 

editing software, the editing for these pictures

were with Picmonkey. Quite fun to use... =)

I was really trying to figure out the best way to

feature the beautiful stamp.

The simple background and simple black

accessories did the trick.

The Paper Shelter Challenge #194 Girly

First things first, The Paper Shelter is

looking to add some members to

their DT, please see information below....

Onto this week's challenge.....

For this week's challenge over at The Paper Shelter, it 

was all about making it girly.....

Now girly to me is not always about princesses and tiaras.

I chose to go a little different with this... 

I added some girly elements with the flowers and pearls

but I wanted it to be a bit funky with the skull

and this image..... I LOVE the tattoo on her arm! =)

For this card I chose to use one of the new releases

called Naughty or Nice. She was a dream to ink up.

You can find her here!

Copics

Skin: E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R20

I was also thinking of one of my BFF's when I 

was making this card, she is kind of badass.

I thought the image was perfect, along with the 

girly stuff and the skull.. =)

I had fun layering all the pieces to this card...

There is a TON of glue.

Digi Choosday's Challenge Week 10 - Add Some Lace

This week's challenge over at Digi Choosday's

is to add some lace to your creation.

We all know I am not a HUGE fan of the stuff

but I think I pulled it off with this card.

I used the newly released Octavia Moonfly

Rose Garden. {Link is below}

In fact, the image and papers are from 

the same collection. The scrabble tiles

are from the Work and Play 9

Love and Kisses collection.

I like how this turned out even though I think 

lace is hard to work with.
