More great news and a few cards

I was really blessed to be asked to be a part of the Digiments design team. Digiments is a new company opened by Michelle. She creates sentiments that you download and print out at your leisure. Why I love this...the image is always clear (no more smudges or uneven words), you can make the image larger or smaller (which is great for cards when I want it a little smaller and altered projects which I usually want larger), no physical storage (except my hard drive), and it only takes a click to print(no need to get ink pads, blocks, etc). Okay, that is fabulous!
My sidebar has a listing of all the wonderful ladies that I will be working with at Digiments.

Below is my audition card featuring a Digiments sentiment:

Supplies: Bazzill sage green, pink, and black card stock, Webster's Pages pattern paper, AC Moore cream twill ribbon, Dress It Up black button, Archival Sepia Ink, and DMC white floss

This digiment and more will be avialable very soon.. The store goes live on May 13th and I will anounce it on my blog when it does! :-)

Next is my card for Card Patterns #13 challenge. Another great sketch provided.



Supplies: Making Memories Noteworthy paper collection and tag sticker, Martha Stewart ribbon, Prima flower, DMC floss, Archival Sepia Ink, Kaiser Craft rhinestone, and Marcella rub-on

That's it for today! Thank you for visiting! I truly appreciate it! :-)

Hurrah! Hurrah!

It's official! I was selected for a new position at Paper Popsicles as the Card Connoisseur. I will be contributing to the Paper Popsicles blog each week with a card sketch or recipe. I hope you will join me there for this exciting new feature and best of all... there will be prizes. Who doesn't like prizes? Stay tuned for the first post. I will update here when it goes live. I suspect it will be very soon. :-) In the meantime, join the board and meet some new and maybe a few old friends as we chit chat about the craft we love, share techniques, offer sketch and theme challenges and lots more.

I fell in love with the kits for May. Melissa has created incredible kits for a fantastic price. My personal favorite is the May Mini Picket Fence. It's only $9.99 for all of this....


What a deal! Paper Popsicles offers several kits including a card kit. Click here to view all the wonderful kits for May. Also, the Paper Pospsicle store offers scrapbooking and paper craft goodies at discounted prices! I bought tons of Kaiser Craft bling for only $1.40 per pack. Yahoo! There are lots of items on clearance at amazing prices so be sure to view all those items.

I do have a card to share today. I completed the ICS #14 challenge. When Making Memories introduced the Noteworthy collection, I went crazy for it and bought a huge amount of it. Plus, a local scrap book store was closing and they were offering a discount on everything so it was a steal. I can't pass up on deals. Anyhow, I still adore this line and it seems to always inspire me. Here's my take on #14:


Close up of card:



Supplies: Making Memories Noteworthy papers, felt flowers, Bazzill card stock, Making Memories foam glitter butterfly, Kaiser Craft rhinestones, EK Sucess friend stamp, Archival ink, and ribbon from craft supply

Thank you for stopping by! I always appreciate visitors. :-)

Just thinking

This card was fun to create. A little window with a Hambly screen print and a MME acetate bird I cut out and accented with a bling eye. This is a two for one challenge.
Melissa at Let's Scrap asked for a bird card and Sketches by Tamara recipe #46 asked for the following items on a card: stitching, rub on's, and a winged thing.

Here's mine:

Card Patterns #12

Another really cool sketch is available at Card Patterns. I am using some older papers by one of my favorite manufacturers, October Afternoon. I like the bright yellow mixed with the blues and olive green. They made me happy when I looked at them.

Bazzil card stock
Ocotber Afternoon Hometown Home Depot paper
Ocitber Afternoon Hometown file folder and name plate die cut shapes
Making Memories green ribbon and gold brads
7 Gypsies stamp
Archival Ink
Green staples from craft supply
Kaiser craft rhinestones

Thank you for stopping by my blog! Have a terrific Tuesday!
