February Digi of the Month

Hi all.  I am a bit behind on getting my Digi of the Month (D.O.T.M.) DT inspiration card done.  I have finished it and would like everyone to get a chance to play in this month's challenge.  If you played last month, you should already have the new stamp set called Mailbox Kitties.  If not, you can purchase it from the store.  The price has been reduced from $3.00 to $1.95.  In fact, all of the older stamps have been reduced!  There is even a new category of $1 digis.  Now is the time to go to the store and pick up the ones that you don't already own.  My DT card for this month was done a little differently from what I usually do.  After I colored the image with alcohol markers, I fussy cut it and made several layers to place the image onto.  I used a lace heart doily, a couple of layers of cardstock, one of which I dry embossed with my heart embossing folder.  I used my new ribbon from the Dollar Tree and added a couple of threaded buttons.  

Don't forget to play along with our Feb. Digi of the Month challenge.  Please be sure to check out the other designers' projects while you are at the site.  

Till next time...

Valentine Mouse

Hi all.  I am back this month with a new card for Imagine That Digis design team. I have been in the hospital (again) and I am a bit behind, but I hope to play catch up this week.  I also plan to post the digi of the month card very soon.  You will have all month to play.  My new card is called Chloe's Balloons and can be found in the store, here.  I colored the image with alcohol markers and pieced the balloons with some of the Valentine designer paper in the store.  More of the designer paper was also used for the background.   In addition,  I added a heart shaped doily and some tiny pearls that I painted red with a Copic marker.

Here is another Valentine card that I made as a sample for a Zentangle® card class that I am teaching.  I tried to use a lot of the elements that I will be bringing to the class.

February Challenge

Hi All.  I have been away for a while so I need to play catch-up!  Today's card is for the Imagine That Digis Progressive Freebie Challenge for February.  The name of the file is called Polar Love.  As usual, you can buy it at a discount if you didn't participate in last month's challenge.  Remember, once you enter into the challenge, your next challenge set will be free!  Since the colored image from the set had a white bear, I decided to make mine a little different and colored him brown.  I made this into an easel fold card and added a lot of elements.  Sometimes, I feel that I need to step out of the box and do something a little different.  This was the time!  I just love the colors pink and red, together so that was what I did.  I really like the doily effect on top.  This card folds down into an A-2 card and fits nice and flat for mailing (even with the hearts popped up a little).  The 

sentiment is from a set of clear stamps that are all religious in nature.  The inside sentiment says Sending lotsa love, which is from the Polar Love file.  

There are some great things happening over at Imagine That Digis.  Please check them out!  Also, don't forget to leave me a message here on my blog.  Your comments mean a lot to me!

Thanks.
