New Month, New Cards...

Hi all.  Well, March did come in like a lion, so I am told.  However, here in FL, I think we hit some record highs!  We had our coldest weather at the end of February but when March came, it suddenly turned into Spring.  I know you folks up north will be blessed with better weather, soon.  Meanwhile, I have been working on some card that I would like to share.  The first one is the D.O.T.M. (design of the month) which means a new challenge at Imagine That Digi Stamps.  I am very excited to show you this card.  Kris did an amazing job, designing these digi stamps.  Remember, if you played in the challenge last month, you can have the free digi to use in the challenge, this month.

I used a combination of glitter gel pens, alcohol markers, sponged ink and some die cuts.  The background is designer paper from the set.  It is called Pretty Peacocks and I definitely think they are!

Check out all of the other great digi stamps while you are there.  By the way, there is also another challenge that they have every month where you use any Imagine That Digi stamp.

The next card that I am showing is a card that I made from an adorable clear set that came with the January issue of Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine.

I stamped the image on watercolor paper and used my new Prismacolor watercolor pencils.  It was my first try and I am rather pleased with the outcome.  I just love the die cut grass that I used on both of these cards.  The die cut is from My Favorite Things.

I hope you enjoy seeing my cards.  Please let me know that you visited by leaving a comment in the comment section, below.  It really means a lot to me!

Till next time...

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.
