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.

Remember to be on the lookout for my card for the digi of the month (DOTM).

Imagine That Digi Stamps Design Team - Marshmellos

Hi all.  Today I am showing a card that I made for a the Imagine That design team.  I used an image from the Toasty Penguins set.  I colored the image with glitter gel pens, Copic markers, Sharpies and acrylic paint.  I cut out the image and used the negative part of a die cut scalloped oval (dark blue).  The image was pop dotted on lighter blue card stock that was glued onto the back of the frame.  The whole thing was mounted on a white card base and I use some punched snowflakes to embellish.

Don't forget that we have 2 challenges going on this month.  The first is S.O.T.M. challenge and the other one is the "Any IT Digi" challenge.  Check them out here.  There are some great design team samples that you can also see while you are there.

Football Humphrey

Today I am showing the card that I made for the Imagine That Digi stamps progressive challenge.  Today's card is called Football Humphrey.  I made all of the Humphrey images so I figured I would do this one also.  The file can be found here.  I colored Humphrey with gel pens and alcohol markers. He was fussy cut and pop dotted on to the background that I found online.  It was mounted on navy blue card stock and then mounted onto the card.  I did the hand sticking around the blue card stock.  hope you enjoy the card.  It is great for the football lover.

   

Remember that you can play along with our S.T.O.M. also known as the progressive digi challenge.  The details can be found here...

Christmas Snowmen

Hi all.  Today's card is an easel fold card for my Design Team submission for Imagine That Digis by Kris.  The name of the set is called Snowmen Trio.  I had fun coloring it with Sharpie fine point markers.  I used an oval Nestabilities die cut and an embossing folder for the texture on the bottom of the card.  The holder at the bottom is from a border punch that I attached with pop dots to "catch" the bottom of the oval.  I used glitter pens on some of the elements but you can not see them in the pic.  The sentiment was heat embossed with black.

I hope you enjoy it.

I'm Back!

Hi all.  Sorry that I have been MIA for a few weeks.  I was out of the country on a cruise (to renew our vows for our 15th anniversary).  Then I had to head down to Moffitt Cancer Center for some tests and my treatment.  The Dr. said that everything was pretty good and in my case, that is good!  Anyway, I am back with December's challenge card for Imagine That Digi Stamps Progressive Challenge.  The set used for this card is called Joy.  I colored it with alcohol markers, used die cuts, a punch, designer paper and ribbon to finish it.  

Be sure to play along by the end of the month and next month, you will get the January freebie to use.  If you have played in the past, you should already know how this works.  Be sure to check out the cards that the other Design Team members have made.

Imagine That November Progressive Challenge

Today, I am focusing on the Imagine That Progressive Digi challenge for November.  I have been extremely busy and I haven't had a chance to post until now.  This month we are using an image from the set called Jars of Cheer.  I chose the one with the peppermints because I am working on my Christmas cards and I thought this was a perfect one to use.  I printed the image and used different brands of alcohol markers to color and then cut it out.  I mounted it on a piece of minty green card stock that I embossed and mounted that on some designer card stock.  After I photographed this card, I decided to do a little more (to make it pop).  I used Ranger Glossy Accents to add dimension to the candy in the jar and on the holly berries.  Each piece of candy and berry had to be glossed individually so they looked like separate pieces of candy and berries.  Trust me, they do!  Unfortunately, I had already submitted it to Imagine That so I wasn't able to send in a new photo.  

Check out the above site and see what the other design team members have done.  They are great!

If you did not play last month, for your free digi, check out the store.  Once you have purchased your first challenge image, you will be able to get another free one, each month, as long a you play along!

Nuts About You!

I just love these Humphrey images from Imagine That Digis.  This one is Humphrey holding an acorn.  I dry embossed the background with a leaves embossing folder.  I cut out the image with a Nestabilities Die and Then cut a frame with the same shape, only larger.  I added 4 brads and that was that.  Hope you enjoy it...

It's not too late to play the Progressive Challenge over at Imagine That Digis.  The theme this month is Breast Cancer Awareness.  The digi that we are using is adorable!  Check it out!
