Very cute still... =D

I was having so much fun with the set this week I actually made more than one thing to share!

 First things first though...

Our Challenge's Stamp set this week was

 Fairy Tale stamp set by J W Illustrations

Don't you  just love it! I know I do.. I can't wait to use more of this set for other things.

 This particular set is also a SVG cut file and pre-colored digi  art  so go buy it today! LOL

Anyway =D

I decided to play around in the Photoshop 7 & see what I could make...

I found some nice brushes & background papers with a quick search online.

So far this is what I made...

Oh and be kind...LOL...

This is my first real digi foray...

I had fun even though it took me a while to figure out a few things.

I did however get this made...

I still need to print my picture out but  the letters are not fully adheared so I

 can slid in a photo. I am placeing a picture of Rory & Griffin hench the letters... =D 

 

The Velum quote was from a pad by Best Ocassions

The large letters are Colorbok Wild Life line...

Close up of my Princes

 Used my new copics on them... and a bit of stickles...

Hope you like this LO...  =D

Sassy Cheryl Fishing mishap card

Hello Again!

MyGraficO has some really talented designers

 &

Sassy Cheryl is one of the newer ones.

Her designs are really beautiful ... so go check her out. 

 I used the Fishing Mishap digital image. When I saw the image I thought of frogs, so I punched a few from a foam sheet. The green scraps from my last project were perfect for lily pads for them to sit on. I used the cuttlebug folder mesh to make them look real. I used my prisma markers to color in the image. I used silver stickles on the hook & other metal parts of the fishing  pole. I also used several blue stickles for the water.

I used the EK boarder punche swiss cheese to make the cute "bubbles" along the edges and misc papers.

overall its a pretty simple card  with alot of work in the details... ; )

Thanks for looking!

MyGraficO challenge # 35

A day late due to my new pc not having everything installed so I could upload my new creations...

for this Mygrafico challenge the team was asked to create something with the colors

 Pink, Olive Green, & Brown

I have to say this was a bit of a challenge for me at first 

I just couldn't find any Olive Green or Brown paper in my stash.

I guess that means I need to get more stuff! =D

I did eventually find some pieces from a scrap pack I bought a while ago.

the Stamp set we had to choose from was...Keys to my Heart by Sara Paris

Hope you all like the card I made...

Thanks for looking!

 &

 Don't forget if you play along you could win this set!

All you have to do is upload your project link using the colors pink olive green & brown to the Mygraficochallenge blog in the challenge #35 post and your entered to win! Yay!   You can also play along tomorrow for the Wensday DT blog hop so join that too!

Details:

 Stickles - gold, candy cane pink,  and diamond

Papers- Misc from scrap pack

Digital stamps- Keys to my Heart - by Sara Paris  found at MyGrafico.com

Cuttlebug Embossing folder- mesh

 I cut the embossed heart's edges to make fringe, stickled all the edges to finish them and made hearts along the outer edges of the card.

MyGraficO challenge #34

This was super easy to do, in fact it takes less than an hour to make!  

Hope you all enjoy the pictures!

 You  could win the Dogs Day stamp set if you do!

Front View of the card

Here you can see the dog house which I attached to the left side of the cards opening

The base of the card was cut and colored to look like dog eared wood fencing

An upclose view of the card front.

Here you can see the card opened , Left a spot for journaling a quick note on the left 

 up close you can see I cut out 2 dog bones to hold the gift card & lined the inside of the card for stability and to cover the marker mess...

I do have one thing not added that I will photgraph in the morning
