Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you a card I made with the awesome new set from  Color ink digi stamps - When the scrap hits the fun .  It's been forever since I last did a card for that DT ;o)  Marion has been busy moving!  So very happy to be able to showcase some of her work again. I'm using for this card the very cute Peter Sitting on books.  The sentiment is Books also from that set.  Just perfect for a little school card.

Good evening everyone!  I have another card to share with you with a really awesome image from the fabulous  Marion .  This time I'm using the amazing Reindeer color.  You can find it here . Such a great image for those fast Christmas cards... the ones that you should have, would have, could have but didn't  do yet lol For this card I used some paper from American Craft - Jolly.  I used my classic Square for the cutting of the digi and the paper underneath.  The ribbon is from my stash.  I also added some snowflake buttons on top of the ones that were drawn... just for some added dimension. I used some brushed corduroy distress ink on the sides of the digi and sentiment.  I used some red stickles for his nose. I added the wonderful sentiment also from  Marion . For this card I followed an awesome sketch: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Sunday sketch and stamp  - Sketch Whoopsi Daisy  - Christmas Deep ocean challenge  - So t

Good evening everyone!  No I'm not feeling blue... even if I am quite tired and really looking forward to the weekend!  The day was super busy with meetings and then the teacher parent conference for my 2 youngest.  But they got good grades so all is good! So why then you ask the title... well the image that I'm using is called Blue part of the Mary in Stocking set, it's from Marion and can be purchased here .  Totally adorable it comes colored in blue or red and uncolored.  I chose for my card the blue version!  Totally love that it's all ready to go for a quick and beautiful card. So since the image was really wonderful I didn't do much... I used some leftover papers I really love when I can do that.  I added the wonderful sentiment that comes from one of Marion's fabulous set.  Some ribbon and pearls purchased at the dollar store.  That's it! Here's a closer look at the digi: To make this card I followed this sketch: I'm ente

Hello Everyone!  So today I was in a meeting all day... tomorrow and Thursday as well... but tomorrow there's a supper as well so no crafting time so today as soon as I got home I just had to play a bit.  And since I didn't  have much time I decided to play with one of the amazing images from Marion at When the scrap hits the fun and your can purchase the images here . Here's my card: I used paper from DCWV called Winter magic.  I used my classic long rectangle and label 21 from spellbinder.  I used a cuttlebug embossing folder.  I added some felt snowflakes and some Robin's Nest dew drops. Here's a closer look at the digi that's the precolored version!  So fun for fast or repeat cards! Here's the set that this digi comes from   or  Aren't they just wonderful?!?

Goodmorning everyone!  Hope you are all feeling better than I am.... my head is all stuffed up still... and I really didn't  sleep well.  I'm really exhausted.  Looking forward to the upcoming weekend to staying in pjs and sleeping! This morning I'm sharing a little card that I made using some of the wonderful new digis from  When the scrap hits the fun .  I went the really lazy route and used the wonderful precolored image to create my card. The paper underneath the digi is also from the wonderful new digi set.  I added some paper from Basic Grey - Nordic Holiday.  I punched some snowflakes with my cm punch and added some bling to them. Here's a closer look at the wonderful digi: And here is the sentiment that also goes with the set: Here's a look at the wonderful set that you can get from  When the scrap hits the fun .  You should go and check it out!

I hope you all had a wonderful Sunday!  I got to see my dad for lunch with the family.  It was great fun.  We don't see each other enough... we leave 2 hours apart... And well... life just gets in the way.  So having this opportunity was great fun!  I miss him lots! Tonight I want to show you a card that I made using one of the wonderful creations made by  Marion from When the scrap hits the fun .  She's such a talented artist!  She did a new set recently and if you haven't seen it you really really should go and check it out! To make this card I used the Butterfly image not colored this time and one of the wonderful sentiments.  I used paper from My mind's eye - happier.  I used classic squares, standard circle, scallop circle and foliage dies from Spellbinder (yes I should really really own shares of the cie lol).   I added a little butterfly charm from my stash (BTW if you want to join in to the giveaway there's still time :D)  Only 18 entries... so the

For Jen's blog hop click here. It's Friday!!!!  TGIF!!!  Don't know about you but I'm sure glad that the week is over!  Kids were starting school this week with tons of papers to fill out. It was my month end week and I also have a ton of presentation to do for the budget.... still will be a long day... but at least a long weekend is in view!  It's labor day on Monday so 3 days off!  And I'm so lucky that I get to play around with wonderful digis and craft.  I'm telling you this is what is keeping me sane ;D or almost sane rofl! Today I'm get to showcase a card that I made using some of the wonderful artwork from Marion from  When the scrap hits the fun . She has a wonderful new set of digis for sale and they are totally adorable.  Here's the digis And here are the sentiments: They are so adorable don't you think?!? I just love the way the precolored lady bug looked so that's the one that I used for my card.  Plus I got to

Let me count the waves!

Where to start... today was a really hard day... the notice of my MIL passing came out at work... and people started to come over to offer their sympathies and to ask me what had happened.  So all through the day I was reminded of the fact that she is no longer there. She was such an inspiration for me.  I used to love talking about my craft with her.  That was a special bond that we had the 2 of us.   She had a big family (6 kids - 3sons, 3 daughters, 15 grandkids and 3 great grandkids) but I was the only one that really liked to craft as much as she did.  So the idea that I will never be able to share that with her again really made my heart ache. I decided to do a card for her.  Since I have the wonderful opportunity to design for  When the scrap hits the fun  before leaving on vacation Marion send me a wonderful set of digis to play with.  And it just happens that the sentiment was perfect for how I was feeling!!!!  The images that I played with are Sea Turtle (not colored) and

So very lucky

I've been truly blessed ever since I started this blog.  I've been able to join wonderful design teams!  And this weekend I learned 2 wonderful news. The 1st is that I'm now a member of the OSAAT blog!  I'm so very excited.  For those following my blog I've been participating in a lot of their amazing challenges and actually won 3 times ;)  Now I won't  be the winner so I hope that you will take my place!  But I'll be creating still with their wonderful digis. My other wonderful news is the reason for this post.  I had communicated with the artist at  When the scrap hits the fun .  I don't know if you are familiar with her work.  I used one of her awesome digis on the post here .  She was looking for people to design with her artwork.  And I made the team!!!!  WOW so very excited.  I hope that what you see from me will make you want to go and check out her digis and encourage her to continue. Here's my card: As you know I'm crazy these

Sweet Treats

Ok so the last post that I did about cake... I really wanted to enter the challenge at Digi Haven... but then I realized that the awesome digi that I got was no longer a freebie... only the sentiment.  So I went and made another card lol just any excuse to make  a card! The beautiful digi can be found here:  Beary wishes  it's called Sweet treats mouse.  I used my big scalloped squares to cut out the digi and the paper underneath.  I used six by six from my mind's eye  paper (all the dp) and some basil cardstock (pink and the black).  I used my EK border punch to cut out the little border.  Here's a closer look at the image: I colored her with my copics and added star dust stickles to the frosting on the cake.  Here's the cute sentiment that went with it: I followed this great sketch: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Sweet stop sketches  - sketch The paper shelter  - dies/punches (I used both in this card) Digihaven  -

Cake for Canada Day

Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends and followers!  Today I was busy enjoying the pool and preparing our camping trip.  So we pack the camping trailer.  It's starting to smell like vacation time!!!!  It's good that I can rest tomorrow as well.  I hope that I get a bit more crafting...  Last night I made 4 cards... but can't show them yet ;) So this is the card that I made this afternoon. I used a doily under my image from some package that I've had forever.  I used my scallop circle and the regular circle for the sweet image.  She comes from  When the scrap hits the fun , the sentiment is still a freebie but for the image you had to have registered for her e-mail.  I colored her with my copics.  The paper is from Lime Twist - my mind's eye.  I used some ribbon that I had already.  And the little right hand corner at the bottom it's a little metal corner piece that I had purchased at a dollar store. I followed this sketch: I'm entering
