FLOWER FRENZY AT DI’S DIGI DESIGNS!

Happy Saturday to all my crafty friends.  I’m back home since yesterday afternoon and still not feeling well, my head feels like it weighs 100 pounds, ugh!  At least it’s sunny and will be warmer today.

LITTLE BLUE BUTTON STAMPS - MY DT POST DAY

Happy Friday everyone!  Hope you are having an awesome day!   Today is my DT post day for LITTLE BLUE BUTTON STAMPS and I am showing off  Little Blue Button Stamps image "Rag Doll Sweetheart Shopping Day."  I love this gorgeous image and decided to go a bit against my normal style and create a shabby chic/vintage card.  I found the perfect patterned papers from First Edition and paired them with Core-dinations cardstock in complimentary colors.  I then cut my Copic colored image out with Lifestyle Crafts die and added a Cheery Lynn die cut frame behind it.  I added rumple ribbon from Lovebug Creations and found an awesome sentiment from a There She Goes clear stamp set.  All circles are cut with SU punches and I added soft Prima pearls below the sentiment to complete the creation.  Sure hope you like it!!

So sorry this post is a wee bit late today.  I am away with my family til tomorrow for my kids’ spring break, and I am not feeling too well – just a bad cold/sinus issue, but not 100%, which is a bit of a bummer.

We have a NEW CHALLENGE over at DELIGHTFUL CHALLENGES this week, so hope you will check that out!

 

I have a fun creation to share with you today for DIGITAL DELIGHTS BLOG Thursday showcase.  I have used DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP image/sentiment set “Color My World.”  I adore this sweet image – she was such fun to color with my Copics.  I combined all the images of this set with GIMP.  I cut out the sentiment with scissors, added My Mind’s Eye bling and colored with Copics.  I used Core-dinations CS and My Mind’s Eye DP, buttons from Bag O Buttons and rumple ribbon from Lovebug Creations (told you you’d be seeing more of it!)
