Happy Holidays Crafty Friends!

I am excited to share with you my card featuring Penguins Lottie and Tillie from Digi Doodle Studios.  They look like they are having so much fun on their sled.  I used to love to go sledding as a child and then had fun taking my boys out when they were young.   

After coloring the image with copics, I added some white fun flock to their hat trim for a little texture.  I painted the snowflake with extreme glitter paint and then added some extra fine glitter for additional sparkle.  All the pattern papers I used for this card are from the Winter Plaids N Patterns collection from Digi Doodle Studios.

Hello Crafty Friends!

I just love this little sheriff from Mo's Digital Pencil.  Isn't he cute?

Midnight Prancer Digi Doodle Studios

Happy November Crafty Friends!

I can't  believe it's already November! 

Are you ready for Christmas?  My goal was to create a few Christmas cards each month so I would be ready to mail them out at the end of this month.  I think I am going to meet my goal.

Today also starts a new challenge at Digi Doodle Studios Challenges.  The theme is always Anything Goes so you have a chance to enter with your holiday creations. I can't wait to see what you create.

For this Christmas card I used Midnight Prancer from Digi Doodle Studios.  Over the years we have had 3 Labrador Retrievers. All three were either rescues or dogs that were dumped by their first owners.  We have loved each of them because they are simple the best dogs ever!  I colored this image to look like the yellow lab we had while our boys were young.  Her name was Candy and we miss her like crazy.  She was so sweet and gentle and was the best protector of all my kids.

Free Hugs and Pumpkins Digi Doodle Studios

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I get to share with you my project using Free Hugs and Pumpkins from Digi Doodle Studios.  Fall is my favorite time of year so this was a fun image to color. Because there was so much in the image, I kept the card design simple.  Of course I couldn't pass up using some of the pretty fall pattern paper in my stash. I just can't resist pattern paper.
