Stampin' In Alaska

It's another week of sharing with Sassy Cheryl and the ladies!  Every week Cheryl asks us to share what we have going on in our lives.  It's easy, fun AND you might win a free Sassy Cheryl image.  Check out the details HERE and join the fun! I am finishing up my Thanksgiving cards for family and friends this week.  All of my cards are different and I'm making almost 30 this year!  Whew!  I knew I would have to create something with Cheryl's " What's Up Turkey? " image when it hit the shop.  I had the image colored and on my desk so I combined it with today's sketch challenge on SplitcoastStampers.  Sassy Sally has been colored with Copic markers.  A few polka dots were added to the dress with dimensional fabric paint.  Tim Holtz Glossy accent was added to the turkey eyes and feet for a little dimension.  The sentiment is from Create with TLC and called " Stuffed to the Brim ". Thanks for stopping by to take a closer look!...

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to a new Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge.    Before I get to this week's challenge, I just want to let you know that November is a special month for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  SNSS is celebrating their 5th birthday this month and there are lots of special things planned all month long.  Be sure to visit the Sweet 'n Sassy store for a list of all scheduled events.  There are daily giveaways on the SNSS Facebook Page and in the SCS Member Company Forum .  Stop by often...you won't want to miss a thing!

Happy Wednesday!  We've made it half way through the work week!  Yippee! Tonight I am sharing two challenge cards that I have completed this week.  The first is for the Jellypark Friends challenge blog .  The challenge this week is "Back to Nature".  I used a Jellypark digital image called "Tree with bunting and bird image".  It's such a sweet digital image and perfect for many occasions.  I am always in need of an Anniversary card so that's what I went with. I kept the design very clean and simple.  The image was colored with Copic markers, baker's twine and a sentiment were added. The second card is for this week's Sassy Cheryl's Digi Stamps Challenge - It's All about the Boys!  I used this sweet digital image from Cheryl's shop called " Bella's Flower ".  The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and baby oil.  I kept the card design clean and simple in keeping with the masculine theme. The fun senti...

Welcome to this week's Can You Digi It? challenge.  This week we are challenging you to create with your favorite animal.  The design team has outdone themselves this week and we have a zoo full of inspiration that you can check out HERE . I used " Duck Silhouettes " from AnnieJDesigns for this clean and simple card: I have combined the image with a perfect sentiment from Create With TLC .  This could be either a masculine or feminine birthday card.  I hope you are inspired and get a chance to play along.  The challenge is open until November 19 with a random winner receiving a $10 gift certificate to the CYDI? shop.

I'm back again to share with Sassy Cheryl and all of the "Sassettes".   I was the lucky winner last week and picked up one of the new Sassy Cheryl digital images.  You could be the lucky winner this week by just sharing a post of what's going on in your area of the world.  Check out the details HERE . This week I'm sharing a few photos from my recent trip to visit with family.  We drove down to Bentonville, AR to the new Crystal Bridges Museum .  The museum is sponsored by Wal-mart and contains lots of fabulous artwork.  Below are a couple of my favorites: Nick Cave Sound Suit 2010 There were also galleries full of traditional/classical art.  I took these photos in the Contemporary gallery.  It was a fun experience and the architecture of the museum was amazing. Thanks for stopping by and taking a closer look!  Hope you are having a fabulous and creative week!

It's Friday and time for another Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge !  This week the challenge is to use stitching, real or faux, on your project. I used " Rhubarbs Punkins digital Stamp "  by Sweet 'n Sassy.   Rhubarb and his wagon of punkins were colored with Prismacolor pencils and baby oil. A layer of Tim Holtz glossy accents was added to the punkins.  I added brads and a ribbon slide from a Stampin' Up! Hodgepodge Hardware collection.  The designer papers are from We R Memory Keepers paper pad. Just a few things to keep in mind as you play.... Please remember to use digital images ONLY for the challenge. ~You don't have to use SNS digi images to play along but we sure do love when you do! ~Please share a link to your creation using the Linky feature at the end of this post.
