It's Digi Shack New Release Day!

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Big things going on over at the Digi Shack this week. Today is the start of some newly released images, and a week long event of great prizes, contest and giveaways. If you head over to the Digi Shack today, you can vote for the new design team name and get entered into a drawing for 3 brand new Lani images. She is a coconut drinking, Hula dancing,Surfer chic! Way cute!!!!! Head on over and check her out, and while you're their vote for the new DT and get entered to win Lani!

The card I am sharing with you today is not a new image, but a super cute one. The fairy is completely reminding me of myself today. I was away for the weekend, and had a anatomy and physiology lab practical last night, a statistics final at 8am this morning, and I have a HUGE anatomy and physiology final tomorrow night. I am wishing there was a magic wand for me right now, but NOTHIN! So, there was no time for me to make a card with the new images, but I can't wait to play. One more day and I am FREE!!!!!


On my close up, I tried to capture a few of the elements I used on this card. First, I got this really cool new cloud maker template, so I had to try it out, and I LOVE IT! I also cut of the fairy to make her look like she was floating on the clouds (I love to cut), and last but not least, I added stickles to ger wings and eyelashes. It is hard to catch it in a photograph, so I hope you can see it. I also tinted the fairies hair blue (need I explain).

Well, I am off to study, drive my daughter to gymnastics and then to the library to study some more. I know if I stay home I will get nothing done. The only word anyone in my house knows is MOM! well, have a great day and I am hoping to post some new releases on Thursday after school is over!

My Mojo Is Back (I hope it stays)

This weekend 9 of my friends and I headed up to Vermont for a scrap booking/stamping weekend at a bed & Breakfast. What a fabulous time we had, There was lots of laughs, stories, singing, and a little bickering (hahaha). It was so nice to get to share ideas, and play with each others stamps. It was a fantastic time and I can't wait to go again.

Well, While I was there, I think my Mojo returned. It started of slow, but it came back to me. I hope it stays (hehehe). I truly believe the stress of school is what sent my mojo out. Well, 3 finals this week and I am FREE!!!!!

The card you see here is one I did this weekend. I borrowed this stamp from Mary and decided I love it. These Sugar Nellie's are so cute and great to work with.

This is 0ne of 6 cards I made while I was away. So stay tuned for more cards and some big news! Have a fabulous day and happy creating!

Digi Sheck color combo challenge

Wow, two cards in one day. I am on a roll. to bad I have lost my Mojo. Have any of you seen it? I am not feeling so creative lately. I feel like I am in a rut. Do you ever get like that, and if so what do you do to get out?

Digi Shack is hosting a color combo challenge today. The colors: Going gray, summer sun, and certian celery. I don't have those colors in DP, so I used what I had that was close. I used this super cute new image (birthday Ellie)from the Digi Shack. If you're not farmilar with digi images, you should give them a try. My favorite thing with the images is the fact that I can make the image any size I want. I tend to like larger images, so this is perfect. If I want to print on pattern paper, that works too. Digi shack will be having a new release on in the beginning of May. I can't wait to see what Toni has up her sleeve! If you get a chance, get out the Digi Shack DT's blogs and see what they did with the challenge. When uploading to SCS please use TDSC02 as your keyword, so we can find your card. Happy creating!

Three Clovers Thursday challenge

Happy Thursday all. one more day till the weekend. Any big plans? I have a christining, and Homework to do. I am in my last 2 weeks of school. I will Studying for finals as well. The weather here in NH is supposed to reach 80. Can you believe it. It hasn't been abpve 60 yet and now we are going straight to 80.

Today, Kerry's challenge is a Animal theme challenge. I love animals, and I have a ton of animal stamps, so you would have thought that this would have been easy, but I struggled. I wanted the card ti be PERFECT! I dug through my High Hopes stamps and decided to go with the pig, and then I couldn't find a layout I wanted to use. So, Where do you go when you are struggling for ideas? Splitcoaststampers. I am across a card by Artfully Ila, and decided I would use one of her cards for inspiration. So, my result was this card. I feel pretty happy with the results. What do you think?

If you get a chance, hop on over to Kerry's Blog and join in the fun. The three clovers inspiration team has some great samples of the challenge they did, so take a peek.

Whachadoin Wednesday challenge #37-Same but different

Happy Wednesday All. Are you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday? You know what Wednesday means..... Whachadoin Wednesday challenge with SU INK. The challenge today was to make 2 cards the same, same layout, same stamp, but different. It can be whatever you would like. So, when I made my cards for the challenge, I also incorporated MJ's sketch challenge. Woo Hoo, two challenges in one. Love it!!!

My first card was made using "Rain, Rain Go Away" by SU INK. I paper pieced he boys rain suit and colored the rest. I kinda like how the mud turned out in the puddle. Does it look like mud?





My second card, using same sketch different materials, was made using SU INK's "Welcome To The Zoo" set. When I made this card, I had a friend's baby in mind, so I went with that. I did end up using blue and yellow on both cards. This card ended up being more on the simple side than I am used to. I am not good at SIMPLE!

Well, that is it for today. I am have tickets to the RED SOX game tonight, but the weather is not looking to good. It poured all day yesterday, and was nice this morning, but now it is starting to get really dark. I sure do hope it holds out.

If you get a chance, hop on over to the SU INK blog and check out the rest of the sample from the design team. They are all so creative. Have a great Wednesday and pray for sun for me.

Stamps: SU INK, and sentiment by AMUSE.
