NEW DIGI'S~

Here are four NEW digital stamps, just in time for Valentine's. I printed out these digis and put them with treats. Please visit my other blog to see ideas of what to do with these stamps.

Crafting with the Cricky

My dear hubby got me a cricut for my birthday, and I have been spendign the past month collecting even more cartridges. At first, the Preserves cartridge did not impress me. Sure, I thought it was cute, but it really did not jump out as a "I GOTTA HAVE THAT!" kinda thing... until I saw this cute creation on Splitcoast. Of course, Jo-Ann's had it on sale, so I grabbed it.

After creating with this cartridge, I had to have some sentiments to go with it, so here they are! A *BRAND SPANKIN NEW* collection from Say It With Stamps by Jen called "Fruit Salad." This collection of 9 digital stamps is available now in the shop.

Thanks for sticking with us!

a salute to the red, white, and blue

Here's a card I made for a red, white, and blue swap on Splitcoast Stampers. The instead of using the pledge digital stamp as a background, I brought it to the forefront as the focal image.

2 NEW digi stamps!

Here's TWO new digi-stamps that I whipped up for ya tonight. I am working on some invites and such for our annual summer bbq on July 4th. I'll try to post final pics of my projects, but in the mean time, enjoy these digi's, and please share your pics with us.

Steve miller band inspired

I LOVE the DCWV Animal Crackers paper stack, and used many of those paper to create my valentine cards nad projects. While looking at soem of my creations, this song kept popping in my mind, ya know, the one by Steve Miller Band--

Jungle Love, it's driving me mad,
It's making me CRAZY!

Anyways, as always, if you use anything from the blog or the shop, please link back to it. I am working on a background to post later this week too.

Valentine button holes

Here's a new button hole in time for your valentine creations. I created this button hole to use on a card I have in mind for my DD, as I call her my little monkey. Enjoy, and remember to post a link back to this blog.

Oh, and Dustin Pike, Inktegrity, and many more have some digis that will go PREFECT with this button hole

getting fancy

For some reason, the font did not come through on the last image I posted, so here it is again, with the fancy "Santa's Sleigh" font that I like so much.

Polar Express-ion

i LOVE the book The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg, and created this digi-migi to go with a gift I created for each student in my room based upon the text, which we read A LOT in my room.

On another note, I am still creating, and the shop is still open, however, I cannot keep up with all the demands of my other job, moving, and everything else in my life, so here's what I am proposing: I will just post freebies on this blog, and if something SPECTACULAR, AMAZINGLY AWESOME otherwise happens so I can create on a full time basis, I will go back to selling in the shop.

In the meantime, snatch up the freebies here, thank you for all your support and patience with me!

I created this page with a Digi-stamp from the store. I used the "Dance like no one is watching" digi, but cut off the top portion and just used the bottom to finish out the title. I love these sweet pics of my DD as a "Flower Princess" at a dear friend's wedding 3 weeks ago. It was a wonderful day, the bride was stunning, the only thing I would change is for Karsyn and I to not be ill, sicne we were both on the mend with nasty sinus infections.

TRICK or TREAT!

Happy Haunting to all you! My sweet little DD decided to be a witch this year for Halloween, so these 2 freebies are inspired from her. Click to each on to download, the buttonhole and digi-migi are yours for free! All I ask is that if you create something, please link it back to here. Thanks!

A creation from Kelly

Check out this card by Kelly Landers over at My Bucket Overfloweth! I love how she used the background stamp , then covered it with leaves. And how about that trick with the twine and ribbon?

Ok, now I've got to get back to cleaning the house after posting this FREAKIN AWESOME CAREATION!

A Double Take!

This little lovely is for Sweet Sketch Wednesday's Sketch 15 Double Take. This week Arlana posted 2 sketches, and this is the only one I can get to work for me right now. I have some adjustments to make to the other sketch before I can say I am thrilled with my work.

This digi is available in the shop, and probably one of my top 5 favorite quotes from Emily Bronte. Thanks for looking!
