Rose by Austin Owens

Hello! I bet you are thinking 'What ? That's not a rose!"

 You would be right! This gerbera daisy digi is from

 a set by Austin Owens for Clear Dollar Stamps called "Rose" .

 I just love this simple daisy. So fun to work with!

I hope you will pop over Clear Dollar Stamps

Clear Dollar Stamps Monthly Blog Hop

Welcome! 

It's time for Clear Dollar Stamps monthly blog hop!

 This month's theme was Sentiments ONLY.

Did you get here from Jerusha's blog? 

If not click here to start from the very beginning!

For my card I used a sentiment from the set

"Are we there yet?' Love this set with all the travel themed digis!

I used some distress ink to color the oval using the direct to paper technique. 

Background paper is from Pebbles.

From here I will send you off to

Angela's Blog!

Enjoy  her beautiful creation!

Over the moon.........

Hello! 

Today's card uses a digi from 

Doodle Pantry called Crescent Moon Ants.

I think this would make such a cute baby card!

I colored with colored pencil and blended with mineral spirits.

Background paper is from Basic Grey.

Thanks for stopping!

Have a great day!

Digi Release day for Clear Dollar Stamps!

Always one of my favorite days of the month!

 Release day!! CDS has some fun new digis!!

The first set I will be sharing with you comes

 from our newest designer Austin Owens!

This set is called Back to School. AWESOME school themed digis!!

For this card I just repeated the crayon image and colored with Tombow markers.

The sentiment was computer generated.

Card # 2 uses the same set, just with the pencil image:

Same as above only using the pencil instead.

Card #3 features another of Austin's set. This one is called "Rose".

I used the Gerbera Daisy from the set. LOVE Gerbera Daisies!!!

Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge #7

Hello and welcome to my blog!

 I am hosting the CHF challenge this week! 

My theme is Animals.

For my card I used the digital image

 582D - All Ears Dog.

Doesn't he just look like he's waiting to hear his favorite word - "walk".

I had some dog park themed paper in my stash that I thought

 worked perfectly for this cute little guy! 

I used my banner die from Whimsy stamps and

 my alphabet from My Favorite Things.

Back to School with Eureka Stamps!

Hello and welcome to my bi-weekly 

challenge post for Eureka stamps! 

This week the theme is Back to School.

 Eureka has such a fun assortment

 of teacher themed digis - 

I had a blast making cards with them!

You can join in this challenge at

 Feline Playful. I hope you will join in the fun!

Here is my card for today:

This is a 4" square card.

 I used the digital image

Big Improvement Elephant.

I colored the image with colored pencils 

blended with mineral spirits.

Thought this would be a cute little card for

 a teacher to give to a student!

Back to School challenge!
