New Challenge Blog...Show Your Digi Love

There's a new challenge blog I would like to introduce to you!

The name is Show Your Digi Love and it's all about using your "stash" of digis (yeah, I know you have them! ;p ) to show some appreciation to the artist, maybe meet some new ones and to just have some digi FUN!

So....wanna play? 

Here is my card with the digis I chose to showcase this month

from the very talented Zoe of Make it Crafty.

Meet Gnomey Drew and his Happy Daisies

He is colored with Copics.

For all of the information on this month's challenge 

pop on over to the blog and check it out!

While you're there, take a gander at all of the fabulous images that the DT have used for some Digi Inspiration...you will be blown away and you never know, you may just discover a new artist or image that you just HAVE to add to your "stash". 

(shhhhh...I won't tell if you don't ;D)

Until next time, I wish you a blessed and creative day!

Day of the Dead Blog Hop

Unlike Halloween, Di De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a day of remembering our loved ones that have departed.  Many families celebrate by visiting their loved ones by spending the day at their burial site, or hosting parties in their homes. 

If you have come over from Chris's blog, then you are on the right track...if you happen to have just stopped by, then please head back to Betty's blog and enjoy all of the fabulous creations that the entire DT have done as well as the guest DT.

Here are my contributions:

13 Days of Halloween - BOO did I scare you?

The  annual 13 Days of Halloween are in full swing over at the Simply Betty Stamps blog and here is my share / challenge for the day:

A pop-up box card using Mummy London from the Teen Scene Halloween collection at Simply Betty Stamps. 

I made / designed a box card file and used my Silver Bullet Professional electronic cutter to cut it and all but the flowers and poison sign for this card. I had so much fun coloring this image and believe it or not, I used my drawing pencils to color her - haven't pulled those things out since a few years after high school! It was so much fun to play with them again.

Here are a couple more pics with 1 showing the semi-closed / side view and another showing more of a top view. 

I hope this has inspired you to play along with us!

My wish for you is a blessed and creative day!

Until later,

Happy Birthday Emily!!!!

Emily Shroom of our Simply Betty DT is having a birthday today and we all want to wish you 

the most fantastic birthday ever!!!

here is the card I created for Emily with the digi that Betty drew 

especially for Emily's birthday
