Cattail Pond

This is my favorite scenery digital from Doodle Pantry, I colored it with a mix of KOH-I-NOOR pencils for the small areas and Copics. The window and curtains are a Spellbinders from Our Daily Bread that I could not pass up at the Collinsville Convention this past summer, my Christmas card is planned around it but of course I could not wait until then to use this die cut!

I am entering it in the monthly Doodle Pantry Challenge DPDC 28, lots of amazing designs.

A Boy and His Frog

This Digital Image is from The Digi Garden and I placed him  on a Zig Zag Accordian card, pattern from Technique Junkie's Fancy Folds CD. Pumpkin is k&i Memories. How do you like his overalls?  I used a piece of burlap with Copic Blender fluid to get the burlapy look, I need to experiment with it more, not exactly what I wanted but fun. Denim material is great for the blue jean look.  I have more Halloween cards to show later.  I enter this cutie in:

Digi Garden: Customer Challenge Three: Autumn Colors

Triple Time Stamp Technique - Girl's Day

Last but not least!! This is Shirley's card.  This is triple time stamp.  You stamp all the white layers (except the saying) at one time and then layer it.  Isn't it gorgeous!

Two Step Stamping - Girl's Day

This is Pat's card, or Patti J. as you may know her.  This is a great technique - Pat does it have a name?  I made this name up.  You stamp with the wrong side of a clear stamp - yes the wrong side, for a solid image.  Then you turn the clear stamp over to the right side and stamp in black and it just pops!!  What a dynamic card! Quick and easy too. Okay now we have the real technique name: Two Step Stamping.  I just love learning new techniques, you can do so much with them.  

Copic's on Embossing - Girl's Day

This was my mom's card.  We stamped in white pigment ink, embossed with white embossing powder and then colored with Copic Markers.  What a fun technique.  My Mom will be 83 in December and is an awesome stamper (and Mom)!! Thanks for hosting our stamping day at your house mom!

Zig Zag Accordian Card - Girls Stamping Day

Monday was girls day out.  My mom, our friends Shirley and Pat, and I each brought a project to my mom's house who lives in the middle and made the cards, chatted, had lunch and just had a wonderful girls day.  This was my project, a zig zag accordian card, a pattern I got from Technique Junkie's Fancy Folds and Motion Pater Craft CD.  Everyone's project was fabulous.  I will post all of them over the next few days!

This little bird is precolored by Doodle Pantry.  Their precolored images make a quick and easy card.  Of course I enjoy coloring there regular images too, very relaxing but occasionally a quick easy card is needed or you just want a quickly completed project for that nice feeling.
