Digi Kitty Monday Challenge #4

Hi there! It's time for the fourth Digi Kitty Monday Challenge. The theme for this week's challenge is "Hybrid Stamping" using a regular rubber stamp image and a digital stamp image (preferably a Digi Kitty one!)

Our sponsor this week is 123 Stitch. I used their Happy Birthday image for my card. Check them out, they have really cute rubber stamps. Also, check out the other DT blogs to see all of the wonderful Hybrid Stamping projects the girls did! 123 Stitch so generously donated a traditional clear polymer stamp for each of the Design Team members to use! They are also giving away a pre-chosen set of THREE gorgeous clear stamps to the WINNER of this week's challenge! Good luck!!!



I used a combination of CTMH and Bo Bunny cardstock; "Happy Bird-Day" Digi Kitty image; "Happy Birthday" 123 Stitch image; Copic markers; Stickles glitter glue; SU grosgrain ribbon; Spellbinders Nestabilities; Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots" embossing folder; and pop-dots for dimension.

Come back tomorrow, I'll have another fun card to share with you. Happy Monday!!!!

THE perpetual calendar...(lots of photos!)

As promised, I am sharing with you the awesome perpetual calendar I made this past weekend at the Julie Jane Paper Company. The pictures truly don't do the calendar justice. The wood is a cherry wood, but with the black backdrop for the photo, you really can't tell. (Sorry). The instructor had everything pre-cut and ready to go. The only thing I had to worry about was which patterned paper did I want on this particular month or this particular day. LOL! Decisions, decisions!

(This is the back of the calendar - where you store the extra months & days that aren't being used - clever, huh!)



(The month & dates are double-sided. Here is a view of both sides).


I had fun making this calendar. The ribbon, paper flowers & buttons really make the calendar home-spunny (if that is even a word!). You'll see that to the left of the actual date, there is a 4x6 pattern paper. (See, the very first photo). This is where you can put any picture or collage of photos. Like I said before, decisions decisions, because I still haven't decided on which picture to put there!

Hope you have a Terrific Tuesday! I'll be back tomorrow with more to share. In the meantime, head on over to Digi Kitty & take the Monday Challenge!

Digi Kitty Monday Challenge #3

Hi there! It's time for the third Digi Kitty Monday Challenge. The theme for this week's challenge is "Punch It" using a paper punch someway in your project.

Our sponsor this week is Scent My Cards, who will be giving away a Caramel Apple scent and a Pumpkin Pie scent to the lucky Punch It challenge winner. We have two guest designers joining us this week, Christi Hicks, who won the Digi Kitty Colors of Autumn challenge, and Linda Lucas, who is from Priscilla Styles. Don't forget to check out their projects, along with the rest of the Digi Kitty DT Members!



For my card, I used a combination of Recollections and CTMH cardstock; Copic markers; Digi Kitty Turkey; the sentiment is from the Michaels $1 bin; Leaf Paper Punch; Nestabilities; CTMH organdy ribbon; buttons from Wal-Mart; CTMH gold cord; Stickles glitter glue; and pop dots for dimension.

Come back soon, because I want to share with you the perpetual calendar I made over the weekend.

Happy Monday!!!!

Merry merry...

Happy Saturday! I just love the weekends!!!!

I made this card the other night and just got around to sharing it with you. I'm not sure if it's because I love Christmas or because it's a cute little girl stamp, or BOTH, but I just love this adorable Christmas girl! She's all bundled up for winter (hence the sentiment).



The stamp is a digi stamp from Pink Cat Studios and the sentiment is from the $1 bin at Michaels (gotta love that!). I used cardstock by CTMH, Bo Bunny, and a no-named glittered cardstock. The cool thing about this random glittered cardstock from my scrap drawer is it's peelable and can be placed on colored cardstock! How cool is that??? I love glitter and had SO much fun glittering up this card! I used my Copic markers; Stickles glitter; SU grosgrain ribbon; Nestabilities Spellbinders; and pop dots! This card was so easy-peasy to make. :-)

I'll be back soon to share with you an awesome calendar from a class I am taking this afternoon. Have a fabulous weekend!!!

Hang in there...

Helllllooooo~ :-)

I had so much fun with this card. This is a super-duper cute digi stamp from Pink Cat Studio called "Cuddles". I went through my big pile of scrap cardstock from left over projects & found some fun colors that went together. Not sure if you can tell, but the eyes are glassy from the CTMH Liquid Glass effect. I just recently bought my first set of Nestabilities and have had so much fun playing with them.

The cardstock is a combination of CTMH & Far and Away; Cuttlebug Stylized Flowers; CTMH organdy ribbon; the sentiment is from the $1 bin at Michaels; and I used SU paper punches.

I'll be back soon with another creation! Have a fabulous Thursday (the week is almost over.....woo hoo!!!!)
