Flamingo-a-go-go ATC

Hi! Lisa here with a cute ATC to show you. I love making and trading ATCs, and digis are a fabulous resource for ATCers because they can be resized!

I used the flamingo, coloured him with Promarkers and then added a few swirls and flowers to brighten up the background. Quite often my ATCs have words or sayings on them, usually what's been in my head as I'm making the card up. For some reason, I kept singing Flamingo a go go, so that's what I ended up stamping!!!

If you want to know more about how I made this ATC, check out my blog.

Until next time!!

Celebrate 2011

Good Tuesday evening - Barb here - I wanted to share this sweet little elephant with you. Isn't she the sweetest thing - I guess today the elephant is a she - but it could be a boy also.

I printed the elephant on the printed alphabet paper and then printed it on the plain colored paper and cut it out. I then inked the elephant and glued him onto the alphabet paper. I had to color the toenails also.

I hope you enjoyed my card using this sweet image.

Have a wonderful evening.

Birthday Wishes

Hi Everyone!

It's Karin posting today and I hope your week is off to a great start. 

 I fully intended to use this cute image on one of my Christmas cards this year, but time, like time does, got away from me.  Luckily, these gifts are so cute and fun to color, they can be customized for any celebration at all. I chose to make it into a birthday card for a little boy who will be turning 6. 

With these colors being so bright and fun, I know that this will be a hit!

Thanks for visiting us at the blog and drop by the I Brake For Digis Store and pick up some digis for your projects.  It's never too early to get started on your crafting resolutions!

Freddie At His Best

Hey everyone.  I'm taking part in the Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper Challenge today and thought Freddie puckering up for a big kiss to the New Year was fitting don't you think?!?!  He's kissing away the old and bringing in the new.  I just love this little guy.

Have a great day!!

Happy New Year 2011

What better way to welcome the new year than with a baby card. The baby this card is for is one month old - so I am not too late getting it done. I now need to find a beautiful quote to put in it. I sure wish I remembered what quote I put in the card for the shower.

Isn't this buggy the sweetest image from I Brake For Digis - It is an image that could be colored but I loved the beauty of it just printed on the patterned paper. It is a beautiful vintage buggy so I wanted the card to be vintage. I do believe I achieved that.

Hint - if you have things that are white and you want them to be cream - don't throw away the coffee in the bottom of your pot - I just placed the paper doily and some of the lace in the coffee and got the color I wanted. The flower is made with coffee filters - yes - you guessed right - colored with coffee.

I hope 2011 is full of health and happiness for you and as a crafter/card maker - I hope 2011 is full of wonderful creativity and constant Mo Jo.

Dream Everyday Book Mark

Good Morning,

Today, I created a book mark using the Sun & Stars image found under the Celestial tab over on Ibrakefordigis.com.  I used my watercolor pencils to color the image and then applied platinum Stickles to the sun and stars for sparkle.

 Have a great day and a Happy New Year!

Rag Doll Card - I Brake For Digis

I love this rag doll image.  I didn't know what to do with it since I don't have very many children in my life, so I decided to just colour it and see what happens.  I ended up choosing yellows for my main colours because they always seem so bright and cheery.  And I love blue with yellow so that had to be my accent colour.  Its a rather plain card, but now that I have it finished, I have a whole bunch of new ideas that I could use this image for or with.  I'm thinking I could use it with some images of teddy bears and building blocks for a scrapbook page of my niece when she was a baby; I could use it with balloons and cakes for a birthday card;  the ideas just started coming once I actually used the image and saw it coloured.  So, if you see images in the shop and think that you wouldn't know what to do with them, I'll bet that once you do one thing with it - even if its something small or plain - it will give you all kinds of ideas for other projects with that image.  Here's my card with the Rag Doll image and I'm sure you'll see a few more projects with this image from me in the next little while.

Supplies
Stamps: Rag Doll (I Brake for Digis)
Papers: Daisy D's (patterned paper), cardstock (Bazzil, Wausau Exact Index 110#)
Tools & Embellishments: Ribbon (Dollar Store), Square Steps corner punch (EK Success), Floral Vine deep edge punch (Martha Stewart), copics

Talk to you later...

Cat 

Another Freddie card!

Well, why not? He is mega cute!!

 

I coloured Swinging around Freddie with Promarkers and then stippled the background lightly with a sponge and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I'm particularly in love with BIG flowers at the moment, so these gorgeous punched ones fitted the bill perfectly.

Swing by my blog to see more!

Freddie Rocks!

Hi Everyone!

It's Karin posting today here at the blog, and I just love this line of Freddie stamps that are available at the I Brake for Digis Store.

Isn't he just the cutest?  And there are loads of Freddies doing all kinds of things, so I know you will fall in love with one yourself!

I broke out my hand held stitching gizmo and did some messy sewing around the edges of my card to add texture.  As hard as I tried to make this into a guy card, I think with the scallops, ribbon, and the paper colors it will most likely end up going to a female. Oh well, such is the crafting life!

Pop on over to the I Brake for Digi Store to see this Freddie and all the rest!

Thanks for visiting us!

Roar!

My boy is 10 tomorrow. I have no idea how that happened, I'm sure he was only born a couple of weeks ago!!! Time flies, right? Here's his birthday card, on a whopper of an 8x8" card.

I used the Lion digi, coloured with Promarkers, then layered up and fixed with eyelets. Hope he likes it. For more info, check out my blog here.

Beautiful Love

Hi,

I was in a purple mood when I created this card using the Rose Post image.  I found this cute postage stamp under the Garden tab at I Brake for Digis.com.  I used my water color pencils to color in this image.  It gave the image subtle color.  Sending someone love is the best gift!

I hope you head over and use this image to send someone love!  Have a great night!

Downward Slide to Christmas

Christmas is coming very fast - are you ready - I am not ready - I am busy clearing and cleaning my house and cooking. My family will be here for Christmas dinner - it will be a smaller group than normal - of course - I will overcook - that is pretty normal for me. Don't want to run out of food.

Over the week end I did a little creating - needed that paper therapy - I have an online friend who is returning to school to work on her nursing degree - I wanted to make her a card to say "good luck" and yet be humorous. I thought the digital image "Go Team" - was fun - a little celebration and good luck all rolled into one card. I colored the image with Copics - love his or her colored shoes and socks.

Everyone have a wonderful evening. Stay warm and don't let the holidays stress you out.

Just Hangin Around

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin here, and since the last card I posted was a Christmas card, I thought I would show off a non- holiday card this time.  This card uses the Laundry stamp available at the I Brake For Digis store.  All I did was color it with some Copic markers to match the sweet girlie paper I had in my stash of stuff.  The flower embellishments that I added were also "hangin" around my craft area forever, so score a point for me

 for using up some stuff ;)

This mini clothes pin was a last minute addition.

Thanks for visiting the blog today and be sure to visit I Brake for Digis and buy yourself some digi stamps!
