When Pigs Fly...

It's New Release Day over at DZ Doodles! Diane has so many wonderful images for you to create your holiday cards...get on over there and take a look! When I was approached with the winged Santa pig, I thought...okay...I'll give it my best shot. Well, here he is...aptly named When Pigs Fly. I've used this card sketch before and thought I'd pull it out once again. I printed the image a couple of times, so I could cut out the wings to add some dimension. The wings get their sparkle from a dusting of Dazzling Diamonds. Click on the image to enlarge it to see the details. I used a scallop edge punch to create the border on the New Leaf cs and then I used my Crop-a-Dile to punch the holes in the scallops. I think the little fella is really cute and look, he's smiling at you!

Trick or Treat

In honor of Digital Scrapbook Day, I am sharing our Halloween layout. It's really really simple, but it tells the story and that's the whole reason we scrap, right?

I used so many kits to create this, I didn't keep track. It felt good to digi-scrap again. My Photoshop has been mis-behaving. Now I can get back to my Project 365! Stay tuned...

Thanks for stopping by...Have a wonderful weekend.

Sweet Penguin

I have another DZ Doodles digital image card to share with you today...this sweet penguin. Isn't he adorable? There are a few other penguin images offered on the site, so stop by and take a look. This card was very quick and easy to make and I chose not to put a sentiment on it, so I could use it for Christmas or to send a winter greeting to someone. I colored the little guy with Copics and cut him out with oval Nesties. The snowflakes were created using a Versamark pad, Stampin' Ups Iridescent Ice embossing powder, a Sizzix punch and a piece of scrap card stock. Easy peasy. I made several of them in just minutes.

Supplies-card stock:Georgia Pacific white. True Black(PTI). paper:Mistletoe Kisses(Daisy Bucket). digital image: Penguin A(DZ Doodles). other:Oval Nesties, both classic and scallop(Spellbinders). snowflake punch(Sizzix). Iridescent Ice EP(SU!). Copic Markers. ribbon from my stash.

Thanks for the visit. I hope you come back again. Until next time....

Candy Corn Wreath

When I saw this image at DZ Doodles, I knew I wanted to work with it. I love candy corn and I only eat it around this time of year. I like to get a big bag of it and a jar of peanuts and then mix them together. I put them into little harvest bags and give them to my friends. I also keep a big stash for myself in a candy dish on my desk. I have my friend Judi to thank for that bad habit. :-)

On to my card...I've got a few things working here that I want to bring to your attention. Candy corn is candy corn so I couldn't go too wild with the colors on my digital image, but I did cut it out and emboss it with square Nesties. I colored the image with Copics and some of the stars got a touch of sparkle from Spica glitter pens. The orange card stock was embossed with my Cuttlebug and a Pumpkin Harvest embossing folder. I also outlined the embossing with a clear Sakura Gelly Roll glitter pen. I like that pen for outlining because it has a nice big tip, so it covers a lot of space with little effort. I like the sparkle it gives to the card stock, kind of wakes it up a bit. I finished it off with a sweet sentiment and some Plum Pudding ribbon from PTI.

New Releases from DZ Doodles!

Diane is sharing some new digital images today! I chose to make a Christmas card this time around. Make sure to stop by DZ Doodles to see all of the fun new images and check out the DT Gallery, too for lots of inspiration. I really liked the way my card turned out. I hope that the focal image shows as a rich cream color on your monitor, because it's very close in color to DP that I used. On my monitor it looks light cream.
