Summer

Whoooo hooooo!! It's summer time here in Alaska! My last day of school was the 19th. I am excited for the break. 

I dug through my Mom's colored images again and found Fluffy Sunshine Girl. She is perfect for my summer time mood. 

My Mom colored her with Copic markers. 

I decided I would practice my bubble letters for the title. I still need lots of practice! 

I embossed my card by using a background stamp of paint splatters. I love the look of embossing powder. 

Thank you for popping in to see my card. I hope you are enjoying the sun wherever you are. 

Hugs,

Thinking of You

More often than not, I design all of my projects using my Silhouette software, then cut it out with my Cameo. I have a great visual of what my project will look like in the end.  This card was not different, except I ran into problems with the machine.  It could be the new update, or it could be my machine was just rebelling against me and wanted the night off.  So I took a different approach with this adorable little troll. 

I colored this image with Photoshop.  I was looking for something very specific and knew that my coloring talents were not there yet.  So digital coloring it was for this pretty little lady.  Not quite the look I was going for with her hair, but I love how her dress turned out

Now, because my machine was giving me grief, and wouldn't cut the papers and designs, I decided to go digital with my card.  Rather than creating a card with the image, I created a digital postcard.  Now, I can send a "Thinking Of You" message to a friend the day I know they need it most.  

I still did all of my designing with my software, but rather than do a print and cut, I did a print to PDF.  After than, I did a little magic in Photoshop and I have a fun, bright and colorful digital postcard I can send anytime I feel the need.  

A Happy Garden

Good Morning Everyone!!! 

I am back again with another fabulous image from the collection.  Sherri has so many wonderful designs that it is impossible to decide which one to create with each time I make a card.  This little doll is so  cute, and was so much fun to color.  I thought it very fitting for this time of year as many of us are getting our gardens planted and ready to go.

This little cutie I colored with Photoshop, with lots of spring colors.   How fun is that big sun hat with a big bow and lots of flowers?   As you know, I do not add a sentiment to my cards until I need them. This way, any card I make can be used for any occasion.  With Sherri's images, they are perfect for card and any occasion.  

Here is what I have done with this fabulous image.  

Thanks for stopping in today.  

Peek a Boo

Hi there,

It's my turn to share with you something I made. I decided to use this darling girl, Img963.
I just think she is absolutely adorable.

 For this card, I just made a regular card like I normally would. It's a 5x5 card base. Then I just added a second piece of paper, scored it, then used double sided tape to join the two pieces together. I had seen cards like this made, but never have found a pattern for it, so I basically had to figure it out. It really was a fun card to make. The front of the card base, I stamped a sentiment, but when you open up the card, I then have all the room in the world to be able to write what ever I want to say to the person I am giving it too. I think that's kind of clever also.
Anyway, if you would like more info on this card you can find it here.
Hugs, and happy crafting!
Sandy.
