The child inside loves to color

Good evening my friends.  How did your weekend turn out?  I had a great one.  Got to spend time with my kids and grand kids.  And was lucky to squeeze in some craft time while I was babysitting my grand daughter Isabella.  We both colored!  I let her use my Crayola colored pencils while I colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.
I created 2 cards.  I used stamp sets I got from Crafters Companions web site.  
I also used stamps from Close to my Heart as well as the inks,  and card stock..Thistle, Flaxen and Saddle were the colors used in card one.


In card 2 I used scraps from my big scrap box, twine, purple bling from Hobby Lobby, as well as stamps and inks from Close to My Heart. 



Thanks for looking!!  have a good night :)

coloring Digis

Happy Saturday everyone!!  I have been making cards all day today, I had a few special orders to get done and a post for a Design Team I am on.  But, where I have not posted for a few days, (been busy with a real sick hubby) I thought i woud share a couple of cards I made during the week to unwind,

The Digital stamps come from a realese at Treasured Times Rubber Stamps.  I won 13 of them and they are all so different and adorable and fun.  Coloring is so relaxing..a new fun addition to my card making. It of course is a littlerough around the edges right now, but practice practice, right?

I used a ribbon from Michaels and a felt flower.


this is how I stamped the inside



here is a close up of the lil bug..I used Stickles on his wings, after all  a Bug's gotta dress up for new years!!  I used my Promarkers and some of the yellow shade markers from Spectrum Noir. I am new at the shading thing.  I still need a LOT of practice, but having fun doing it.

You really should go over to Jen's Digi Stamps store and browse around, her digis are fun and cute I love them....Go On..what are you waiting for?????? Oh yeah a link..Duh :)  here it is.  Also had over to the blog and get in on the challenge!!
