Digital Delights-Delightful Wednesday- Gold and Silver

Hello my fellow crafters,
Today starts a new color theme for the month of November where Sheena and I stick with the color/colors and share with you what we made using these colors. Since Christmas is right around the corner I chose "Gold and Silver".
This image is called"Christmas flower Daffy". If you would like to see what she looks like colored on the image, you can find her here. I just think she is beautiful. So dressed up for Christmas, which happens to be my favorite holiday! :) Actually, it is my favorite time of the year too! The weather is a bit cooler, not really freezing yet, which is nice.
Anyways, that's it for today!
Hugs, and happy crafting!
Sandy.

Supplies-
Martha Stewart- Floral Lace
Spellbinders- Floral Ovals

My Besties Color It Create It Show It Off

Happy November! :)

I have good news, I am now a part of the My Besties- Color It Create It Show It Off Challenge Blog DT. The My Besties UK starting January is going all UK.

This image is one of the "Fluffies"from My Besties called IMG006 Fluffy Cafe. She is amazing! I just love her sitting back relaxing drinking her Star Bucks coffee. ;) It could be hot cocoa, where ever your imagination takes you too. :)
I wanted to see if I could make a Christmas card using a non Christmas digi. I think it worked, I hope you do too.
Here is another Christmas card using the same image. I printed her out two different sizes to give you different ideas on what you could do with her.
On the first card, I made the snowmen and the choir book freehand. The stamp is from Paper Inspirations called Art Brush Pine Tree.The music is from Cheery Lynn called, Notes #1. I have her sitting on  Spellbinders, Garden Bench. I colored her with my Copics, and added Stickles Crystal for the snow to finish of the card.

Supplies I used on the second card:
The Paper Studio- Elegant Christmas Trees (and scraps)
Cuttlebug- D'vine Swirls and Swiss Dots (embossing folders)
Couture Creations- Tied Together (embossing folder)
4 KlearStamping- Season's Greetings (stamp)
Memento- Tuxedo Black (ink)
Stickles- Crystal
Copics

Come share your cards/projects with us and enter the challenge at Color It Create It Show It Off. There is a chance of wining My Besties image/images depending on what place you place. We would love to see what you have made! :)

Hugs, and happy crafting!
Sandy.

My Besties UK- Same but Different

I am very honored  and thrilled to become a new member of the My Besties UK Design Team. Doing the happy dance. :)
This little cutie pie is IMG706. I just love her! Well, I probably can say that about all of Sherri Baldy Besties. For some of the butterflies, I used The Paper Studio, Coco & Pink Sm Polka Dot paper. The embossing folder I used is called Sizzix, Lines & Swirly Vines with Hearts.I broke out my Martha Stewart, Floral Lace punch, and the butterflies are from Poppy, Butterfly Buttons die. I colored her with my Copics, and added Bakers Twine to two of the butterflies. Pretty much, that's it.

Scrapbook Stamp Society

Hello my crafty friends!

I am excited to say I am now on the Besties DT for Scrapbook Stamp Society. :) I will be posting once a month on the 13th! I am very fortunate to be able to show you two cards that I made using two of the images that you are eligible to win at the SSSC blog for the month of October. At SSS there are so many wonderful creations by my fellow DT members. You should come over and check it out! Plus, they share crafting tips often.
For my first card, I am using IMG734. I just think she is as cute as can be.
 The card base is 4 1/2 x 6 1/2. I colored the image with my Copics. The bottom of her dress and her wings both are very sparkly. I actually broke out my Cricut for both of these cards I am showing today. I used the Happy Hauntings for the witch and tree on this card.
If you look at the image down below, you will notice that I did cut out the bats. It just wouldn't have looked right if I tried to add them.


For my next card, I am using IMG072. Isn't she a real beauty! :)
This is an easel card. The base is 5x5 when folded. I used the Cricut cartridge Life is a Beach for the flip flops, birds, and the life guard tower. Oh, and the sand bucket and shovel too. I used the Cuttlebug folder Swiss Dots to emboss the sand to give it some texture. She is colored with my Copics also.

For the tip of the day, always keep a white gel pen next to you just in case you ever go out of lines while coloring. ;)

Go check out all the new release images if you haven't already!
