February's Guest Designers

Lisa Jurecek will be with us this month and will be posting for us on Saturdays!

 I'm a wife and mother of three grown sons. I teach junior high history in a small town in South Texas. I'm currently working on a Master's in Library Science (I'm going to be a librarian). But when I'm not busy with school work, you can find me up in the Craft Loft playing with paper! I've been using digi stamps for about two years now and I just love them. Give me a cute digital image, my copic markers, and some great papers and I'm in the happy zone! So I'm absolutely thrilled to be serving as a guest designer for SNS using some awesome images I just can't wait to show you!

Dana White will also be with us this month and posting on Tuesdays!
 

We moved back to Calgary AB in 2008 (third time a charm?!) from Toronto ON where my cousin introduced me in 2004 to the world of scrapbooking. I went to my first Stamping party in the spring of 2005 & I wasn’t going to get into stamping – well I fell hard! Through stamping I have met some amazing friends and was sad to leave Toronto and them!



Since being back in Calgary I have met some amazing stampers and because we bought a bigger house I now have an entire room devoted to my addiction (according to my hubby!) and I try to spend time in my room everyday.


I am just starting in the world of digi stamps and was thrilled when I was asked to be a guest stamper this month for Sweet ‘n Sassy Digis.

the icing on the cake...

Happy Saturday everyone. I have really enjoyed my month as a guest designer for Sweet 'n Sassy Digis. Sadly this is my last post but I have one more card to show you. This one uses this weeks new release Cupcake Cocoa. Isn't he so sweet? My girls are just crazy about all the Sweet 'n Sassy images and I suspect this card will be snatched up first thing in the morning to be used for my youngest daughter's BFF's birthday party.

Nothing fancy here just fun. I colored Cocoa with my copic markers and layered him on some pink card stock and some gorgeous Basic Grey Bittersweet designer paper. I added a touch of gloss to Cocoa's nose and the hearts on his cupcake.

Blessings,

Debi

Kate & Lizzy and Friend

Yesterday Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps released new digital stamps and I so wished I had more time to color all of the new digital stamps up to share with you today. However, for today I was able to finish two cards - yeah me :-).

When I first saw Kate & Lizzy I knew immediately that I had to add them to my digi stamp collection. They remind me of Emma and Gracy. I'm sure that it's no surprise that I would pick these Sisters to feature here today :-).

For once I actually picked the DP, cardstock, flowers first and then colored the image. I even put the card together first which was (for once) super easy since I followed Korin's sketch. Korin is the guest host at SCS Sketch Challenge, filling in for Cindy Coutts.

I used papers from the Magnolia line from My Minds Eye and colored Kate & Lizzy with Copics. The flower petals are left over and came from my scrap bin as did the ribbon. (I'm so excited that I'm actually using up these left overs.) I kind of had to use the flower petals to hide a die-cutting mistake which left me wondering where to put the sentiment. I know I could have put it on the inside, but thought it added a nice touch right on top of the petals. Something a little different than your button or brad, don't you think?

My next card features the cutest, sweetest little mouse. It's Cupcake Cocoa.

And guess what, for this card I followed the sketch from The Sweet Stop! I'm on a roll, lol!!!
Nothing fancy, just copics for coloring Cocoa and the cupcake, left over striped DP from my previous project and some red polka dot paper from DCWV. The flowers are from Prisma.

If you haven't visited Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps to see all the new releases, make sure you stop by..... you'll be glad you did.

Puppy Love and a Special Delivery

Good morning Sweet 'n Sassy stampers!! I hope you have had a fantastic week. I hope you have been checking in here at the Digi Blog each day so you aren't missing out on any of the DT's posts. These ladies are so talented, and I just love seeing what everybody creates with the Sweet 'n Sassy Digis!!

Today, there are several new images being released!! Since Korin prices her digital stamps at such an incredible price, you can easily pick up each and every new release and still stay within your budget!

I chose to work with two of the new images for today. The first is called Puppy Love. What an adorable little puppy! This cutie comes with two different sentiments, one of which I used here, as well as two small bonus images (a bone and pawprints). I used the little bone from the set to make the background paper that the puppy is mounted on. I distressed all the edges, and antiqued them with Distress Inks. The puppy was coloured with Copic markers. I hand cut the large bone and antiqued that as well. Finally, the puppy was pop-dotted for dimension.

The second image I worked with is Birdie Delivery. I am totally in love with this cute image!! So, I decided that I needed a whole parade of them!! lol Now, I'm not usually successful with a "clean and simple" kind of look, but I thought I'd give it a go. It usually takes me forever to put a card together, so I was quite pleased that this one came together in about twenty minutes (not including the colouring time). As always, I coloured with my handy dandy Copics! I also had this metal embellishment kicking around in my stash...how perfect!! Gotta love it when that happens!

Now, I had coloured the bundles different colours, since the expectant parents might not know whether their little baby is a boy or a girl...but I suppose if you knew a couple expecting quadruplets, then this card could be perfect for them!! lol

All right stampers! Time to head on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy Store to purchase your digis!

Have a blessed day friends!

Melanie

Getting well prepared for Christmas 2010!

I thought for my post today I'd ink up this cutie that was released in December - I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas - if you haven't heard the song, you're missing out!   (Click here to hear it and have a laugh!)  It was my New Year's crafty resolution to make a Christmas card or two every month, so this un's for my 2010 stash!  No making cards till midnight all of December for me this year! LOL!

I coloured my hippo with copic markers and added some red nail varnish to her tootsies ... well every girl likes to look her best!  Her bow is also popped up on dimensionals. 

Don't forget that Thursday is Digi Day at Sweet'n Sassy Stamps.  There's no less than FIVE fabulous new release sets for you designed by Korin and Leah - be sure and pop by the Digi blog tomorrow to see what Melanie's made for you!

It's a Hoppy Day.....

.... but a sad one, too. Today is my last posting here as a Guest DT member, so that makes me a bit sad. But the happiness I have felt in this month of sharing with you here at Sweet 'N Sassy and being surrounded by some of the most kind & generous people completely outweighs that sadness! :)


So I will share this card with you using the newly released Fenton the Frog. He really does make me smile! We have a fondness for frogs in our family. I am always reminded of the acronym F.R.O.G. - Fully Rely On God.


The papers are full of glitter, as are this little guy's spots, all shining with God's radiance!


So I will say 'until we meet again'.... for with Him,
there are no goodbyes!

Blowing you {MORE} Kisses!

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!  Sorry I missed you guys last Monday!  I ended up having an awful migraine that lasted forever!  {Thank You, Sandy for covering me!}  One of these days I will get ahead! LOL!

It was a FUN yet busy week at our Paper Craft Planet group HERE!  Our Princess and Frog Challege HERE was inspired by the latest digis released and you are invited to still play along and show us your creations!!  Korin also picks our monthly guest designer from our challenges, so you may just want to try your hand at it!

For my card today, I used BLOWING KISSES!  This set features this super sweet teddy bear (in full length) and three sentiments!  Just $4.50 for the entire set; perfect for Valentine-Card-making, don't you think?  Begin NOW, because Valentine's Day will be here before you know it!!

AND if you see below, I am adding a new feature to my card-posts, I am taking pictures of the COPIC colors that I used in creating that card.  So, maybe this will hope those newbie Copic colorers out there!  If you would like to know all of the details (supplies) of my card, check out my blog HERE!

Hugs and Blessings to all! ~ Nicole

Make it a MAHVELOUS MONDAY!
