Be Berry Thankful

Happy Wednesday everyone! Half the week is over and the weekend is just around the corner...so it's a perfect time to be thankful and enjoy another darling Cocoa image. Isn't Cocoa the sweetest thing ever?

This specific image is called Berry Sweet Cocoa and can be purchased for only $3.00!! Don't you just love the cost and flexibility of digi images! The more I use them, the more I like them!! Sweet Cocoa has been paired with some lovely Jillibean Soup papers and just a few rhinestones for a touch of bling. And this layout is from this week's Sweet Stop sketch. (Check out the sketch...if you participate in the challenge, you could win free stuff!!)

Enjoy today's card and "be thankful"....it's almost Friday!! :-)

For the Boys

It seems so easy to make cards for the GIRLS in our lives. Pretty, full of ribbon and flowers and hearts and love....but the BOYS?? That's a different story sometimes!

Guy cards are my toughest challenge, and I find that going plain and simple is the best approach. It helps to start out with a great guy image of course...I LOVE these bowling pins! Such a quick fun image. I paired it with a greeting from Masculine Birthday, added some great GUY paper (these papers are from the Joy Ride Mini Deck by Cosmo Cricket) and whipped this one up in about 15 minutes (which is probably my all time record!).

Thanks for coming by to look! Enjoy your day!

Purrfectly Wonderful Birthday!


This is the Purrfect Friends digi and I absolutely love the fun nose and long whiskers on this kitten.  He's so much fun to color and because he's a solid color you could even use some fun scrapbook paper and print him on that if you didn't want to color him.  He is paired with two wonderful sentiments that are PURR-fect for him! 

Hope you have a chance to go by the Sweet 'n Sassy store and see all the wonderful digis they have to offer.   If you haven't been in the store recently, there are 519 digis listed!  What a great variety of images and definitely something for everyone!

Customer Spotlight Sunday!




Today is Customer Spotlight Sunday and I have two beautiful cards to share with you from, Maxine D. She played along with our challenges that we have on PCP and SNR on Thursdays which makes it easy for us to find customers that use our digis. She was creative in using the same layout with two different Cocoa images.

We love it when you let us know you are using our digis! Be sure to post a link to your card(s) by posting a link below. We are always looking for cards or projects to use on our Sunday Customer Spotlight posts :)!

Purrfect Friend in pink and brown

Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to be one of the Guest Designers this month for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. Today I'll be showing the first card I've made using some of the digital stamps that S'nS offers.

One of the sets that I chose for my guest designer stint is Purrfect Friend because I'm a cat lover and I also have a lot of friends that are cat lovers, as well. I'm going to get a ton of use out of this set. I already have the person picked out that this card is going to be sent to. One of my best friends that lives overseas in Belgium. We may have an ocean separating us, but that doesn't keep our friendship from growing. She can't have a cat where she lives, but she absolutely adores them, so this card will be the next best thing to having a cat to cuddle and it will also show her just how much she means to me.

I printed out my digi stamps and then used my Copic markers to color the kitty in. I never used to be a pink lover, but I've always liked shades of brown. Over the last couple of years, I've really come to like this color combo together. And this kitty looks so cute in pink and brown.

I used a scalloped circle punch to punch out a bunch of circles in caramel cardstock and snipped them in half to layer them behind the kitty to make a scalloped border. I used pop-dots to give it some height on my card. Some patterned paper and a little bit of pink and brown grosgrain ribbon finished my card off.

I'm looking forward to showing you my next creations next Saturday when I post again!
