"Not a creature was stirring" Christmas Card

Here's an adorable image from Di's Digi Stamps called "Not a creature was stirring".  This image is not only adorable, but really fun to color.  I colored with Copics and added Stickles to the snow for a little sparkle. 

I would like to enter my card into this challenge:

Di's Digi Design Challenge - using Snow or Snowflakes

Happy Birthday Eric

I made this card for my nephews 21st birthday.  This little mouse digi stamp is another adorable and fun image to color from Bugaboo Stamps.

Wild Thing, You Make My Heart Sing

Bugaboo Stamps is killing me with all the cute elephant digi's.  I can't wait to send these out to my nieces and nephews for Valentine's Day!!!

Edward Elephant Birthday

I bought this digi stamp from Bugaboo Stamps the other day and I am addicted.  It's called "Edward Elephant - Present" and as you can see I want to color it in all different colors.  These are just a couple of cards that I've created with this digi.  

Just another thing to love about this image...you can use it for girls or boys.  I always struggle to find a card in my stash that I can send to a boy/man.  Lets just face it...I love pink  & ribbon & sparkles, so naturally my cards are going to reflect that.  This image makes it so easy to do both!!!

This is my very first time ever entering a challenge blog.  Woo Hoo!!!

Just Getting Started

I've been wanting to start a blog for a while now and just wasn't sure how to go about it.  I am not very creative when it comes to stuff like this and frankly, coming up with a name for my blog was very frustrating (I'm still not 100% sure I love it).  Anyway, I'm not exactly sure what got me started with crafting, but it seems I can remember long ago making birthday cards using stickers.  Then, several years ago, I talked my husband into buying me a cricut machine.  I started searching the internet for tutorials and inspiration.  I found blog after blog with everything I could ever hope for in the crafting world.  To this day, I still follow some of those blogs that got me started.  As most crafters know, it didn't take long and I had every empty space in my small house filled with crafting supplies.  And then, there were Copics and Digi Stamps!!!  A few years ago as I was hopping from blog to blog, I discovered Copic markers & digi stamps.  Oh boy!!!!  Was I in trouble!!!  I started my collection of Copic markers with colors that I thought were pretty.  If you know anything about Copic markers, you know that the letters & numbers on the markers actually mean something and the blender pen is actually not for blending.  I finally figured it out with the help of countless blogs and youtube videos.  I have taken a couple of Copic coloring classes at the local stamping stores, but I don't know if I will ever consider myself anything but a beginner.  Practice, practice, practice is definitely the key!!!  I get discouraged (usually when trying to color hair) and put all my crafting supplies away and then several months go by and I get the itch and haul it all back out again.  I don't have a craft room, but more of a shared space with the formal dining room.  I keep my Copics on the top tier of a three tiered Ikea rolling cart.  I couldn't live without that cart.  It also houses card bases, envelopes, stamps, embellishments, 6x6 paper, my ATG guns, other adhesives, punches, etc etc.
Well...I sincerely hope that I haven't bored you to death, if anyone will actually read this.
Bye for now!!!
