Where was my head?

 

I made this card for a swap I am doing in honor of the Iditarod dog sled race. The swap called for the card to have a dog and snow for its content. Right after I posted the swap, I found this cute digi image. Of course, most of the digi companies don't ID their company in the name of the file, if I can't change the file name myself, I often cannot remember whose image it is. Such is the case with this guy! Love it though, and thought it was perfect for the swap!! I used a sentiment from My Favorite Things on the inside. It says "Where was my head.....I forgot your special day." The sentiment is from one of their slightly naughty sets of sentiments which are too stinkin' funny!!

The rest of the deets on the card:

Digital image colored with Copic markers. Added a little glitter to the snowman. Used a new SU! corner/border punch combo to make the scalloped layer under the image. Kraft taffeta ribbon from SU! The dsp is from the SU! free Sale-a-bration paper pack. Card stock is Kraft, Bermuda Bay, and Melon Mambo. Final touch was a few black blings on the top and bottom corners. Thanks for stopping in and have a wonderful Sunday!!! I'm off to pick up Kyli for the day. Supposed to finally have some warmer temps this afternoon with lots of sunshine!!

Digi Raccoon

Over the past few months, I have acquired a fairly large collection of digital images. The only problem is, like unmounted rubber, it is sometimes hard to identify where the image came from! I love this raccoon because of his realistic appearance and his mischievous pose. I just can't remember which company I purchased him from!! If I am able to identify the origin of this cute little guy, I will come back and edit my post. He was colored with Copic markers. It took a while to find the right colors and I probably couldn't replicate this one if  I had to. I went back over so many times with different colors!!! I used a new punch from Martha Steward to do the borders and corners of the mat layer. The designer papers are Bella Blue from SU. A little Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip card stock and a silk flower with a button for the center and it's done. Thanks for stopping in!

Holly Fairy

I am so proud of myself for actually using some of this gorgeous snowflake ribbon I found at Priceless Scrapbooks. It is from May Arts. I only bought a yard, but I think I'm going to get some more when I go in this weekend. The image on this card is a digital image from one of my favorite digital image artists, Mo Manning. The snow globe the fairy is holding has some glitter added to it and then I added some Crystal Effects to make it look like glass. Of course, I added glitter to everything else in sight, too. Love that about making Christmas cards....glitter always works!! Colored my image with Copic markers. I'm starting to acquire more colors and it is a little easier to get some shading on my images, though I still have a long way to go before I could compare to some of the other wonderful artists in the blog world.
