Halloween Cards

This weekend I worked on some Halloween Cards with some of my friends. Stampin up just has so many wonderful Halloween Stamps.

Welcome to Carol! Our Guest DT for September!

Welcome Carol Hurlock :) I am so excited to announce our September Guest Designer Diva. Carol is a wonderful card maker and all around crafter for that matter. She is extremely talented and her work will bring so much inspiration to the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenges this next month. Here is a little bit about her.....
"I live in Woodbine, Georgia with my best friend-husband John and my two boys, Wesley 23 and Ryan 16. There has never been a moment in my life that I do not remember crafting. Starting at an early age doing those loopy loom pot holders. I learned to crochet at twelve, then sew. I was creating all my own clothes in my Junior year in high school and continued until I turned that craft into a home based business making fabric dolls, animals, and quilts in 1990-1999 as Carol Anne's Country Cache. I have dabbled in paper crafting long before it became so popular. I used to make my own hang/price tags for my merchandise, my own cards, and stationery items as well as scrapbooking. Papercrafting and rubber stamping are my passion right now even though I still quilt and crochet afghans. Its an adventure and I am enjoying wherever my creativity has been taking me!"
Carol will be helping us choose our October Guest Designing Diva, so keep those creative juices flowing and be sure to let us know you are interested in being our Oct. Guest Designer. Please stop by her blog and give her a big shout out!
“CONGRATULATIONS”
Carol, we are just thrilled to have you with us.

They are being very generous with their give away this week and here is some cool information about Sunshine’s Stamps. Thank You Christina!
"Sunshine’s Stamps is the brainchild of Christina and Rob with a lot of wonderful input from Chrissy! There are a lot of Stamp Company’s forming up out there. Digital images seemed to be the way to go for us. We had been looking for a venture to do together for quite some time and after some poking and prodding I managed to inspire my Hubby Robbie into making his first attempt at a digital image. Now, I am very fortunate to have an accomplished artist as a husband. Not many out there can say that!! Robbie is an aviation and railroad artist of well known repute. His fine art can be found on his Website or on his blog which is dedicated to his mistress, the Argus this of course was the inspiration for our first image – Angus Argus.

A shortage of masculine images out there was really obvious to me, the mother of “my three sons”. Once we decided to go with manly images near and dear to Robbie’s heart we were on our way. Off we went. We have been developing different lines of stamps as we go and expect that we will continue to develop new lines as we grow and mature as a business. Currently we have the High Flyer series, Big Builders, Everyday Heroes and the two new series we are releasing here this week “Around the House” & “Teasers”. There are several other Series under development and we happily take image requests from our Design Team and our wonderful supporters. We thank our wonderful design team “SUNSHINE’S STAMPERS” for their wonderful creativity, enthusiasm and support. We hope you pop by our BLOG to see what is coming up and find links to the coolest cards and projects. Also watch out for our newsletter showcasing the tremendous versatility of digital stamp images.
I am running late in posting this sketch challenge card... I used one of our sponsors digi images for this cute childs birthday card.

Beautiful Dreamer

This is a card that I completed this weekend. I have always had a thing for pixies, angels and fairies. I just love this image which is a dottie digital. I used the scor-pal double sided tape to fasten all of these layers on the envelope as well as the card. Prisma flowers were given to me by Priscilla. I was looking for the perfect card to use these and I think I found it!




I also used Priscilla's easy templete to make this card envelope. I used coordinating papers inside the envelope.

MMSC 14 Digi's From McMahon Five!

Check out Sue's Fantastic Digi's Here

For this card, I used Sue's Digi "Whimsical Pumpkin". I also used Scor-Pals wonderful sticky tape as well as Lindy's embossing powder. Both of these supplies were a great help in designing and completing this card.



This is another picture of this card with the box envelope that I made especially for this card. I used Priscilla's easy peasy templete. It was sooooo easy. Look on Priscilla's Blog to purchase one of these cool tools for yourself! I love mine!

Congrats toTerry Snode my Blog Candy Winner!

Congrats Terry! Your items are going out in the mail on Monday!

This is another Dottie's Digi and was actually one of her free downloads. I just love this wet little guy. I used crystal lacquer as well as liquid embroidery to give the water and the bubbles added texture. He kinda looks like my sister's Yorkie during a bath.

Dreamin Pixie Fairy

I just discovered these cute little pixie fairies, and knew I just had to try them. They are just so petite and they were alot of fun to color. This is a Dottie's Digi
I haven't painted many digi's before and it really was alot easier than I thought!
