All Occasion Card Using DS4J Tulip Basket and Anna Griffin New Embossing folders/dies

DT Project for Digi Stamps 4 Joy  - Challenge 110 - Embossing/Use Red

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is staying warm and healthy.  I can't believe the cold weather that hit the US East coast and most of US.  Wow!  The volume of snow is unbelievable!  I am glad I don't have to deal with it.  I hated being iced in when I lived in MO.  Hopefully spring will come soon for all of you.

It is time for another DS4J Challenge 110 - Embossing/Use Red.  This one was a challenge for me; as I rarely use anything red on my cards.  I am a purple/pink person.  I used CTMH Ruby and it looks more pink in the pictures; but it is red.  I decided to add a pink bling to the flower.  It just felt like the right combination.  

I chose DS4J Tulip Basket to create my card.  It is a beautiful image and seemed to fit perfectly with embossing and red.  Be sure to check out all the other fabulous DT creations.This challenge will end March 31st; so be sure to get started on your creation right away.  Don't forget to use embossing and red on your creation.  Visit the DS4J shop where you can find a lot of wonderful digis to create with.

Love/Happiness Card Using Sweet Pea "Love Is In The Air", Cricut Artiste and Art Philosophy Cartridges

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is doing well.  I know it is cooler across the US; including here in Southern CA.  We are expecting rain on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday; if we are lucky.  We really  need the rain.  

I am so excited to share with you my card/invitation I created for three of my grandchildren. I sent it today; and can't wait for them to get it.  I have invited them and their mother, to come and visit us for a week in June.  My husband and I have tickets to fly to MO and when we return home; Jenny and her three kids are flying out with us.  They will be here for a week.  We were supposed to have two of the girls last year; but I was having some health challenges that prevented me from being able to take care of two very active teens.  They are already booked to fly out with us!  Yeah!  We are keeping it a secret until they receive this card that I created below.

I used this awesome digi from Sweet Pea "Love Is In The Air".  Isn't she adorable?  This is for their Facebook Group Progressive Challenge; which will end March 8th, 2015.  I received this image free; after buying their January image and entering it in the January Progressive Challenge.  I love their digis; so I was ecstatic to have another one to work with.

You're Amazing Card Using Ching-Chou Kuik "Key To My Heart" Digi and Maja Design Fika Paper

Hello Friends.  I am back again.   I have actually felt better the past few days; so I am eagerly trying to catch up with my posting of past creations; as well as postings of new cards. I  am so excited to share with you another new digi artist that I discovered this past week.  I found three new ones that create such gorgeous digis.  I like to create with girl/lady digis; because I have a mother, two sisters, a daughter and 4 granddaughters.  And - of course lots of lady friends and other family as well.  Plus - It is so much fun creating feminine cards.  It is easier for me than creating male cards.  

This is my first time to color purple/lavender hair.  I had so much fun doing this; but I was so disappointed in the pictures.  I took 175 pictures; using both my IPhone and my husbands camera; but still poor results.  The purples and lavenders do not show up as they should.  I hope you can use your imagination.  The keys are actually a shiny silver color; but they look grey.  I changed pictures and the purple color shows up a little better now.

This card is absolutely gorgeous with the lavenders and purples; but you can't really tell here what the true colors are on the card.  Normally my IPhone takes really good pictures.  My regular camera broke; but it didn't take this color very well either.  If anyone has a camera that takes these colors accurately; please let me know. I like the small, easy to handle cameras; point and shoot. LOL!
