McMahon Vintage Digitals 'Sailing with Love'

Hello! Today I have the CUTEST McMahon Vintage Digital to show you called 'Sailing With Love'. I squealed with delight when I first this image, I just thought it was so adorable. To make my card I used an old Midnight Madness sketch (MMSC89) and paper from Prima called 'Madeline'. I colored the image with Copics, then put Flower Soft in the trees and grass and Brown Flock on the Cattails. I embellished with more Primas, ribbon, and vintage trims. The heart was cut with a Cuttlebug, and the sentiment is by Crafty Secrets. Here is a close up so you can see the Flower Soft details better.
Be sure to visit the McMahon Five Designs Blog to see all the rest of this week's new releases. And if you'd like to see more cards made with the new releases, just visit the rest of the McMahon Five Designs Design Team Members Blogs listed in my sidebar.


Have a great day! Amy

Doodle Pantry Sketch Challenge

Hello! Today I made a card for the Doodle Pantry Challenge Blog. This time it was a sketch challenge. I used my new Iris image which I received FREE just for playing in last month's challenge. This set is so beautiful. It comes both in black and white and pre-colored and it also has iris designer paper too; which I also used in my card below. I just love the sketch on the Challenge Blog. It worked perfectly with this image. All I had to do was add Prima's and pearls for embellishment. It won't be long now before the Iris's are in bloom! I can't wait! I can already see their little green stalks poking their heads out of the ground. Have a great day! Amy

Digital Tuesday Challenge "For the Kids!"

Hello and welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge. This week's challenge is 'For the Kids!'. Simply make a card or project for children and be sure to use at least one digital element. Our sponsor this week is MyGrafico, and they are giving away 1 digi stamp set and 20% off an in-store order to one lucky randomly chosen winner. To make my card, I used the carousel image from the MyGrafico set 'Carousel Stamps' designed by Blackleaf. My paper is DCWV 'All About Boys Stack'; I think it matched the image perfectly! I printed the image twice and mounted just the base and the tent portion of the image up on dimensionals. If you'd like to play along with us this week, simply click on the Digital Tuesday Challenge Blinkie in my sidebar and it will take you directly to the Challenge Site with further instructions. Have a great day! Amy
