Happy New Year!

Hello!  In honor of the New Year, I decided to make a Happy New Year card.  My image and paper is from Daydream Designs.  The main image and clock are from the set 'Happy New Year Color Digi Set' (which is also available in outline) and the polka dotted paper is from 'Happy New Years Paper Pack'.  My sketch is from Mojo Monday (270).  I used Nesties to make more circle shapes next to the clock and the scalloped border,  and I put Stickles on the fireworks and confetti in the main image.

Have a great day and a Happy New Year!

Happy Winter

Hello!  I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.  I had to work Christmas Eve, but I didn't mind it because I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere at the store for a change, and I was also able to get a lot of work done.  Our church didn't have a Christmas Eve Service and our daughter (who is a professional singer in Chicago) had to sing at a Midnight Mass, and spend Christmas Day with her in-laws, so we won't be celebrating Christmas till Saturday...then the fun begins!  Anyway, it's freezing cold here in Wisconsin, so I thought I'd make a winter card using some Daydream Designs images and papers.

I started with a old sketch from 'I Love Sketches'.  The images are from Daydream Designs Colorized Digi Set 'Snowbabies'.  The papers are digital papers from Daydream Designs 'Winter Chill Digi Paper Pack', and 'Winter Flakes Digi Paper Pack'.  I stamped a retired sentiment from the Stampin Up! set 'Happy Winter' over the snowflake image from the 'Snowbabies' set.  I then put Stickles on the snow and the snowballs.  The girl and snowball stash were cut out and popped up on dimensionals.  The snowflakes are pre-cut felt embellies found in the dollar bins at JoAnn's Fabrics and Crafts.  Pom-Pom trim, ribbon, and adhesive crystals were added for embellishment.

Have a great day and a Happy Winter!  Amy

Digital Tuesday Challenge 'Layers'

Hello and welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge. This week's challenge is 'Layers':  Simply make a card or project with lots of layers on it and be sure to include at least one digital element.  Our sponsor this week is 'Crafts and Me' and they are giving away three digis to one lucky randomly chosen winner.

To make my card, I turned to a Splitcoaststampers Sketch (SC414) that uses lots of layers.  Five layers to be exact, six if you count the card base.  My image is from the Daydream Designs "Santa Please Color Digi Set".  This set is also available in outline too.  I printed the sack and reindeer out and cut them out and popped them up on dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment on the sack with a stamp from the dollar bins at JoAnn's Fabrics and Crafts.  A simple bow and some red flocked brads were my only embellishment.  All the paper is scraps from my stash.  This was a great sketch to use up those scraps!

Have a great day! Amy
