Digi Monday at Paper Playtime - Friend Theme

Good morning, my friends.  I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend.  I had a wonderful time with family.

 Today is digi Monday at Paper Playtime but with a twist this week.  Your card or project is to have a friends theme. 

I used the image called Billy and Rocket from Digital Delights by Louby Loo and coloured him with my copics.  All card stock is from Recollections.  I used the Traffic Jam and Spots and Dots Cuttlebug embossing folders to give the background and the "moon" dimension.  The stamp is from the "Just A Little Note to Say" set by My Creative Time.  It would make a great card to send to a friend who is feeling a little down or even a child's birthday.  I like the way it turned out.

Thank you for dropping in today.  Please join us at Paper Playtime this week and show us your friendship theme digis.  Have a wonderful Monday!!!

Winner from the Royal Digi Blog Hop and a Quick Card

Good morning, my friends.  I am so sorry that I have not posted this sooner.  My life has been taken over by bride and grooms :)  I am making the favours for my son's wedding in two weeks and decided to colour a bride and groom stamp to go on each one at the last minute.  So now all I seem to be doing is colouring them.  Thank goodness it is a very small wedding!!!  And, yes, I promise to share them with you as soon as the wedding is over. 

Now on to the important part of this post.  The winner from the Royal Digi Blog hop from Saturday is Sharon. 

Sharon said....
Beautiful! Love the colors. That Easter egg ribbon is great. Awesome layout!!! :)

Sharon, please e-mail me your address and I will get your goodies out to you as soon as this madness in my life stops (2 weeks from now, I hope you don't mind waiting.....)

I also have a quick card to share with you today.  I made it on the weekend from my stash of images that I have coloured recently.  My poor Cricut is feeling neglected since I discovered Copic markers but never fear,  I will pull it out again soon.

The image is from The Greeting Farm "My Guy Ian" set.  I am loving the images from this company.  All other supplies were from my stash as I had to make this card quickly as I had no manly birthday cards as we were off to the party.  Reminder to self, I need to make more cards for men to keep on hand.

Thanks for dropping by today.  I hope everyone is having a great day on this Wednesday no matter what you are doing.

Royal Digi Easter Blog Hop Day #1

Welcome to the Royal Digi Easter Blog Hop Day #1.  If you just arrived from Andrea then you are in the right spot.  If you just happened to visit my blog today, you may want to go back to Theresa "The Scrapbooking Queen"  to start at the beginning.

Since this is a two day hop, I have created a project to share each day.  For today, I have an Easter card.

The digi image was coloured with my watercolour pencils and I added stickles to the egg to give it a bit of bling.  All card stock is Recollections and the patterned paper is Creative Memories.  I used the D'Vine Swirls and Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folders to give some dimension.  The zig zag punch is Martha Stewart.  Ribbon and bling are from my stash picked up somewhere along the way and finally put to some use.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Please come by tomorrow to see my layout for Day #2. Your next stop along the way is Sharon.

MIA, A Reminder and 4 Things

Good morning, my friends.  I have been MIA for a bit but am fine and have just gotten busy.  This past weekend I attended Scrapfest in Kitchener with my Mom and had a great time.  We did not do the big crop but chose to scrapbook together at her place and I finished 4 double page layouts and a single page layout except for journalling and I hope to get to that today.  Yeah me!  Finally some neglected scrapbooking got done.  I also took a photography workshop and have to spend some time absorbing what we learned and trying some of the techniques out.

A Day of "See Ya Later"s

Good evening, my friends.  Just a quick post tonight before I go into the pink castle to organize pictures for my venture to Scrapfest next weekend.  I am hoping to actually do some neglected scrapbooking and not just cards :)

These last couple of days have been a little melancholy at the place where I work.  There has been some restructuring going on and we have lost a couple of wonderful women due to that.  They will be missed.  Here are the cards I made for each of them:

This card uses Forever Young for the flower cuts and Create A Critter for the butterflies.  Simple with lots of room for writing.  And I happen to know that this particular girl loves butterflies :)

 This is a digi image from Di's Digi Designs coloured with the few copics I have so it is not that great but I am definitely still learning. 

Both cards are so different and yet they represented the ladies I gave each one to perfectly :)

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful weekend and I hope to be back early next week with an.  other project.
