Do Something Cheeky!


Ok I am starting to get the hang of coloring digi images. I think I have decided that Prismacolor color pencils are going to be my instrument of choice. Here is a card I did using an image I purchased from the awesome Mo Manning at Digital Pencil Too. You can view Mo's wonderful images at her store HERE. I knew I had to have it as soon as I saw it. My DD had to have a hamster, then she had to have two because the first would be lonely. Then she started college and moved out and now I have hamsters. I affectionately call them the lil fat girls because..well they are really fat. The sentiment inside the card reads "Do Something Cheeky!" Thanks for looking :)

The Mummies

Hi everyone. These are Hershey chocolate bars decorated to look like mummies. I found this wonderfully creative idea at the Chic n Scratch free tutorials. You can view the fab tutorials HERE. I am making these treats for my co-workers. They are really easy. I wrapped my sealed Hershey bar in foil, then wrapped cream colored paper around each bar. Then just tear your strips of a little shade darker paper, chalk and glue. I used wiggle eyes and made name tags for my bars. They are cute!

Birthday Card for Sue B!

This is a birthday card for my friend Sue B! The stamp is a digital I bought from The Stamping Boutique, very nice people over there! The inside of the card reads "Forget health food, at our age we need all the PRESERVATIVES we can get!" I got that sentiment as free word art, sorry I don't remember where. I used stickles on the Bee Hive and I got a little carried away, the paper got a little to wet and started to buckle, however it was ok once it dried. Another lesson learned on my 3rd card ever made and only the second one colored. Have a great week!

Birthday Card for T




Well, here is my first ever coloring project. The first picture is of the front of the card and is actually a coloring book page I colored with Zig Markers. The second picture is the inside sentiment. This is a Birthday card for my friend Theresa. Her nick name is T, thus the teapot and sentiments. All the nice gals on the Frugal Scrapper yahoo group assured me that the coloring gets easier and..better lol! If you come across this let me know what you think!

Weve Got Spirit


This is a layout I did for a challenge over at Scrapdango. I got the Title SVG from Lora, the Scrapbook Lady and I would like to thank her for her generosity! Her file includes the "Weve Got Spirit" words as well as the poms and the megaphone. The Title was perfect and so well done. You can view Lora's blog by clicking HERE!
