Digital Delights--- Thank you card

Today, I used a Digital Delights image for a thank you card.  I colored with Copics and lastly, put Glossy Accents on the flowers.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PROMO!!!

I got this cute little image from Wendy at Digital Delights by Louby Lou!!!! And when you put in him on an Action Wobble.... he looks even cuter!!!  I used my Cuttlebug embossing folder, Spellbinders Nestabilities (Labels) and Copics. As I told you in a prior post, my friend got a promo so this is the card I gave her.  Congrats L!!!!

Sentiment from Scrappy Moms!!!  Stickers from Michaels

Amuse-bouche:  And as I craft, I've been watching The Shining (the original) with Jack Nicholson.  I've seen this movie so many times.  We used to have holidays at my cousins' house and every holiday (mind you, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and NY's), we'd break out The Shining on VHS  and watch it at least once.  (The other choice was Moonraker).

HOPPY EASTER

Here is an Easter card I made a friend.  It is made with an image from Wendy at Digital Delights with Louby Lou.  I also put it on an Action Wobble.  In addition, I used my COPICS pens.  The Sentiment came from Stampin' Up and I used two punches (1" circle and 1.5 scallop circle).  I also used a Cuttlebug folder to emboss the yellow paper.

Amuse-bouche:

Joke for you... well, those of you who have heard Lady Gaga's song, "Pokerface"

"How do you wake Lady Gaga up in the morning?"

"Po-po-poke- her face."

Hello??? Is this thing on?  Hello?

Let me just say, I am NOT a Lady Gaga fan.

Here's my latest favorite song (via video since I don't know how else to put a song up here) that I dance to on the stair-stepper.... I would have put the video up but it was extremely risque. About the 30 second mark is when I start the head-banging...

THANK MOO...

Gosh, I sure missed posting last week.... I really aimed to make more cards this weekend but I've been making some items (wallets) that you have already seen.  But, here's a cute little thank MOO card I made for my friend. We had a lovely dinner on Saturday night.  The image came from "Digital Delights from Louby Lou."    What a cute image. Thank you Wendy!!!

The ribbon came from the wedding section at Michaels.  I used Copics markers and some Stickles (frosted lace).

Amuse-bouche:

A new shirt at Target for Sammy:  "Plant a Toilet."

Thank You Card....

Check out this little dooossey!

I used Glossy Accents on the nose and swing.  The stamp is from Scrappy Mom's.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Broken China), and some $1 Michaels' ribbon

I purchased this image as part of the set to donate for Katie (http://help4katie.blogspot.com/ )

It's a Louby Lou image!

Leos ROCK!!!!

The photo is this size because if I make it bigger, it gets blurry.

This is my digital image from Louby Lou.   I used Copics on these and my first ever "Spellbinder" die cut (with my Cuttlebug) to cut out the image.  Some bling was placed strategically and a ribbon from Michael's $1 rack.

I inked the edges of the Spellbinder image with some brown ink.

Commentary: for a first time Spellbinder Nestabilities user, I find it a bit challenging. (I'm sure the pros are rolling their eyes- "Crike, How can it be challenging?  It must be quite vacuous in that head of hers."  I guess when that cracking noise emits from my Cuttlebug as I run the die cut through, I start freaking out. I'm sure I'll get used to it.  And the creating the image within an image (ergo, "Nest-abilities)" --- isn't an easy thing for me.  It just doesn't look right to me. 

I liken the Nestabilities to using a Cuisinart... as opposed to using scissors or a punch is similar to using an Easy Bake Oven.  But, I'm sure I'll get there one day.  I think I just need more practice.

Enough babbling...

This card is actually being sent to Aidan.   Aidan was diagnosed with T-Cell Leukemia. His story is posted on Mary's blog (www.cardztv.blogspot.com). 

The rain has stopped... for a few days.

The rain stopped (forecast says rain on Saturday night).  Unfortunately, it left many people with flood damage, cars that will more than likely be totalled as the electronic computer in their cars shorted when it got stuck in a current, and leaky roofs.

On that cheery note, let me show you a card to turn your frown upside down...

The ribbon I got at Michaels (where else do I shop??) as a clearance item from Halloween. I don't know WHY it was a clearance item for HALLOWEEN. It looks perfectly Christmas-y to me.  The sentiment came from Digital Delights from Louby Lou.   http://www.digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/ I actually colored in the lightbulbs with fine point SHARPIES to make the color look bold. The glitter paper came from a Summer Dream pack from Joann's.

I flocked the antlers!!!  I used prismacolor pencils and chalk (a la Mary at Cardztv) for coloring

Uh oh... I hear banging in my bedroom.  I fear the Chi-weenie has gotten into something... gotta run.

(Yea, I just heard something fall on the floor, followed by barking.  Great.  I hope I still have a pillow tonight).
