Holiday Blessings with Firecracker Designs

This is my final post as a Guest DT member for Firecracker Designs by Pamela. *sniff* I would like to thank Pamela and Shelly for inviting me as a guest designer. I enjoyed my month on the team with these wonderfully supportive ladies.

For my final project I made another Christmas card for OWH. These poinsettias are so pretty. I printed them out twice and layered for some dimension. I love the texture on this card with the flocked papers & the lace. I used metallic gold paper under the poinsettias and the label/sentiment. You really can't see it too well in the photo but it looks really nice IRL.

Remember that Pamela is closing the store in December. If you have your eye on something, you may want to get it now before it is sold out. The coupon code BYEBYEFDC is good for 10% of your order before 10-1-10. You can keep track of all the information on sales, discounts and the store closing HERE.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful week end.

Snowmen Fall From Heaven Unassembled

This is my second post as a guest designer on the Firecracker Designs digi team. I loved this image as soon as I saw it. It was a breeze to color and so easy to use. It is also nestie compatible, although I hand cut my image and mat.




I broke out my brand new October Afternoon holiday papers and my favorite trim. (I found some more at a local crafting store and bought the last little bit they had.) I used up some old snowflake eyelets that have been in my stash forever. I don't know where I got them or who made them. Both layers of DP were dry embossed to add a little texture.

You can keep track of what is going on with Fire Cracker Designs on Pamela's blog or by visiting the store. You can see the Child of Winter digi I used along with the rest of the series HERE in the store. Did you know that Pamela offers a free digi most week ends? The one from last week end is a wonderful autumn digi. Download it before it is moved into the shop.

Fire Cracker Design GDT - Happy Birthday Bouquet

Check it out! I was asked to be a guest digi designer for Fire Cracker Designs by Pamela for the month of September. I am really excited and love working with Pamela's images. I am just getting to know the rest of the DT but they are a talented, fun group of ladies. Thank you Shelly and Pamela for this opportunity.

For my first project this month, I made a birthday card using Mother's Bouquet. These flowers are so pretty, easy to color and versatile too. I think I went a little Stickles crazy trying to bling it up a bit but I think it still looks good IRL.
