Snowboy Spinner Card

Hello!  I hope this post finds you well.  I tried something new with this card.  It has a spinner on the inside.   I inserted a video of the spinner in action below.  I hope it works (another first for me)!

I used an old digital stamp from Whimsie Doodles.  I really loved their images and am sad that they closed.

This is a photo of the inside with sentiments from Paper Trey.

And hopefully the video below shows the spinner in action!

Thank you for stopping by my blog.  I hope you have a fabulous day!

Zombie Girl

I wanted to try my hand at coloring something a little bit different.  I decided to use Halloween as an opportunity to try to color green-ish skin.  I found this old image from Whimsie Doodles in my files and thought she would be perfect.

I made another card a few weeks ago that I was going to send my daughter but I think I might send her this one instead.   I think she would like this zombie more.

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Sentimental Sundays–Halloween

It’s Sunday so it is time for another Sentimental Sundays challenge. The theme for our challenge this week is “Halloween” – don’t forget to include a sentiment.

The challenge sponsor, Whimsie Doodles, was kind enough to give the DT some images to use for the challenge. When I saw this image, I wanted to try to make a shaped card.

Stop by the Sentimental Sundays blog to see the creations from the rest of the DT. Link up your card for a chance to win the prize from Whimsie Doodles.

This challenge is a bit sad for me as it will be my last challenge as a member of the Sentimental Sundays team. The DT is a wonderful group of ladies and I have really enjoyed working with them.

Sentimental Sundays - Challenge 31: A Recipe

It's Sunday so that means it is time for the new Sentimental Sunday challenge. This week we have a recipe challenge for you. We want to see your creation with 3 designer papers, 3 buttons, and a ribbon (plus a sentiment). You are free to add anything else you would like to your project as long as it includes these elements.

So here is a look at my project.

On Friday you learned of my weakness for snowmen. As soon as I saw these cute new snowmen from Whimsie Doodles I had to purchase some of them. I think I will be back to get the rest soon. (You just can't have too many cute snowmen digis.)

Once again, I made my own crinkle ribbon by coloring seam binding with my Copic markers. For more info and tips on how to do this, please see my post from Friday.

I hope you will join the Sentimental Sundays recipe challenge this week for your chance to win 4 digital sentiments sets from Raindrop Echo Designs. If you stop by the Sentimental Sundays blog, be sure top download the free weekly sentiment digis available for one week only.
