Game On

Well I spent a liltte time in my craft room Saturday and then we had a visit from my Son, DIL and Grandson.  They were in town doing some shopping and stopped to feed the baby.  Well, one thing led to another and they left baby with me, they did some more shopping and came back to watch football on the big screen.

I had started playing with a couple of digital images and paper from The Paper Shelter and printed off the image '3DMovie'.  

I usually color every image and then put together with my own paper, but today I decided to test out a card usually exactly the pre-colored digital image on the digital paper.

The Paper Shelter - 3D Movie

So here's what I came up with after mounting the image on a card base, then added a few more paper layers.  I added a computer sentiment, some glitter brads and ribbon. 
This is so quick if you need something fast and easy.  I do somewhat feel like I am cheating, since I always color my images with Copic Markers, but I'm happy I made the card.  The image does look a little better in person than it photographed, it has very clean and crisp lines.
So the sentiment was fitting for TV watching today.
Go Hawks! (Iowa won today)
Thanks for stopping by today.

I Am Blessed

I saw another Challenge the other day that I thought I would like to participate in, so I found an image and put together this card.

The Paper Shelter - Candy Angel

The Paper Shelter has a challenge this week that you must include sun, moon or stars.  I have this really cool paper from Scenic Route that I wanted to use. Now I need an image, so after looking around I decided to use
'Candy Angel'.
I colored with Copic Markers and decided her hair should be a little funky. It is pink and yellow then I used some fun colors for her clothes.  She has glitter wings and eye-lids.
(for some reason my picture is a little distorted, sorry)
I hope you enjoy this little Angel, and Thanks for stopping by.

Incantation

So I finally pulled my Halloween stash out of storage and decided it's time to get started.

I purchased the 'Incantation' image from The Paper Shelter and had to color this cute witch with all her potions.

Incantation - The Paper Shelter

Isn't she cute, when I saw her I knew she had to have Red Hair, so I pulled out the Copics and got started.

Papers, ribbon, ticket sentiment are all from my stash.

I hope you enjoy.

Happy Grandparents Day

Its Grandparents Day and I am so excited because I can celebrate this year.  

I have a beautiful little grandson and cherish all the time I spend with him.

Over at 613 Avenue Create challenge this week we are celebrating with cards for Grandparents Day or a card for a child

Love Bubbles - The Paper Shelter

I made a card representing Grandparents and their love for each other and grandchildren.

I love this little image from The Paper Shelter.  I colored with Copic Markers and added some of my favorite papers.  I placed sequins over the bubble for an accents. Relativity simple design but I really like the way it turned out.

Thanks for stopping today and Happy Grandparents Day!

The Paper Shelter DT Call

So I received an email from one of the blogs that I follow and they have a DT Call.

Well, I must admit that this is one of my favorite digital companies and I have enjoyed working with the images.  TPS is a sponsor for the 613 Avenue Create challenge blog and I have no problem finding an image for my DT challenge, in fact I usually can't make up my mind.  

This would be such a fun blog to be on, and I would be over the moon if selected. so here it goes. 

I usually just color up an image and put together a card with my own papers.  Well, today I took both feet out of the box and colored up the image, then used the digital paper from TPS.  

I did put a little spin on it though.

TPS -Extreme!

It may be hard to see in the picture, but I double layered the label part of the paper and then cut and popped the wave areas up on both sides.

The image was colored with Copic Markers, I added a small sentiment and a few embellies.  If you look real close you can see that he has a bright and shinny helmet!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you can take a moment to go over and check out

The Paper Shelter

Now over to TPS to add my card, wish me Luck!

I have an image from The Paper Shelter, "Adorable Cowgirl" that I picked up the other day and I decided it was perfect for this challenge.  

She is so cute and I took the time to put together a card today.

Go over and check out the site and join in the fun.

 Thanks for stopping by and have a good weekend.

Birthday Bubbles

Sharing today an extra card that's not needed for one of my upcoming DT challenges.

This is a digital image from The Paper Shelter and was so much fun to create. Most of The Paper Shelter images come already colored or you can use the line art.  They are great if you don't like to color or are short on time.  This one was colored with Copics and I used a computer generated sentiment.

Check in Sunday for the card that I used for the Challenge over at 613 Avenue Create.

Thanks for stopping today
