fall into autumn 2012

Good morning everyone to DIGITAL DELIGHT THURDAYS! Come and see what our designers have created for you to see this week. There are so many wonderful cards and even a few projects for you to see this week. I want to share with you my little project. What I made this week is called FLAT BACKED TREAT BOX some if you would like her is the tutorial so you can make one. The images I used from DIGITAL DELIGHT are Haystack the scarecrow, Fall accessories set, Fall sentiments set and Haystack from Down on the farm accessories. Remember if you want you can get the images colored or in black and white. This was such a fun card to make. As I show you the different pictures you will see where you add the treats. I printed all the images on x-press it blending card stock.

Off to School we go!!!

Off to school 2012

 

See what our designers have created for you this week

Off to school we go!!! Do you remember that time in your life? I do! I remember the first day of school was always so much fun, you got to see all our friends you have not seen all summer long again and you could wear your brand new dress and shoes, when I went to school we had to wear dresses. kids do not know how easy they have it now, and I had to walk 3 miles to school and back in a dress and we could not wear pants. I grew up in upper Michigan… hahaha I had to walk to school but it was only a couple blocks but we had to wear dresses! We did have lots of snow and it was frozen. Such is life. Welcome to another Digital Delight Thursday! See what our designers have created for you this week. There are so many wonderful cards for you to see this week!  I want to share with you my card. The images I used on my card are SCHOOL BUS and BACK TO SCHOOL SENTIMENT. Sorry I’m a little late posting my card today but my mother-in-law came in yesterday  for a surprise visit for a couple days.

off to school left 2012

I will try and make this short and sweet so I do not have to keep my mother-in-law in the front room by herself for a long time. Oh.. yes I do not do things right when I’m hurried so I forgot to take the picture of what markers I used (again), so sorry!!! : •(

The dies used are from Memory Box wrought iron fence, arboscello tree and country house. The ABC"’s are from some paper ABC”s I have had for yearssss and I colored them and used versa mark and  clear embossing power and heat set them with my heat gun to make them shine. Pearl Pen colors sunny yellow, red and green. The papers used are from my stash.

Back to School side 2012

 

This is a little side view. The image I used is from The stamping Boutique and it is called Desk and here is a close up. The 1,2,3 are brads. I’m sorry I do not have a picture of the copic markers I used. Thought I uploaded the picture and deleted it.

Back to School close up

I did make another Bag-a-Lope Treat Bag but I have a little story about that one. I found two Whipper Snapper stamps that I have had and I though these would be fun to color thinking they both where ladybugs and not thinking anything about it and I’m coloring away and I get all done and I’m  looking at them and start to think (I should never do that) their faces are the same but the Schell is so much different and I start to laugh it is because one of them is a turtle. Oh well Happy Halloween!

Oh Lady bug 2012 

I think they still look cute! What do you think? I thought of this saying I’m going to put on the back and this is what it will say: One ladybug said to the turtle, why do you look like a ladybug? And the turtle will reply the artist did not realize I was not a ladybug until after she colored me. Happy Halloween!

Oh Lady bug side 2012 

Here is the side. I add some glossy accents, ribbon is from Hobby Lobby, ladybugs had in my stash and the punch is from Martha Steward called ladybug border.

Here are the copic markers I used to color the images.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week end. The grand kids started soccer so got to watch them run after the soccer ball, just to funny. We sure have cooled down as far as the weather. Have a good week and until next time be safe.
