Good-Bye and Ringing in the New Year

It is so hard to believe that the year has come to an end, every year seems to go by faster and faster. I want to first take a minute to thank all of my followers and visitors.  All of your comments make me smile and I look forward to visiting your blogs and sharing all things crafty.  It has been a fast and furious 6 months since my first post and with it came the honor of being on my first design teams.  That being said it is time to say good bye to the Claudia & Company Digi Team as my term has come to an end. Claudia is such a wonderful lady and I thank her for the opportunity, it has been a pleasure to work with her and the rest of the design team.  Die Cuts R Us Officially changes to Claudia & Company on January first so please visit the store HERE.

Winter Ella

As a farewell I used Winter Ella Puddle Jumper by Lori Boyd which is now available in digi format.  The paper is from My Minds Eye Breaking Out collection .  I used a mix of Flower Soft polar white and Martha Stewart glitter for the snow. The silver snowflakes are by Jolee's Boutique.

I hope you have a wonderful New Year's Eve please be safe and I will see you again on New Year's Day for an exciting post, well at least I think it will be :)

I'm Back with Ella

I can't believe it has been so long since I posted.  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving for those who celebrate.  We went on a an 8 day road trip, (crazy I know) but we had a great time visiting family and friends. We did learn that my kids hate to travel in the dark "it's boring", Boring??? Kids have DVD players electronic games so much to entertain themselves they have no idea how lucky they are.  I have been peeking at blogs but have had little time to comment so I will definitely be doing that soon.

**Thursday is Digi Creation Day at Claudia and Company HERE.
** You can now get Lori Boyd's Puddle Jumpers in Digis  at Die Cuts R Us.

 

Today I made a pretty simple card with one of my favorite Puddle Jumpers Ella with Doll from Claudia and Company.  I love the colors in this paper by Crate Paper's Restoration and I got it in the 6x6 pack at Die Cuts R Us right HERE. The sentiment is from Paper Make Up  (they have some really nice sentiment stamps BTW).  Ella was colored with Copics and the shading was done with Prisma pencils.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.  I have a lot of projects to get done for the upcoming week and some more to come.

Puddle Jumpers and Exciting News

I hope everyone had a good weekend.  Mine was good and somewhat restful.  It was the first Saturday we did not have to get up early and go to a soccer game. I love watching my son play but towards the end of the season he gets so whiny about going if you know what I mean.  I also got some Christmas shopping done. I was shocked how busy the stores are already getting, I guess people are shopping early.

On to the exciting news... several of the fabulous Lori Boyd's Puddle Jumpers are now available as Digital stamps at  Die Cuts R Us.  Why digis you ask? Well, not only do they save space but you can't beat the cost savings not to mention how great it is to be able to re-size the image to fit your needs.  Please visit the Claudia and Company Blog to see some more adorable Puddle Jumper creations.

I realized when making this card, I don't make near enough boy cards.  I have to get better about that it would be nice to have a stash for birthday parties that come up.  Today I used Sammy in digi format and you can find him and the other Puddle Jumpers HERE.

I used this weeks sketch from The Sweet Shop SSS82 which worked out really well if I do say so myself.  This week is going to be a very busy week around here so you will be seeing a few more posts from me and I hope to find some more time to visit your blogs as well..  Have a wonderful week!!
