Coffee Break II by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  It's that time again.  Time for a new challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog (#569).  This week, the theme is:

CLEAN & SIMPLE 

I rarely make clean & simple cards because I find it a bit difficult.  For this challenge, I chose the cute Coffee Break II image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I am a big fan of coffee, and I drink two big mugs every day.  Here is my DT card: 

I coloured the image with Copic markers.  The coffee cup is an image that I found on etsy.  The sentiments are computer generated.

There is more inspiration by the other Design Team members on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  Be sure to check it out.  You will not be disappointed.   And, time permitting, why not join our challenge?  There are always some awesome images to be won.

Thanks so much for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Lori xx

Broomstick Emily by Conie Fong

Hello friends and welcome to today's post.  Halloween evokes such fond memories for me.  It still makes me smile when I think of all the good times my kids and I had back then.

I made my DT card with one of Conie Fong's recent releases.  Meet the adorable Broomstick Emily by Conie Fong.  This is my second card with this sweet image.  

She is coloured with Copic markers, and I drew a very simple background for her.

Conie Fong has a Facebook group where you will find some marvelous inspiration and her monthly challenge.  If you join in the fun, you may win some really sweet images.  And, Conie has a giveaway which ends on October 7, 2023.  So, what are you waiting for?  LOL  

Thank you for visiting.  I wish you a lovely day.  Until next time, Lori xx

Broomstick Emily by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  My DT card today features Broomstick Emily by Conie Fong.  She is one of two new releases.  I love the fall weather, and the temperatures here are finally cooling down.  I also love Halloween because it brings back such wonderful memories of my kids when they were young and went Trick-or-Treating.  Here is my card:

I decided to draw a background for this cutie.  The image and background are coloured with Copic markers.  I then stamped some tiny cobwebs around the wall and added a little ghost die cut.  The black kitty is a very old stamp which I had in my stash.

Conie has a monthly Facebook challenge.  If you have time, why not join in the fun?  There are some adorable images to be won.  If you want some amazing inspiration, just visit Conie's Facebook group.

That's all from me today.  Take good care of yourselves.  Lori xx
