My Favorite Things 2022 Card Design Superstar Contest

Greetings!  I hope you had a happy weekend.  I came across this amazing 2022 Card Design Superstar contest hosted by My Favorite Things and I decided to enter it.  You can chose one of three categories.  I chose the Clean & Simple Genius Category.  

I love dragons and so I used a delightful little dragon from the BB Magical Dragons stamp set by My Favorite Things.  The sentiment is part of the set as well.

The clouds were made with My Favorite Things Premium Stencil (Cloud Stencil ST-099)

I used a combination of Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils to colour this adorable image. 

That's all from me today.  Thank you for visiting.  I wish you a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Cupcake Dragon by Conie Fong

Hey there, friends!  Today, I am sharing my DT inspiration which I made for Conie Fong's current Facebook challenge.   This adorable little guy is Cupcake Dragon by Conie Fong.  I wanted him to enjoy his cupcake in peace, so I drew a calm scene around him.  

As always, I used my trusty Copic markers and Polychromos pencils to colour the image and scene.  

Conie's FB challenge runs until the end of this month.  So, why not join in the fun?  There are some truly darling images to be won.  

Thank you for visiting.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Halloween Witch Kitty by Aurora Wings Digital Stamps

Greetings friends!  Halloween is almost upon us and that always makes me smile because I have such cherished memories of my children wearing their Halloween costumes (which I made) when they were young.  They are adults now but I still send them Halloween cards and a special treat!  

I made this card some time ago and never posted it, so here it is.  It features the adorable Halloween Witch Kitty by Aurora Wings.

I used Copic markers to colour this super cute image.  The flower is handmade and also coloured with Copics.  The stamens were originally white but I coloured them with my trusty Copics.

That's all from me for this post.  Thanks so much for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Buffy n Friends by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps

Greetings friends!  Welcome to my DT post today for Digi Doodle Studios.  Halloween always evokes such warm and wonderful memories for me.  My kids and I very much enjoyed decorating the inside of our house, as well as the outside, for this fun holiday.  My sons loved wearing their costumes to school, and taking part in the parade outside the school while proud parents watched them.  Then, we would go Trick-or-Treating after dinner while their dad waited for other Trick-or Treaters to visit our house.

This sweet image is Buffy n Friends by Digi Doodle Studios.  I drew the background except for the haunted house.  Copics and Polychromos were used to colour the image and background.

Digi Doodle Studios has both a challenge blog and a Facebook challenge.  The Theme this month is CREEPY CUTE / SPOOKY / BELIEVE IN MAGIC.  

This will be my last post for Digi Doodle Studios because they are shutting down at the end of this month.  Why not visit their etsy shop before they close their doors?  DDS will, however, continue to create adorable clear stamps, dies and more on Ink n' Splatter.  

That's all from me today.  I thank you for visiting, and I with you a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Happy Witches Brew by Digi Doodle Studios

Hello friends!  Halloween always brings back some wonderful memories of my children when they would dress up in their costumes and go Trick-or-Treating around our neighbourhood.  What fun they had!  Of course, I would drive them to each house.  I also had a lot of fun making their costumes.  

The theme on the Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog this month is CREEPY CUTE / SPOOKY / BELIEVE IN MAGIC.  There is also a DDS Facebook challenge.

I chose the fabulous Happy Witches Brew by Digi Doodle Studios for my DT card.  I just had to draw a background for this cute witch.  

I used a combination of Copics and Polychromos to colour the image and background.  The cobwebs and the cute little black kitty are stamps that I have in my stash.  

I am really sad to inform you that Digi Doodle Studios will be closing its etsy shop at the end of this month.  So, hurry over and visit before they close their doors.  They will, however, continue to produce clear stamps, dies and more on Ink n' Splatter.

Thank you for visiting.  I truly appreciate it.  Have a lovely day, and take good care of yourselves.  Hugs, Lori xx
