Molly Cutie by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  I hope you've done all your Christmas shopping, or close to it.  I'm all set and even mailed my Christmas and Hanukkah cards this past Tuesday.  I feel so accomplished!  LOL  

My DT inspirational slimline card showcases the darling Molly Cutie image by Conie Fong.  This image comes with a second image which has some minor differences, and it just as sweet.

As always, I used Copics and Polychromos to colour the image, and  I drew a simple background for this cutie. The sentiment is computer generated.

That's all from me today.  Thank you for visiting.  Have a lovely weekend.  Hugs, Lori xx

Sweet Things by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Good morning, lovely crafters, and welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop, in celebration of The Paper Shelter's 12th birthday on December 8.

This will be a two week challenge, with both teams taking part. It is our way of thanking The Paper Shelter for sharing their wonderful images with us, and sponsoring our challenges. The theme for this special challenge is BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS.

I coloured this adorable image with my usual mediums (Copics and Polychromos).  The little cupcakes are from Heartfelt Creations' Sugarspun Collection paper pad.  I will admit that I love cupcakes, especially with chocolate frosting!  LOL 

If you've arrived here from Julie's blog, then you are heading in the right direction.  If not, you'll want to pop back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to start again, because you don't want to miss out on this one.  

Both Design Teams are participating, showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter, and each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice, as well as the main prize (details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog).

From here you need to hop over to Sammy Jean's blog.  Don't forget to leave your comment for an opportunity to win your choice of one the the fabulous digis available in TPS store.

Good luck!  I hope you've enjoyed the hop so far.  Thank you very much for visiting.  Have a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Garden Bouquet by Conie Fong

Greetings friends!  For those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, I hope it was an enjoyable and happy day.

Today, I am sharing my inspirational DT card featuring Conie Fong's gorgeous "Garden Bouquet" image.  This lovely image also comes with a second image called "Bootiful Bouquet".

I coloured the image with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  Then, I decided to fussy cut the image.  It's been raining and dark all day today so it was a bit hard to take a good photo.  The card does look considerably better IRL. 

I thank you for stopping by.  It's very appreciated.  Have a lovely weekend.  

Hugs, Lori xx

So Pretty!! by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello, dear friends!  Welcome to my DT post for the new challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is SHOW ME SOME BLING.  What an awesome challenge!

I am showcasing the charming So Pretty!! image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.

I used Copics and Polychromos to colour her.  I had a sheet of adhesive rhinestones by Recollections.  I used only part of the sheet for my card.  With all due respect, the card looks so much better IRL.  OK, enough bragging!  LOL
