About Christmas No. 1 by Mirtillamente Digital Stamps

Hello  dear friends.  I hope you are making progress on your Christmas shopping.  Last month, I won a Guest Designer spot for this month on the Rabisco Challenge Blog.  I was given a choice of three images and I chose "About Christmas No. 1 by Mirtillamente Digital Stamps".  Here is my card:


There are six images included with this digital stamp and I selected three of them.  They are coloured with Copic markers and FB Polychromos pencils.  I used the fabulous fabulous "Slimline Connected Rectangles" die by Whimsy Stamps.  I used glittered paper to cut it out.  I love this die!  The sentiment is computer generated.

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

The Paper Shelter 11th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop


Good morning, lovely crafters! Welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop, in celebration of The Paper Shelter's 11th Birthday on December 8th.  This will be a two week challenge, with both Design Teams taking part.

The theme for this special challenge is:  CELEBRATIONS

For my card, I used the darling "Shopping Girl" image.  I wanted to create something different so I found this wonderful free alarm clock image from PNG Logos which I thought would compliment the image perfectly.  


I used a combination of Copic markers and Polychromos pencils to colour this adorable image.  I cut the sentiment twice and offset it for added dimension and interest.

If you have arrived here from Julie R's blog, then you are heading in the right direction.  If not, then you will want to pop back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog because you do not want to miss out on this one.

As I mentioned, both Design Teams are participating, showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter.  Moreover, 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 will need to hop over to Sammy Jean's blog.  Do not forget to leave your comment for an opportunity to win your choice of one of the fabulous digis available in store.

Good luck, and I hope you have enjoyed the hop so far.  I wish you a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Fairy Christmas Eve by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

 Hi friends!  Welcome to my DT post for the new challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  Our theme this week is " A Christmas Card".

I chose the gorgeous "Fairy Christmas Eve" image.  As you probably know by now, I just adore fairies.


What a glorious image!  I coloured it with Copics and Polychromos.  I decided to use non traditional Christmas colours.  I inked around the edges of the image to create a warm glow.  I used glittered paper for the icicle borders.

We would love for you to join in the fun.  You can check out the other lovely creations by the other Design Team members. And, remember that there are some amazing prizes up for grabs.


Thank you for taking time to visit.  I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving, and here's hoping that whatever you do today, brings you happiness from morning until night.  Hugs, Lori xx
