Retro Space Girl by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello friends!  It's hard to believe that it's already April.  My favourite month of the year.  Both my sons celebrate their birthday this month so April is extra special to me.  

My DT card this week is for the The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog's new challenge (#549).  The theme is

IS IT A BIRD?  IS IT A PLANE?  (anything that flies)

I chose the fabulous Retro Space Girl by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps for my DT card, and coloured her with Copic markers.  I added some clouds, printed part of the sentiment on the sides of the image, and used a free clipart image for the sentiment on the right.

Remember to stop by The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to see more amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members.  And, if you have time, why not join in the fun?  There are some wonderful prizes to be won.

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a lovely day.  Until next time, Lori  xx

Cupcake Honey Bee by Conie Fong

Hey there, friends!  I hope those of you who celebrated Easter had a wonderful day.  

My DT inspirational card today features the delightful Cupcake Honey Bee image by Conie Fong.  I am allergic to bees IRL and I actually panic when I see one!   

This little bee is available in both PNG and JPG formats, and comes with 5 super cute sentiments.

As always, I used Copics to colour this cute image, and I drew a simple background.  I added clear Wink of Stella to the wings for a lovely shimmer.

For more amazing inspiration, head over to Conie's Facebook group where she hosts a monthly challenge.  If you join in the fun, you may win some fabulous images.

Well, that's all from me today.  Thank you for popping by. Enjoy your day.  Lori xx

Daisy Bee Bundle by Conie Fong

Hello dear friends.  Spring, my favourite season, is officially here but there are no signs of spring in my neck of the woods.  In fact, there are still some piles of snow everywhere.  Slowly, but surely, the snow is melting.  Both my sons celebrate their birthday this month so April is extra special to me.

My Design Team card today features Conie Fong's adorable Daisy Bee.  What a sweet little bee!  It's available in both PNG and JPG format. And, it comes with a short stem version.

I coloured this sweetie with Copic markers and applied clear Wink of Stella to his/her wings.  

If you would like to see more inspiration by the other DT and GDT members, and anyone else who joins in the fun, head over to Conie's Facebook group. And, don't forget to visit Conie's etsy shop where you will find some truly darling and beautiful images.

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

Rabbit Holding Daffodil by Conie Fong

Hey there, peeps!  Today, I am sharing a second card showcasing a newly released image by Conie Fong.  Conie recently released four darling little bunny rabbit images which would be perfect for Easter cards.  Not only can this sweet image be used for an Easter card, but for other occasions as well.  This sweetie is Rabbit Holding Daffodil by Conie Fong.  Here is my DT card:

I coloured this little bunny with Copic markers.  I decided that I wanted an egg frame and so I found this cute egg frame clipart by Yo Price Ville.

Rabbit Holding Carrot by Conie Fong

Hello friends, and welcome to today's post.  Conie Fong has just released four delightful and adorable bunny rabbit images.   Perfect for Easter!  Two of the new images are very versatile, and can be used for other occasions besides Easter.  That said, I used Rabbit Holding Carrot and made a non-Easter card.

I drew the background for this little cutie and I coloured him/her and scene with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  

Conie has a Facebook group where you can get some amazing inspiration.  And, she has a FB monthly challenge.  Remember to stop by Conie's etsy shop to see the rest of the sweet bunny rabbits, as well as her other beautiful images. 

That's all for today.  Thank you for visiting.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Bookworm Fairy by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello friends!  It's hard to believe that it's already mid March.  We've been getting quite a bit of snow lately.  I am not of fan of snow anymore, nor cold weather.  But, we have to take what Mother Nature doles out, right?

This week's theme on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog is 

ADD A TAG

One of my most favourite pastimes is reading.  Hence, I decided to use the lovely Bookworm Fairy for my DT card.  Clearly, she is reading outdoors, and so I drew an outdoor scene for her.

I coloured her with Copic markers, and then I added clear Wink of Stella to her wings.  I used that wonderful sentiment by Neil Gaiman because it truly captures the essence of reading.

Remember to pop over to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to see more fabulous creations by the other Design Team members.  While there, why not join in the fun?  As always, there are some amazing prizes to be won. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you soon.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx
