I got this new digital image from Mos Digital Images and I thought it was adorable. She is out riding her bike with her wind in her hair, and of course I had to add a tornado like scene in the background. She is an old tough cookie, she can handle it!

I used two cuttlebug folders, Traffic Jam and Swirly on the Green cardstock. My mummu is colored in with Prismas

I used my Momento Ink Dew Drops with a extra large sponge duaber for the rainy background.

Used my handy dandy Ms Word to print out the sentiment which I think is just too funny!! The Ribbon came from my stash, It is old lace, perfect for grandma!

I created this card for the victoria case challenge blog.

the challenge was to use pink,orange and white. I used the skater image from VC and I put it in my image program and made it unique by adding a reflection to the skater. I made the clouds with my scallop punch and chalks. My papers are Basic Grey Mellow Line and I used my favorite Pencils and OMS to color her in.

This was alot of fun to do!

I used the new victoria case digital stamp (I sound like a commercial for victoria case don’t I?). I used my sewing machine to stitch both the outside left and around the Paper Trey Ink gorgeous Paper from the hodge podge collection.
I cant wait until tomorrow to see what victoria comes out with next! This card is for sale. Leave me a comment if your interested. :)

Victoria Case Challenge #6

Filed under: . — Tags: , , — Melissa @ 6:31 pm

I did another Victoria Case Challenge.
I love this new digi image I just bought from her, it is called The Shopper.
This challenge was to create a card using one of her images as well as Black Kraft and Red Cardstock. I dont own any Kraft, but brown came pretty close. I colored the shopper in with my prismas and OMS. I cut her out and added an extra dog and extra packages. A girl can never have enough packages! Those dogs are too darn cute, Their collars are embellished with glossy accents. The red scalloped square was embossed with my dots cuttlebug folder and that fantastic paper is from Basic Grey. I also used my ek success swiss dots punch to make that fun pattern on the black piece.
Oh I do want to mention how you all can save alot of money on sentiments! Instead of spending money why not just look through your favorite stamping company, find that just right sentiment and then get a free font from fontspace.com and then create it in word. More than likely you will find the same font they used :) That is what I did with this sentiment :)
This is one of my favorite images of Victoria Case so far. I cant wait for her new release on the 10th!

I won this stamp at a contest over at SNR Universe and I finally got around to using it. I love love this stamp! I used Gina K’s Embossing tutorials and I am in Love with this technique!!!
I used Stampin Up Purple Cardstock, Momento Ink and a cosmetic sponge for the shading, my yummy Prisma Pencils with OMS and of course my scalloped nestie dies. Now I want more nesties! hehe….



Have a good day!

Victoria Case Challenge #3

Filed under: . — Tags: , , — Melissa @ 9:46 pm

Here is a another Awesome challenge over at VC challenges!!
The sketch this week is this. It is nice and easy but of course it took me hours to decide on the color scheme. hehe

I used the Angel sitting on a Halo image called Angel Heart from VC, and colored her in with my prisma pencils. The background paper is from K&CO, I used some really nice ribbon on my recent trip to Hobby Lobby. I also picked up a big bag of buttons, so cute on cards! I faded out the white on the image a bit with some martha stewart green chalk. I think it makes her look like she in the clouds.
I hope you enjoy your day.

Victoria Case Tara Image

Filed under: . — Tags: , , , — Melissa @ 8:22 am


I am little late for this challenge, the winner was already picked, my room is such a disaster I couldnt get in their sooner.  I used the free image from Victoria Case, the challenge was pink, black and white.  I colored her in with my copics and used paper I had in my stash. Cant decide on a sentiment yet, they are packed away. Once I am finished painting, I will add one on to this card.

Isnt this the cutest image?? This is a digital download from Squigglefly, called For You, I think I am becoming obsessed with digital images. The graduation hat is a Clip Art file I found on google images. I made the turtle extra big so I could make a 5×5 card. I finally used my stickles, they have been abandoned for too long. Poor guys! hehe.



Love using digital because it doesnt take up any room! No more storing stamps, Just throw them on my backup drive and thats it!

Dont forget you can also use clipart, just resize and print out.

Missing You!

I love this Sugar Nellie Image called Carefree, she is so carefree and so not worried about life. Just wish I could hang out like this and not think of doing chores, especially the laundry.

I used my pencils to color her in. I like to use pencils for more detailed images. I did the ribbon technique here too. It may become my signature. The patterned paper is from paper studio, i have a bunch of miscellaneous paper, it just so happened to match!

This is my gorgeous daughter holding this card!

Have a great day.
