My First Digi Card!!

This is my very first digi card and the image is from Pink Cat Studio. She is so darn cute. I love their digi stamps. I was not sure how the printer ink would work with the pencils and Gamsol, but it worked pretty good! I just need to figure out how to make the images smaller.. lol.

I used my same technique on the card and then added the Crystal Effects. I used designer paper from Bo Bunny and then I added the laser doillie (sp) from Scrapbook.com to it..I also used Doodlebug's glitter paper. The embellishments are from Doodlebug and the ghosts are actually the ribbon and Maya art made the ribbon. It is such cool ribbon.. lol. It has polyfill in it to give the ghosts puffiness. Can you tell I love it? lol

The baubles are from Bella stamps. I love their baubles much more than Robin's Nest.

I am having a day filled with pain but wanted to get this card posted.

I hope everyone has a great, blessed day.

Hugs and smiles,
Lisa Marie :)

Pink Cat Studio Halloween!

Okay, I just thought these little ones were precious. If you go to Pink Cat Studio's website, you can see these cuties and the entire set. You can also see the latest Digi stamps that I just learned about. I bought a few and played with them and I think they are soooooooooo cool!! lol.. I never knew what Digi stamps were until Melissa at Pink Cat Studio told me what they were.. She was a great help! Thank you Melissa! I will post my first Digi card tomorrow. =o)

With this card, I colored the images in with the Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I used Stickles on them and then the Crystal Effects because the kids love the crystal effects. I know it lightens the image and it does not appear as nice, but kids love the feeling when they touch the images.

The stars are velvet from Doodlebug and the bat is from Doodlebug as well.. I put Stickles on the bat and googly eyes. He needed to be jazzed up. LOL.. I did the same with the spider. I had to give him eyes.

The ribbon I think I got at Michael's. It was so long ago, I can't remember.

With God's help, I am feeling a little better today. My fever is down and I am not in so much pain. Woo hoooo.. =)

Many hugs and smiles,
Lisa

House Mouse Halloween!

I loved this House Mouse stamp and sentiment so I made a card with it for the kids at Yale. I embossed the sentiment and the brads are all new from Doodlebug for Halloween. Aren't they adorable? I loved them. lol

I added scrappers floss and then flowers to the card and painted the flowers with Shimmerz to give them shine.
The bat is from Doodlebug and I just added eyes to him and glitter. I love my bling! lol

If you go to 7kidscollegefund's blog, you will see that Tab is giving away a year's subscription to Crafter's Magazine. Check out how you can win a subscription. :) Thank you Tab! :)

I am off to rest.. I have so much stamping I want to do and can't.. Ugh.. I am hoping I feel better this afternoon and can do another card.

Hugs and blessings,
Lisa Marie :)

Tilda Halloween!

This Tilda stamp is from Magnolia's last years Halloween Stamps. I love this Tilda witch. I used Doodlebug glitter paper to make half circles. I added the sentiment from Pink Cat Studio and the ribbon is from Bo Bunny. I had the pumpkin stickers for ages and finally got to use them. The bats I used glitter on, they were too plain when I received them as a gift so I added glitter and googly eyes to them. lol. I added glitter paint to the Prima Flowers to make them shimmer and then added scrappers floss to them.

I will be adding another post in a bit with information on a gift Tab from 7kidscollegefund is doing for anyone who makes a card for the children at Yale New Haven Children's Hospital. What a great gift she is offering. Thank you Tab!! :)

Happy Stamping!
Hugs and smiles,

Whipper Snapper Halloween!

I am starting Halloween card and I made this card from an old Whipper Snapper Stamp. I used ghost ribbon that my uncle and mother bought at a scrapper's store near Newport, R.I. I loved the ribbon and I even cut a few ghosts to put up on top of the card and I added googly eyes. The ribbon is puffy and I think these ghosts are so darn cute.

I used my same techniques and I added a spider from Doodlebug and gave him eyes and glitter. The sentiment is from Pink Cat Studio. I love the stamp set for Halloween that they just put out. I have been busy making cards with the new set.

I used laser paper on the card from Scrapbook.com. They have such great laser paper. It is fun to use on the cards.

Thank you for peeking and I hope everyone has a great day!
Love,
Lisa xo

Sugarplums! :)

Okay, yessssssss, I am having a hard time letting go of summer! lol.. lol.. Oh boy, I think if I keep making summer cards that somehow summer will not leave us.. hahahaha!
I love these stamps from CC Designs. My daughter loved the colors so much and my favorite colors are pink and orange so I her this card.

I added the Magnolia sun to the card and cut it out and then added it with dimensionals. The sand and the shells are from Hawaii. The ribbon is from Carina. The paper, gosh, I have to think.. lol.. brain fog.. or maybe it is the blonde and Polish in me that has me always thinking.. lol..Oh, it is from Stampin' Up!'s new designer paper and then I added Doodlebug glitter paper to it too. The brads are all from Doodlebug.

If I feel better this afternoon, I am going to start a few Halloween cards. I think it's time. lol.

My fever is down this morning but I am in such pain that the next step is a PET Scan to see everything inside my body. The scan is truly amazing. It can see nerves in your body, tumors.. you name it. It is an expensive scan and you can see much more than with an MRI.. It is so expensive and the insurance carriers do not like paying for it. I am glad I am finally approved to get it after a month of waiting for the approval.

Hoping everyone has a great day!

Many hugs and smiles, :)

Loving Doraline!

I made this card for the kids at Yale with cancer and I loved the colors. Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I used the same techniques I always use and added embellishments from Doodlebug and ribbon from Carina.

I have still been running a fever and after being on Cipro since May, the doctor is changing the antibiotic. We have no idea where the infection is even with all of the CT Scans and blood work I have had. How frustrating!

I hope everyone gets some time to stamp. My Mom was so cute when she said and I think this is so true, we all take a stamp and "bring them to life in such a magical way." Isn't that the truth! lol.

Many hugs and smiles,
Lisa :)

I love Doraline!

As sick as I have been, I think of children with cancer and I asked God for the strength so I can make them cards.. I will be giving them to the children at Yale on Friday when I see my doctor at Yale. :)

I made this card, it took me three days and I am happy with the way it turned out. I colored in Doraline with the prismacolor pencils and then shaded her with the stumps and gamsol. I used Stickles to glitter parts of the images and I later used the Crystal Effects for a three d dimension effect.. the kids love to feel the cards. I added flowers from Stampin' Up! those are the crocheted ones.. and the designer paper is from Doodlebug and Stampin' Up!. The buttons were added and I used scrappers floss along with brads from Doodlebug. The ribbon is from my favorite on line ribbon store which is on the right of my blog. You can click on it to bring you to Carina's store. :)

I hope everyone has a great day.

Many blessings,
Lisa :)

P.S. Did everyone see the new stamps that Motivet has come out with? Oh gosh are they are so darn cute! lol

CC Designs!!

September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. I have been busy making cards for the children with cancer at Yale and did another boy card. I loved the way this came out. I think this has to be one of my better cards.. lol.. I loved the summer stamps from CC Designs and I bought all of them. I loved how this little guy came out.

I added the real shells on the left of the card and they are from Hawaii. The ribbon is from Carina and it is like a mesh material.. almost like a net which was perfect for the theme of the card. The sun is from Magnolia. I am so hooked on that sun.. isn't that precious? lol.

I started spiking another fever earlier today and my daughter came home from school and took the picture of the card for me. I really need to learn how to use my new camera and use photobucket. These pictures do no justice to the cards. Ugh.. if there was only more time in the day.

Have a beautiful and blessed day,
Lisa Marie :)

In the midst of me being sick.. I have been making cards for children at Yale with cancer. I never make ones for the boys and I finally started getting some done for them.. I love, love, loveeeee Motivet stamps. They are so adorable. The sun stamp is from Magnolia.

I used the same techniques that I always use. I used paper from Stampin' Up! and Doodlebug. I used a lot of Doodlebug brads on this one.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day and gets to stamp.

Have a great day everyone!

Blessings and smiles,
Lisa :)
