Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge

Made this card this morning for my nephew for Halloween! Going to submit it for the challenge over at Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge to do something Halloween! Of course the best part of the challenge is getting to use Dustin Pike digi stamps! He is sooooo talented! You can check out his blog at www.dustinpike.blogspot.com!
So, I used this Beware digi stamp and colored with copics! Then I used a bunch of scrap paper to make the card! I used the MS Drippy Goo punch for the border and of course lots of distress ink!! The "Happy Halloween" stamp was from Stampendous!

Still need to get a few other things uploaded but hope you are enjoying this stuff as much as I am enjoying coloring with my copics! Finally have mojo to do some layouts . . . now if I could just get the kids to take a nap! HAHAHA

Have a great Trick or Treat Day! ~ Heather

Shock?

I know, you are in shock, right? Me, posting 2 days in a row! What's up with that? Had time this morning to make a few cards. This is a digi stamp, his name is Roger, that my friend Debikini sent me! I used him to make a birthday card for my grandma! Used my copics to color him and then used some scrap paper & ribbon to make the card!!! WOOHOO for using scraps!!!

Been a while . . .

My dear wonderful friends . . .

Sorry I haven't been in contact much lately! I had the 2nd of my 2 carpel tunnel surgeries yesterday! Hurting pretty good this morning! About to head back to bed but really just wanted to update everyone on what's going on!

3 1/2 weeks ago I had my first CT release surgery on my right hand!! Being right handed, I haven't been able to do much the past few weeks! But here is a card I did this past weekend for a cousins "Rock Star" birthday as she became a teen!! Happy Birthday Gwynn!!


I used the Dead Doll Madison digi stamp from Dustin Pike and colored her with my copics! Also colored the old white button I found with the copics to match her shirt! Must admit that this card is a lift - Jennifer Dove- of one of Dustin's DT members! I am in love with Dustin's images! You can check him out over at http://www.dustinpike.blogspot.com/! Warning! His site can become very addictive and you just might become a stalker! I know from experience! HEHE HAHA!

I did another card yesterday using Dustin's Dead Doll Jack! I will try to get it uploaded later today!

Also, don't forget to head over to http://www.ifitsgroovy.blogspot.com/! That is where I am a DT member, if anyone has forgotten! Groovy Deb is currently posting Halloween projects daily that have been created by the herself and the DT! Lots of great Halloween projects and ideas! Hope to see you there!!

BTW: We are looking for some new DT members, so if you are interested, email Groovy Deb!

Love you all! Thanks for your hugs and prayers through these surgeries and I hope to be back in scrappin' form soon! - Heather

Friday Sketch Challenge

Happy Friday!! What a busy week. Here is a sketch I drew a few weeks ago with pictures of Carter in mind. He has so many funny facial expressions and I wanted to include them all in one layout. This sketch can be used for so many things. It could be a recap of your summer or just a fun weekend. If you use this sketch and want to show it off email it to me at guy_hs@sbcglobal.net and I will put it up on the blog and enter it in the drawing for the scrappy RAK. Here is how I used the sketch. Look at those cute little faces!!

Crate Paper-Brook Collection Product Review

What I liked:
Love the colors! I like that it is versatile enough that it can be used on boy or girl layouts. It has some great patterns and even the solid colored papers have great designs that can be used as pattern paper. I love the quality of the paper. The kit that I got included alpha's and title stickers and some great die cuts.

What I didn't like:
My only complaint was that it was impossible to find in my area. I first found it while I was in Texas and only bought a few sheets. Once I started using it I knew I had to have the whole collection.

How I used it:
I used the papers and chipboard on my "Top 10" layout for reasons why I scrap. I did add some stickles to the chipboard pieces to ad a touch of bling. I haven't used it on anything else yet. Boohoo!! I just don't want to cut the papers up. I am hoping to use it soon. Crate Paper is very addictive, I have two more collections on the way that should be delivered today!! Way to go Crate Paper!!

Weekly Round Up

This week was a busy week but I did manage to get a few things done.

This layout is of Carter he was having such a blast picking dandelions for me thinking they were flowers.

These cards I made with inspiration from the email from Archivers. I decided to make up some extra without a sentiment so that I am always prepared with a card ready to go. I used only scraps to make these. I love how they came out.
