Dustin's Christmas in July 2013...

...is available in his store (here).  This cute teddy is only one of the 50 adorable images in this release.  I've colored this image with Copic markers.  The base paper is from my stash and the pattern papers from MME "All is bright" collection. The poinsettias are metal die cuts, but I can't remember which company I got them from, sorry :-(   Enjoy!

Chase your Dreams...

I sort of scrap-lifted this card from the internet and I do not remember which forum.  I found the same or a similar die on the "My Favorite Things" website and had to have it.  This is the resulting card.  I used the die to cut a feather from the brown card stock and then cut another feather from some pattern paper from my stash and this is the result. I hope you enjoy it.

Red, White and Blue.....

Time for another challenge from the Doodle Dragon Studios DT and its host and creative inspiration Dustin Pike.  You can read his blog and join the challenge here  Join in by clicking on the "Pike's Playground" button.  This is my contribution of a flag bearing Dudley.  This involved some paper piecing that is totally new to me.  I think it turned out okay, although a little sloppy.   Enjoy!.

I made the background paper design....

...using a chevron border stamp from "somewhere."  Tim Holtz Distress Inks provided the color.  The jar and label are from a stamp collection of Mary's at Cardz TV.  The objects on the card are popped up on Stampin' Up dimensionals. The red "candies" are from "The Royal Castle Shop" on Facebook. This card was made for Cards for Soldiers.

Fiddling around....(UPDATED)

I used detail embossing powder to outline this image from "Talk about Impressions."  I used both Tim Holtz Distress Ink markers and Copic Markers on this card for "Cards for Soldiers."

Family of Nuts!

Here is another of Dustin Pike's adorable images for Operation Write Home titled "Family of Nuts."  You can pick up this image and many more at the Doodle Dragon Studios Store (here). I paper pieced the nuts over the squirrel for a little added dimension to the card making sure to keep the profile low for international mailing.  The images were colored with Copic markers.
Enjoy!
