Digi Doodle Shop #125

Well, y'all, I'm sorry to say it's time for the final Digi Doodle Shop challenge.  I just adore this shop and these ladies, and will sorely miss working with them and these fabulous images.  For our final challenge, it's 

Anything Goes!

That's right, anything goes, and this challenge will be open for (2) weeks.  You have until 9/26/12 to enter this final challenge.

I used Snow Bunnies, available in the Winter section of the Seasonal category in the store.  This is one of my absolute favorite images from DDS.  Those bunnies are just so darn cute!  The image was colored with Copics, then Stickles were added to the edges of the snow to give it that winter sparkle.  Papers are from DCWV, the snowflake border I created using a Martha Stewart punch, gems are from my stash and the sentiment is a new Hero Arts clear stamp.

Want some more inspiration?  Head on over to the Digi Doodle Shop challenge blog to see the beautiful creations by the rest of the team.

I really hope y'all will play along with this final challenge.  There will be three winners:
1st Place - $15 gift certificate
2nd Place - $10 gift certificate
3rd Place - $5 gift certificate

Also, don't forget...all images are only $1 until the store closes on September 30th.  (That will make those gift certificates stretch even further!)

If you do decide to purchase some images, please mention my name (Starla) in the special instructions section.  I would very much appreciate it!  =D

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to see your creations in our final challenge.

Sad News...

Hey y'all.  Well, I'm here today to bring you some sad news.  As you all know I have been on the Design Team for Digi Doodle Shop for about a year now, and I have loved their stamps for much longer than that.  After thinking long and hard, Digi Doodle Shop has decided to close their doors as of October 1st.  I know that many of you are fans of theirs as much as I am and will miss them sorely.

However, along with the sad news, there is some good.  From now until September 30th all Digi Doodle Shop stamps will be only $1.  That's right, just $1!  That is QUITE a steal for these gorgeous images.  Head on over to the Digi Doodle Shop store to stock up now.

If you do decide to stock up, please feel free to mention my name (Starla) in the Special Instructions column.  You don't have to, but if you do I'll be getting some free stamps, and I'll be eternally grateful.  =D  No matter what, please head on over and stock up on all the images you want before it's too late.

Hugs!!

Digi Doodle Shop #123

Hey y'all!  It's Thursday, which means it's time for another Digi Doodle Shop challenge.  Exciting, yes?  This week the theme is:

Vintage

As y'all probably know, I've been trying to get all of my Christmas cards done early.  So...voila!

I used The Perfect Tree, available in the Christmas section of the store.  I just think this little scene if perfect for a vintage Christmas! Image colored with Copics, then Stickles added to the fur and snow.  (Spica markers were used for the pines and ax.)  Then the image was edged with Distress Ink in Pumice Stone.  The papers are from Creative Memories.

This honey won't be put in the store until after the 2nd collection of Villains is released, which may not be until October!  If you must have her now, head on over to the SSD Store!  This offer is only good until Midnight PST (California time) on Monday, August 27, so hurry!  =D

Vicious Villains

Hey y'all, welcome to the Sassy Studio Designs Vicious Villains blog hop!  Are you having fun so far? You should have come here from Kathy's blog.  Wasn't her card fabulous?  If you've just stumbled upon my post, make sure to head over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to start at the beginning.   You definitely don't want to miss out on any of the prizes!

So, here's my card showing off the fabulous Maleficent Honey image. 

Isn't she marvelous?  She is definitely one of my favorite villains of all time.  =D  She was colored with Copics.  The purple paper, bats and spiders are from my stash.  The grey and white papers are from Basic Grey's Eerie collection.

Now, part of the release is to give our favorite Disney movie.  That's really hard for me; I have so many good memories associated with Disney movies from my childhood, and I love them all.  Oliver and Company, The Sword in the Stone, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, The Rescuers, Aladdin...there are so many to choose from!  However, I finally decided my favorite movie is...

The Aristocats!

I just adore that movie, and one of my favorite songs is Everybody Wants to Be a Cat.  Magnifique!

SSD Freebie Friday - Mermaid Mandy

Good morning, and happy Friday!  Oh my gosh, I'm SO happy it's Friday.  It has been such a long week...but a good one!  I had two ultra sounds this week, but Bean is doing just wonderful.  He's the right size, all the pieces are there, heart's normal...I'm so relieved.  =D  How is YOUR week going?

Well, it's Friday, so you know what that means...time for another Fabulous Freebie Friday over at the Sassy Studio Designs Paper Craft Planet group! Woot woot!  Ready to meet today's freebie?

Here's Mermaid Mandy!

Isn't she adorable?? She was colored with Copics, then Glossy Accents were added to her eyes and Stickles were added to her tail and hair.  The fish dp is from my stash, and the blue background is actually white paper that I colored with Momento chalk ink.  The seaweed frame stamp I got at a used stamp sale ages ago, sorry I don't know who made it.  I stamped in versacolor in sage green, then embossed with Bridal  embossing powder.  Turned out more white than green...but I guess you learn something new every day. =D Embellishments are from Jolee's Boutique.  Sorry the picture is kind of dark, but I really wanted to show off all the sparkle.  It kind of reminds me of being in the ocean, a little dark, but lots of sparkle from the sunlight coming through the water. =D

Remember, we are in the middle of our fortnightly challenge over at Paper Craft Planet.  The theme is still Slippery When Wet, and you still have a week left to play along.  Why don't you head on over to the group to see the rest of the DT's projects, grab today's freebie, and join in the challenge? 

Remember the freebie's only available for 24 hours, so hurry on over!  Just look for the discussion with today's date. Not a member of Paper Craft Planet yet?  It's easy and free to join.
