Digi Galore Challenge - Anything Goes

Hi all!

Welcome to a new challenge at Digi Galore! We have got quite an easy challenge, this time, ANYTHING GOES! Our sponsor for this challenge is Scrappers Delights. Just click on the banner below to go to the shop!


Scrapper's Delights also generously sponsored some images to the DT to work with, and this is what I created.

Quite shocking, isn't it? This card is far from my normal style, but I really enjoyed making it! When I showed this card to hubby, he looked at me and said: "Nice, who sent it to you?" Muahahaha, he didn't believe I made it. "where are all the flowers?" I should have just told him I ran out and needed new ones. Damn, too late... :)
Anyway, I only used Copic Markers for this card. The image I used is called Crafty Honeys Painter, and can be found here. The sentiment I used is included with the image.
Skin: E00, E11, E13
Hair: E71, E74, E77, E79
Dress: R81, R83, R85, R89
Socks: Y15, Y17, Y38
Background: V15, B24, G07, Y06 YR04, R24, R81
I used a black marker to make some dashlines around the card, and added some flatbacked pearls to finish off my card.

This was it for today, I hope you all like it. Please pop over to Digi Galore and join us!

Isn't this cute girl adorable? The papers I used for this card are by Authentique, and I just love the blue colors on this paperpad!

Digi Galore - Tags

Hi all!

How are you all doing? I am doing great, a little busy, but fully enjoying my little bundle of joy! Our little girls, Tessa, is now 5,5 months old and she is doing so good! I will post some pics of her in a few days.

Anyway, there is a new challenge going on at Digi Galore! Our theme for this challenge is TAG, so we want to see your tags! Our sponsor for this challenge is FunkyHand, who are offering a $10 gift certificate to thr winner! Isn't that generous? Just click on the banner below to go to the shop.


FunkyHand also offered some images to the DT to work with, and this is what I created.

 I made a tag to go with a baby gift. The papers I used are by My Minds Eye, but they are not particularly for baby cards.

 The image I used is from FunkyHandm, and is called Button Baby Girl. She can be found here. I used my Copic Markers again to color the image, but now I look at the pictures the pink shows up really weird. In real it looks nicely blended, but I think it has something to do with the light while I was taking pics. I have used the following markers.
Baby: E000, E00, E11, E13 and R20 for blush.
Stroller: RV10, RV13, RV14
Wheels: E57, E59

The little onesies are cut with a Memory Box die, and the sentiment is handwritten with a white gelly roll pen.

To finish my tag I used some ribbon, lace and twine from my stash.

This was it for today, I hope you all like it. Please pop over to Digi Galore and join us!

Digi Galore - Use Kraft

Hi all!

I have some great news to announce! As of today I am back on the Digi Galore DT! I used to be a DT last year, but due to my rough pregnancy I had to quit. Now I am feeling much and much better, so  I am back on the DT!

Today is the start of the new challenge, use kraft. Not too hard, is it? We also have an amazing sponsor for this challenge, Art by Mi Ran! Just click on the banner below to go to the shop!

Art by Mi Ran also generously provided images to the DT to work with, and this is what I created.

I used a Dutch Doobadoo template to create the shape of the card. I used kraft card stock to create my base. The papers I used are by Basic Grey, Little black dress collection.

For my image I tried monochromatic with a hint of just 1 single color, so I didn't use that much Copic Markers. I only used E40, E41, E43, E47, E49 and R22. I actually like how it turned out. The image I used is called Isabel's bouquet and she can be found here.

To finish off my card and let that single pink/red color come back I created some flowers using Noor!Design flower dies and Distress Ink Worn Lipstick. I also added some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. The ribbon and lace I used are from my stash.

That was it for today, please stop by at Digi Galore and join us!

Hugs, Sandra

I knew you could do it! - Digi Galore DT post!

Hi all!!

The first of a new month means a new challenge at Digi Galore! This time we want to see anything but square! Not that hard right?

We also have a fabulous sponsor for this challenge! Simply B Stamps is offering 3 digi's of the winners choice! Just click on the banner below to go to their shop!


Simply B Stamps also generously provided some images for the DT to work with, and this is what I created with it!

I used an MDF heart by Let's Get Bizzee, I really love their MDF stuff!! I used some Authentique Paper to cover the heart, and before adhering it I used my Tim Holtz distressing tool on the edges. The edges of the paper and the heart are inked with Distress Ink Fired Brick.

Like I said, the image is by Simply B, and is called Knotted Ali, and can be found here. Ali is colored with my trusted Copics, and I used the following.
Skin: E50, E21, E13 and R20 for blush.
Hair: E51, E53, E55, E57
Shirt: R00, R02, R05
Pants: W00, W0, W2, W5
Chair: E55, E57, E59

The shape behind Ali is made with a die from Noor!Design. The embossed parts are also inked with Distress Ink Fired Brick. As you can see there is a hidden tag behind the diecut.

I stamped the sentiment on it. The sentiment is by AmyR, and matches perfectly with the image! I remember myself having a hard time knotting my shoes!
In the end I found out that is because the one who tried to teach me is right handed and I am a leftie!! But hey, I can still tie my shoes, that's the most important thing of it all!!
I used a piece of seambinding ribbon to tie a bow on the label

I used some flowers and pearls to finish my card.

That is it for today, I hope you all like it! Now pop over to Digi Galore, and link up your project! Remember, anything but square!

Hugs, Sandra

Our sponsor for this challenge is Beccy's Place, just click on the banner to go to the shop. Also be sure to check her blog, she has lots and lots of gorgeous freebies!

The prize for the winner is 3 images from her shop.

I chose to work with one of the freebies she offers.

The image I used is called Magnolia, and can be found here. Fun Fact: The image is release on my birthday!!! :)
Let me show you a close-up of the image.

I used my Copic Markers to color in this gorgeous Magnolia branch and I used the following markers.
Flowers: RV000, RV10, R83, R85, R89
Leafs: YG91, YG93, YG95
Branch: E55, E57
I also used a cream-colored Pearl Pen to make the dots.
The image is cut out with the largest of my oval dies, and matted with a scalloped oval.

The sentiment I used is from a clearstamp set from Whimsy Stamps, that were free with a magazine a while ago. I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink directly onto my designer paper.

The designer paper I used is by BoBunny, Little Miss collection. The lace I used is from my stash, as well is the twine. The pearls along the lace are also made with the same Pearlmaker Pen.

That was it for today, I hope you like it! Now hop over to Digi Galore and join us, but remember, you must use a dig stamp to be eligible for the prize!

The teal colored paper is colorcore cardstock, and I used an embossingfolder on it. I also used a strip of My Minds Eye pattern paper.
The ribbon was just white ribbon, but I used my Distress Ink Mustard Seed and my Ink Blending Tool to make it yellow.
