Drummer Raccy Plays for You!

Today, Digital Delights has released a new set of Christmas images!  They are soooo cute!  You can check out all the new images in the Christmas collection on the web site.

My card features Drummer Raccy and new digital paper.  I added Stickles to the drum and hat just to spice things up a bit.

You have probably noticed that I also picked up a couple of the new Spellbinder dies from my local scrapbook store.  I really like the lacy ones!

Trick or Treat with Digital Delights

Halloween is coming up and thought I would make a card for my sister-in-law.  Even though this card has a cute character I made it to be more adult-like with the designer paper from Memory Box - Blackbird.  This paper is a little darker, more spooky. I also followed this weeks Mojo Monday sketch.

I don't have many orange embellishments so I ended up making my own flower using the technique I posted about last year. Of course I had to add a little orange Stickles.

Hostess Monday at Digital Delights

Over at Digital Delights I am the Hostess Monday Designer this week.  I decided to show off some of my Digital Delights scenic cards.  Since making scenes is one of my passions I thought I would share how I have used Digital Delights images to make all kinds of different scenic cards.

Hop over to Digital Delights to see the whole post, but I thought I would show you three of my all time favorites step card scenes.

Have a great Monday!!
