It's time for a new challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge, and this week the theme is Add Black or Bling, and I added a bit of both!

 

Using Serif Craft Artist I imported a coloured background from a Katy Sue Designs CD, and layered the Tinker Sassy digi image on top (including the reflection of Tinker Sassy - changing the transparency of the image to make it really really light) , printed it out and coloured in the digi.

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge over at Lacy Sunshine!  The theme is Anything Goes, and we all love that one, so come and join in!

I used the gorgeous Lil Bows Tin Soldier image, I absolutely love her!  And used some papers from Bazzil that I have had for a while, but didn't want to use because they are sooooo lovely! LOL!  So I "broke" into the pack today and used parts of two pieces of paper and one piece of card - gulp! :-)

So why don't you pop on over and join in the challenge as there are plenty of prizes up for grabs!  For the random draw there will be 2 winners: 1st prize - 5 digi images, 2nd prize - 3 digi images of choice from the Lacy Sunshine Shop.

Its Anything Goes at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge # 149

It's time for a new challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge, and this week the theme is Anything Goes - we all love this theme!

I had this cute Christmas image to use from Stamping Dragon Designs, and I decided to go for a simple layout with this one which I created in Serif Craft Artist, and a smaller 5" x 5" card - if like me, you have a ton of Christmas cards to make a few fairly quickly and simple cards can be just the thing!  Oh and who says that dragons can't be purple! :-)
