Digiments Sneak!

The Digiments release is this Saturday! Here's my first sneak peek but be sure to check out all the festivites at the Digiments blog. There are some amazing tutorials for new ideas on how to work with Digiments plus amazing inspiration from all the Digiments designers!

ICS #33

I've been feeling much more creative now that I've settled into school. My schedule this week hasn't quite normalized yet but I'm back in school mode at least. So when I got the time to be creative (i.e. decided some of my readings can wait until tomorrow) I went right to ICS to find some inspiration.

This summer my boyfriend and I spent quite a bit of time hiking and taking wildlife, specifically bird pictures. I printed extras of some during Walgreens recent photo week but sometimes the bird was quite small in the picture. I think I need to zoom in for better scrapbook pictures. But I have these prints now that my boyfriend took and I find quite inspirational. So inspired by the Paper Crafts Mag blog's mention of photo cards I decided I would turn the photos into card embellishments much like a stamped image might be used. So for this week's sketch at ICS I used the picture of a common yellowthroat warbler and GCD Studios paper. The orginal picture is below. What I like best about this card is I can see it equally being a wall hanging, scrapbook page, or a card really its just how you look at it.

Speaking of design teams, the Digiments design team, myself included, have recieved the new September release and are busy making projects with the awesome new sentiments. Also Michelle has a fabulous surprise this month that I know will make many people even more eager to get their hands on this month's Digiments.

ICS #26 Guest Designer

Even though I'm away I've scheduled this post because I'm once again honored to be guest desinger for ICS for the week. Love the sketch this week because blocking techniques can be challenging but I love the clean simple effect they create. That fun sentiment is from the July release of Digiments and you can get the entire collection for only $10! Be sure to check out what all the other fabulous designers did at ICS this week.

Digiments Release Day

Today is the Digiments July release! There are 24 brand new Digiments for sale for only $10! Here is my card featuring the Sistah line. Check out the site for more examples of how to use these brand new sentiments.

Digiments Sneak Peek

Tomorrow is the big day! Digiments is releasing 24 brand new Digiments for just $10! You will get baby sentiments, everyday card sentiments, inspirational sayings and many more.

Head on over to the Digiments blog to see some more wonderful sneak peeks and get ready to order your new Digiments tomorrow.

'Oh Say Can You See' Blog Hop

Welcome everyone to my stop on the Scrapbook News and Review "Oh Say Can You See" Blog Hop! If you came here from Sonia Kertznus you are on the right track. If not you can start from the beginning at SNR. I have a fun easy project to share and a little bit of blog candy to sweeten the hop.

First up here is my red, white, and blue project. I had this plastic packaging from a set of brads bought at Micheal's. Since my sister is a big fan of sweets and patriotic fun I thought I could add a little paper and some candy to make a gift. I trimmed the paper to fit the little compartments with SEI paper and put a themed candy in each one. That awesome little sentiment is from Digiments and part of the Patriotic collection of digital sentiments. These sentiments are incrdibly affordable and there is a wide range of sayings for many occasions. I'm currently working with the July release and am so excited to share it with you on the 18th.

Now onto the bit of blog candy! This is my 150th post! I didn't realize I would get so into blogging but its so much fun to particpate in challenges and connect with other bloggers. So between the post count and the blog hop I thought it would be a perfect time to celebrate with some candy. These are handmade paper flowers that I will package with some other (non-handmade) scrap goodies. All you have to do to win is leave a comment. Anyone who is a follower and leaves a comment will recieve two entries. You have until Sunday (7/5) at midnight to enter for the candy. Check back later in the week to see if you have won. Have a fabulous fourth and continue the blog hop at Paper Crafts, Pass It On! Happy hopping!

Happy Tuesday

Here's some different projects I've worked on recently but am just sharing now. The Father's Day card was made for the Let's Scrap Design Team. Right now the design team is in a bit of a transition as some great new members are added. You can see the rest of the Father's Day cards at the DT website. Also as you might recognize this card was made with a Digiments digital sentiment. Digiments door buster sale is over but you can still purchase all 30 Digiments for $20!


This little gift card holder was made using packaging from some small pens I bought. I covered it in cardstock and then decorated it with some SEI papers. I think it will be great for many occasions. I'll leave you with another picture from our recent hikes. This is a female Common Yellowthroat Warbler. We saw her and a male at the same time and it was a very exciting find since we have not seen them before or since. This week we are planning some very early morning birding trips so I should have some other interesting pictures to share soon.

Digiments June Release

The new June release of Digiments is today. There are 30 new Digiments in six lines and this weekend only you can get the entire release for $10! This card is made with one of the contest Digiments that you can get for free on the site. This card was also made the sketch at ICS this week. Loved the simple sketch. I used my new pack of GCD Studios paper. I accented the card and paper with Stickles. Head on over to the Digiments site to see the DT work and all the new sentiments.

Sneak Peek of Digiments

Here's a sneak peek of one of the brand new Digiments. Michelle is releasing 6 new lines for a total of 30 Digiments this month. This sentiment is from the incredibly useful Simple Sentiment line. It includes six phrase that are appropriate for many occasions. Remember you can get all 30 brand new Digiments for $10 when you order this weekend. So check out all the sneak peeks so when the doorbuster deal comes this weekend you'll know what you're in for. The card was made with a paper piecing pattern from Scrapbooks Etc and BG Euphoria papers.

Non-Crafting Pictures

So I've been doing some scrapping lately but much of it is under wraps because it was for my design teams and for magazine submissions. But I will be sharing my DT stuff very shortly. In the next few days I will show you sneak peeks of my Digiments cards in preparation for the release on the 13th. Also during the release this weekend Michelle is running a huge sale on the already extremely affordable Digiments. You will be able to buy the entire June release of 30 Digiments for $10!

These pictures are from the hikes my boyfriend and I have been taking lately. We decided we needed a good summer activity to do together and he used to hike a lot a a child plus we have lots of local trails. So we've gone on a couple of hikes a week since we finished school. We've seen lots of wildlife and I'm determine to carry the camera out more. I hope to catch lots more good pictures so scrap of our many wildlife sightings.

Hope you are enjoying the summer as well and that'll you'll stop by later this week to see the new Digiments, I know they'd help many make some fabulous cards.

Digiment on a TPE Sketch

Digiments is holding their second weekly contest. This means that if you head over to the Digiments site you can download a free Digiment and then when you use it to make a project and link it back to the site you will have a chance to win the entire June release. This is a BIG prize filled with 30 brand new Digiments! But after you see how fabulous and fun these Digiments are to work with you won't have to worry about waiting until June because May's Digiments are available now for only $1 each! So head over to the site and check out the contest. I combined the contest Digiments with the Pink Elephant sketch challenge. I love how the simple sketch opens itself to so many possibilities. The DT over at TPE has come up with some fabulous stuff this week. For the card I used GCD Studios Spring All Over papers which I'm still loving even though spring has past.

Cuttlebug Challenge and Pink Elephant Inspirational Play Along Featuring a Digiment

When Michelle sent me this week's Digiment for the weekly challenge I knew it would be perfect for a gift so I combined with the Cuttlebug 3D challenge and Pink Elephant Inspirational Play Along. I loved the bright color and flowers of the plate that was inspiration at the Pink Elephant so I incorporated that into my project. Also since the Cuttlebug challenge was for something 3D not a card I was determined to lug the bug out. I embossed the background with swiss dots and cut out the flower in the corner.

The Digiment I used is part of the weekly challenge over at Digiments. If you make a card with this free sentiment you will be entered to win the ENTIRE June release and if the May release is any indication it is a prize you will be using over and over. So hop on over to Digiments and get your free stamp to enter to win.

Caardvarks and Card Patterns

First I want to let you know that Digiments is gearing up for a new contest/giveaway and this card is a huge hint about the challenge so join us on Monday for a free Digiment and your chance to win BIG!

I made this card for the Caardvarks quote challenge while following this week's Card Patterns sketch. Digiments makes so many fabulous quotes that pretty much any of the Digiment cards I've made these past few days would have qualified for the Caardvarks challenge. I love the simplicity of this week Card Pattern because you could make a cute card in no time with it. I used Basic Grey Boxer papers and my EK Success punch for the scalloped edges which is a bit hard to see.

Here's my two cards for the Digiments release. There are 25 new Digiments being released today. They are being sold for $1 each or you can buy all 25 for $20.

These cards are both from the Inspirational set of Digiments.

I've made another Digiment card but I'm in the middle of moving out of my dorm so I'll share it tomorrow.

Digiments Challenge

Over at Digiments there is a challenge to win the entire May release! Having seen the release I want to assure you that its a BIG prize and full of lots of sentiments you can use over and over again. The best part is when you participate you get a free digital sentiment. This is the card I made with the free sentiment. So head on over and pick up your freebie to make an awesome graduation card (those are coming up soon) or maybe a card for a friend who's starting a new adventure in life. Remember the release date for May is this Wednesday. I'll be providing some sneak peeks of what I've been working on in the next few days as the release gets closer and closer. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!
