Here is a Halloween kitty for you. This image is featured at CDAC and is the current image provided for the CDAC 20th Progressive Freebie Challenge. It was created by Priscilla Styles. I colored it with Copic markers and layered it on some Halloween-y colored papers. Thanks for stopping by.


CDAC Progressive Challenge – Surf’s Up

  • Digital image – Tiffany Doodles
  • Stamp – Hero Arts
  • Patterned paper – BoBunny “Sun Kissed Stripe”
  • Cardstock – Bazzill
  • Sandpaper

I made this card with the first image in this round of the Crafter’s Digital Art Center’s Progressive Challenge. The digital “stamp” was created by Tiffany Doodles, and I colored it with Copic markers and added some sandpaper for the sand. Just a fun card that will be shipped off to OWH so that a soldier can send a bright “hello” to someone. Thanks for visiting.


Sweet Wishes

The ice cream cone digital stamp is from Pattie’s Creations, via Crafter’s Digital Art Center’s Progressive Freebie Challenge. I printed and colored three of them with Copic markers and popped them up at different levels. Just a very simple card today. Thanks for visiting.


Card Patterns Sketch #165

  • Digital image – Odds and Soxlets (provided by CDAC Progressive Challenges)
  • Patterned cardstock – BoBunny Back to Basics
  • Border punch – Stampin’ Up “Scallop Edge”
  • Die cuts  made with Spellbinders Nestabilities “Deckled Rectangles Large”

I used Card Patterns Sketch #165 as inspiration to design this card. The digital stamp came to me by way of the Crafters Digital Art Center’s Progressive Freebie Challenge. I colored it with Copic markers with bright and pastel colors. Thanks for visiting today. It is such a busy time right now, my posts have been few and far between!


A Kitty for Today

  • Digital Image – Just Some Lines (made available at Crafter’s Digital Art Center).
  • Patterned paper – My Mind’s Eye “Stella Rose: Hazel”
  • Ribbon – American Crafts

I based this card design on the current sketch at CPS (Card Positioning System): Sketch #263. This image is from Crafter’s Digital Art Center Progressive Freebies Challenge #16 and the image is from Just Some Lines. I colored it with Copics in a Siamese-y sort of way! This will be my first card for my next box to go to Operation Write Home. I just shipped 25 cards to OWH on Friday. Thanks for visiting.

  • Patterned papers – My Mind’s Eye “Mary Mary Happy Birthday” (both sides)
  • Die cut – made from Spellbinder’s Nestabililities “Lacey Circles”
  • Button Candy Dots – Pebbles, Inc.

I used the Card Patterns Sketch #161 for this card, which features one of the bear images from the latest challenge.

Thanks for visiting today.


Basket of Geraniums Card

  • Digital image – Ike’s Art – colored with Copic Markers
  • Die cut – made from Spellbinder’s Nestabilities “Labels Fifteen”
  • Patterned papers – Black Market Paper Society “Ebony & Alabaster” 6 X 6″ pad
  • Cardstock – Bazzill
  • Felt flower – Creative Impressions “Blossoms & Leaves”
  • Paper leaf – Prima Marketing, Inc.
  • Brad/metal flower – Nunn Design “Daisy Brad”

This card features a digital image by Ike’s Art that I got by participating in the Crafter’s Digital Art Center (CDAC) Freebies Progressive Challenge. I colored the image with Copic markers. The card design is based on the current sketch at Mojo Monday: Sketch #234. I created it in response to the March ODBD challenge at Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps, which is a “Tic-Tac-Toe” challenge where I had to pick three in a row from elements on their game board. As it turned out, I managed to get two different lines of three in a row: Brads, Digi Stamp, Die Cut and Die Cut, Layers , Stripes. This was a really fun idea for a challenge! Thanks for stopping by today!

Above is a closer look at a couple of this card’s details.


Mother’s Day – Crafter’s Digital Art Center Image

  • Patterned papers – Die cuts with a View “Far East Mat Stack”
  • Die cut – Spellbinder’s Nestabilities “Labels Seventeen”
  • Cardstock – Bazzill

  • Ranger Distress Inks: Tea Dye, Bundled Sage and Wild Honey (used at edges of image and sentiment)

Here is another Mother’s Day card for Operation Write Home. I still need to step it up and make a few more before our deadline that is fast approaching. We want to make sure that our heroes have plenty of cards to send home to their moms. I used one of the current images at Crafter’s Digital Art Center provided by Pattie’s Creations, and colored it with Copics and Glaze pens. The Glaze pens give the petals some shine and dimension that is really nice.


Happy St. Patrick’s Day – CDAC Image

I made this card for the current Crafter’s Digital Art Center Progressive Freebie Challenge. I colored the digital image from Crafting with Jack with Copic markers and accented it with Stickles. I’m not used to using glitter, since many of my cards are for Operation Write Home! So this was a little stretch for me! This card will go to an Irish friend. Thanks for visiting today.
