Me Edit

Again, I used Photobucket.  This is what I did:
Adjustment:   Autofix, Vibrance up to 98 and cropped it.
Effect:  Default - Amber
Then saved it.

 

Summer Stitches

It is Wednesday and that is Stamp-n-Doodle time!  This time we were to use real stitches or faux stitches.  I used faux;)  I am using the Pippa Summer Fun image.

I am also using the current sketch at Fetch-a-Sketch.

Thanks for looking!
 

School Card With a Fancy Fold

It is The Doodle Garden's September Challenge. The theme is school.  I did a gate-fold card for this challenge.  Seriously thinking of getting a new paper trimmer.  Some of my cuts came out uneven.

School Card

Hi ya'll!! It is the last week before school starts. Crudola...school;)

Well, time for a new challenge over at Stamp-N-Doodle. We are to use sparkle .I glued orange gems all over the card and added blue glitter in the middle of the big flowers on the paper.  Not to mention the orange sparkly brad on the flower.

I am using the current sketch from Fetch A Sketch.

Layers and A Rant

First, I am just so glad I have friends.  Thank you for listening:)

Second, it is Stamp-n-Doodle time!!  The challenge this week is to use layers.  I am also using the Mighty Sea image.  I colored this image mostly with the computer.  I changed the color from black/grays to blues, to bring out the water and sky.  Then I added a sunburst for the light.  Now the rest of it was crafting.  I added glitter embossing powder to bring sparkle to the water and colored the rays and the base of the lighthouse.

I say this because there are people out there who actually think digi stampers are a lower form of paper crafters!  I read the Stamp & Scrap magazine from the library and their comment section lately has people writing and complaining about people who use digis.  They say it is not stamping cuz we are not using rubbers.  I do own rubber stamps but digis are cheaper and free if you look around blogland.  Go to Free Digital Stamps and they have a post everyday of blogs giving away a free digi.  I print my image out and most of the time color it in with markers and pencils.  We are all paper crafters...why get angry with the medium we use??  Just wanted to put my 2 Cents in.
Thanks for looking and thanks for my friends:)
 

Should I Stay Or Is It time To Leave??

Lately, I have been thinking of my social networking hobby.  I am no longer getting that high feeling.  Been like that for a while...long while.  I haven't even played on Pinterest for a few months!!  I am even losing that Instagram high.  I don't know what to do.  I find myself staying off the computer for days except to check Facebook now and then.

So, here is my belated Stamp-n-Doodle post.  We were supposed to use flowers, die cut, ribbon or lace and two design papers.

Lynne also has new images including the one I am using now!  So adorable!!  Check it out at Stamp-n-Doodle' store.

Thanks a lot for looking:)
