DIGI STAMP-FEST!!!

Hey there ladies!! How are you? Hope you and your families are well!! I think MY family actually is!! And I mean EVERYONE!!! Haha!! Imagine that, would ya'!! Ok......so, I know I have been sharing some of this Digi stuff with you lately!! Well, can we just say, I have officially gone DIGI crazy!!! Haha!! I mean, REALLY!! They are everywhere, so you just can't help yourself!! And girls? They are just TOO darn sweet!! In many ways!! I have been all over this blog world....scoping it out!! I have acumulated a FEW, mind you, and I am here to share some of the creations that came out of my scoping adventure!! If you haven't ventured into the Digi world yet? You have to give it a shot!! I went and bought one of those little drive things? You know, for storage? I have moved ALL my Digi's there, so they are all together and aren't taking up room on my laptop!! Of course, I have created individual folders for each company!! Alright...I know, I know...let's get on with it, right?
This first creation was made using a Digi image from, The Sketching Stamper!! I had seen this image SOMEWHERE and HAD to find it!! Alas...I had and here it is!!! I think it is SO neat!! I didn't add a whole lot of extras, because I didn't want to take away from the AWESOME image!! I think next time I will try it with some dressier paper! Is that a word?? Dressier?? I don't know, sounds good to me and I think you all know what I meant!! I finished this card with a sentiment from Verve!! SO perfect for this!
The next creation was made using an image from Charmed Cards And Crafts; completed with an ATS, AMYR sentiment!!! I just think Holly & Madison are SO unique!! Although I don't know which one this is?? I STILL couldn't resist getting her!! When you get these images? You get a whole bundle!! Gotta LOVE that!!
That leaves us with my last one, for this evening! This is a Modern Sugar Blvd image, and I finished with a Unity sentiment. In fact? This is a NEW release, over at MSB!! You know what makes this, What's Cooking, image even better? I WON this image, from MSB, during their Bingo night!! Along with winning this image?? I WON THE WHOLE NEW RELEASE!!! YAY, me!! Hey...YAY MSB!!! Those Sugars are SO nice!! They are SO generous too!! Thanks again Modern Sugar Blvd!! I can't tell you how excited I was, as I am sure you would be too!!
One last thing, before you go!! I know I am getting a TAD lengthy here, SORRY!!! I had mentioned having some exciting news?? Well......one of those things was my MSB prizes and another has to do with my KYAH!!! If you have followed me, for awhile, you will know that Kyah likes to create; right along side of me!! She has seen Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesdays' blog and a few other kids. She wanted to have her VERY OWN blog! She wants everyone to see her "stuff" too, as she put it. So....we have worked together, to make that happen!! Kyah is SO excited!! You would NOT believe it!! Her blog is ALMOST ready and I will UNVEIL it here, in the next few days!! She has SO much to share with everyone and it can't get done fast enough!! Haha!! The last thing I have to share can wait until tomorrow!! Thanks SO much for stopping by and reading this WHOLE thing!! At least if you got this far? You are STILL awake!!! Haha! Let me know which creation is your FAVE!!! Remember...my blog is still in the construction phases and should be done soon!! If you see something that is NOT quite right? It probably isn't and still needs fixed! Have a GREAT THURSDAY!!! ENJOY LIFE!!!

A TRIP DOWN MUSHROOM LANE!!

Hey there ladies!! How are you this fine evening?? I just got back from the grocery store. YAY! What fun, huh? I have a couple of questions for you tonight and a NEW stamp I have finally inked up! So...first the questions. I have been SO busy sharing, lately, that I am almost out of envies!!! YIKES!! I NEED to find the regular white A2 size, the clear ones, and I think I would like to try some square ones. That being said....do any of you have a GREAT place to get these? I know, I know....I AM a SU demonstrator!!! However, with $6.95 shipping?? I really would like to see what else is out there! Ya know what I mean?? This Chick is a LITTLE thrifty! Let's face it....I have to be....and who doesn't now a days??!! Right?? Ok....next question. Someone had told me, but, I can't remember who it was. I would LOVE to find the Cuttlebug,Snowflake embossing folder. Now, not the one with the circles around them though. Do you know which one I mean? I can't even think what it's called! Oh well, anyhoo....I have looked several places and they are out of stock, of course!! Not that I NEED to buy another thing!! Hehe! Then again ......well....you know! I am sure you are right there with me! Hehe! If you have any ideas for me, that would be great. I just wonder though, how bad do you think shipping would be on that ONE folder?? I really SHOULDN'T buy anything else to go with it. Although, there is something to be said about snowflakes AND snowmen! Haha! I would LOVE any and ALL suggestions!! I just wish I could find these things at ACmoore or Mike's!! NO SHIPPING!!!

Alright, before I bore you ABSOLUTELY to death.....here is my creation to share! I got this Mushroom Lane stamp from CHF, before Christmas. I am just now inking it up!! Imagine that!! I wasn't even sure I had a block big enough! I used my Mello BG paper ,by Basic Grey ,and my SU CS. I also used my Prisma markers and a Unity sentiment. Gotta LOVE the Unity sentiments!! I hope you like it!!

Oh yeah....before you go. I broke down and checked out Paper Planet! Holy Stampers!! Lots of people having fun over there!! While I was there, I joined a few groups! YAY!! I LOVE to share and make new friends!! One of the groups is "Madelyn's Twinkling Tuesdays". I am sure I butchered the name, but, they are such GREAT, TALENTED ladies and welcomed me to their group!!! I am SO excited! I am going to try and participate in this weeks' challenge!! If I can swing it, I will be back yet tonight with my card! Hope you'll stop back! ENJOY LIFE & enjoy your trip down Mushroom Lane!!!

YAY!! THE GREETING FARM!!

Happy Sunday everyone! How is your day going?? So, you all know how I have been loving these Digi's, right? Well!! Check it out!! I visited THE GREETING FARM and guess what?? You betcha!! They have some Digi's too!!!! YAY!!! Now, I think someday I will be investing in her other stamps as well, but, for now??? I LOVE this Unicorn!! Marie, over at THE GREETING FARM, is SUPER nice!! I was having some issues with printing the image out and she REALLY was GREAT!!! So, if you want to try some..... go see Marie!! She was SO helpful and quick to get back to me!!! I used my Basic Grey SU CS, along with my Basic Grey BG paper. Hehe! How do you like that? I am a Basic Grey kinda gal! Haha! Anyway, I hope you like it; let me know what you think! 'K?

If you have some time, you also have to stop by Javablustamper & Friends. I am heading over there, when I am done here, to post the next challenge. Hope you'll play along! I could go on and on, but, I think I'll stop here, for now. I will be back tomorrow! Thanks for visiting with me and remember always........ENJOY LIFE!!!!!
