Digistamps4Joy New Release Sept. 28, 2014...Birthday Wishes

It time for a new release again at Digistamps4Joy, my but the time seems to be flying by. And our fabulous artists have really outdone themselves this week. But before I get on with the new release, I would like to announce the winner of my small gift for our 100th Challenge Celebration. I'm so sorry that I am late announcing my winner. For some reason my brain told me I had put the end of the month, but when I checked I had put the 24th. So I do apologize for the wait. There were only 2 comments so it was quite easy to pick...so my winner is #1 UT's Hobby Time! Congratulations please send me an email at charlenebell2@hotmail.com with your full name and address and I will get your prize out to you asap.

And now back to the new release. This week I got to play with an image called Record Player that our new artist Riette drew up. It's such a fun little image. My mom was looking for a birthday card while she was here and asked if I could make one up for her, so this is what I came up with. 
I coloured the image with my Prisma pencil crayons and oms. I cut it out with my Nestibilities Square Scallop (I think that what it's called lol). The background is an image from the Silhouette store called Musical Flourish and the Happy Birthday is also from Silhouette. The rhinestones and musical notes are from my stash. 

 Thanks so much for dropping by. I hope that you will head over to the Digistamps4Joy Challenge Blog and check out all of the other new images and the fabulous creations my team mates have come up with to inspire you.

Put On Your Dancing Shoes

Hi all, it's time for another New Release with Digistamps4Joy and boy do our artists ever have some fabulous new images for you! I have been lucky enough to see 3 of the new images and can just imagine what the rest are going to be like. The image that I chose to showcase this week is by Margy and called My Ballgown...oooooh it is so pretty and such a dream to work with. 
 I coloured it with my Prisma pencil crayons and oms. I also added some white highlights with my white gel pen.


And this image is so versatile. Grad cards, weddings, anniversaries, birthday's...this image can do them all. I decided on a birthday card though as I have lots of birthdays coming up in the near future. 

I used the sketch from Colors and Sketches Sketch Challenge.

Baby Boy: Digistamps4Joy Challenge #99 - Circles

Hi all, I know, it's been a very long time. Sorry I haven't been around for a long time. I have been dealing with some medical issues for a family member and have not had very much computer or crafting time.

So today marks the half way point for Digistamps4Joy's current challenge. The challenge is being hosted by my fabulously talented team mate Asmah and she wants to see circles! That's right, she wants some sort of circle made of paper on it...you can even add circular embellishments if you'd like. I chose to add circles to my card as I don't have a circle die that is big enough to make a card sized circle. Yeah I know, I could have traced a plate or something and cut it out, but that was too much like work right now. So the image that I used is one that was just release 2 weeks ago called Baby Rattle. We have had a lot of babies born to nieces, and friend's daughter's lately so I figured I would stock up on baby cards. 
Now originally I was going to heat emboss the entire rattle using some embossing felts that I have, but wow...it took me so long just to do the areas of green that I did that I decided against doing the rest of it embossed.

So now it's your turn to show us what you've got. Just head on over to Digistamps4Joy's Challenge Blog to check out the rules and a list of our fabulous prizes. And while you're there check out what my incredibly talented team mates have come up with to inspire you.
