Turning Three - Paper Nest Dolls

Happy Sunday everyone! Today is my first post as DT. First I would like to mention that we have a bunch of amazing talented ladies on the DT and I look forward to seeing each of their creations. Be sure to check out their blogs which you can find links on the right column.  I am also excited to making new acquaintances and getting to know you all.  Head on over to the Paper Nest Dolls Blog if you haven't already and be sure to follow us. 

Today's card is using the image "Turning Three". Isn't she adorable? She is colored with Promarkers. The papers are from Basic Grey - Konnichiwa 6x6. I used these papers to paper pierce the dress and balloons. I used quite a bit of die cuts on this card. Die-namics small scallop flowers to create my flowers. The leaves were done using the die cut from Stampin Up. The sentiment was used by Spellbinders (circle and scallop circle). And last I used the Tim Holtz distresser. TFL and have a wonderful day.

Avery With Canvas

Happy Weekend!!!  I am sure everyone is sooooo happy that the weekend is here.  More time to scrap :)  Here in Quebec it's been super cold. -40 with the wind factor. BRRRRRRRRR.  And they say February is our coldest month.  I hate to see what February brings.  On the plus side it's a good excuse to stay indoors and craft. :)

Today I have another awesome image from Paper Nest Dolls.  I used "Avery With Canvas" image.  She is colored with promarkers.  I love this image!  I went outside of my usual colors which is girly pinks and reds and came up with yellow, turq, orange and green.  The papers are from Bo Bunny - Hello Sunshine 6x6 pad.  I paper pierced the smock.  I also cut out one of the flowers and popped it.  TFL!

Avery With Heart

Hi everyone!
It's been a few weeks since I last posted. Things have been a little crazy around here.  I've been working on some new cards and in the next few days I will be making posts to share with you.  Today I would like to show you a new line of digi stamps from a new artist.  I saw this when I was checking out Design Team Calls.  Christine the artist for The Paper Nest Dolls is an artist to keep your eye on.  Her images are inspired by her children and you'll agree with me when I say they are Super Sweet!!!  They are exactly the type of images I use on my projects. Christine and her husband are also owners of a paper crafting store in Fort Myers, Florida named The Paper Nest.

For my card I used the image "Avery With Hearts".  How cute is she?!?!  She is colored with promarkers.  The papers are from Authentique - Carefree Collection 6x6.  I paper pierced her dress.  I created the flowers using the Die-namics - Mini Rolled Roses.  I also used the scallop and oval dies from Spellbinders.  I created the tickets and used a template die to cut them.  The leaves are from I Am Roses.  The gems are Garland Chandeliers from Magnolia.  The charm was in my stash and I have no recollection where they are from.  The ribbon is from Dollarama and colored with promarkers.  TFL! :)

And yes.........I did try out for the DT.  Crossing fingers!!!!  I will know first week of Feb.  I will keep you posted.

Round & Round We Go - Pointer Gifts & Crafts

Hi Everyone! Sorry for the late post.  My desktop computer crashed - looks like it is the motherboard :(.  So I had to set up my laptop to use in the meantime. 

Today I am posting a card using an image by Dreamerland Crafts (rubber stamp line) from Pointer Gifts & Crafts. They are based in Markham, Ontario.


Today's card is done using "Round And Round We Go#D122023" image. This is from the new line. Better get it fast as Christmas is right around the corner.  The image is colored with promarkers. The papers are from Doodlebug - North Pole 6x6 paper pad. I paper pierced the ornament.  I also took out The Slice and used the Fa La La cartridge for the trees.  I popped the tree and sentiment for some dimension.

TFL and have a wonderful day!!!
