OWH Midweek Throw Down, Gettin' Digi

Tracey of The Stamping Boutique shared a pair of digital images with us on the OWH Stars & Stamps blog. This little sweetie is one of them. I had fun taking her in a little different direction than Tracey intended but I believe it will make someone happy to receive it all the same.
Thanks Tracey!

Window on the World card

Summer Haven 2010 is getting going. http://www.stamphaven.com/ I have a couple of challenges including this fancy fold card.
Here are the instructions which you are welcome to print out for your own use. Right click on the diagram. It will open in a new page. Then print. That's it!
You can cut out the window anyway your want, die cut, Coluzzles, punch, scissors or craft knife. Just be sure you only cut the one side of the card!

Lastly this is the front of my card. Have fun!

Stars and Stamps sketch #22

Here is this week's sketch which I love.
I know, it is the beginning of summer and I am making a back to school card! The image is a freebie from the Clearly Vintage blog. The word paper is a black printing on white core advertisement I ran through a Sizzix using one of their embossing plate before sanding off the raised black parts.

I'm sorry I can't remember where the pretty French label came from. The green print paper is DCWV. The blue background is stamped with a Cornish Heritage Farms scrapblock. The creamy 3 D sticker had just the right spot for a bit of bling.

Mo in multiple

A few weeks back on the Mo's Digital Challenge blog they asked for us to merge multiple images from her line of digital stamps. I printed out a couple of ideas and then got distracted. So now they are done and here they are. Late but still.... The 2 boys are separate digital stamps and the sentiment is an actual rubber stamp. Imagine that!
On this one I just used a single image multiple times but fading it out. Sentiment was added in PSE. I use PSE for most all my digital stamping. The coloring is all done with Prismacolor pencils.

101 posts!

I'm so surprised to find I have made 101 posts on this blog. Last year when I started it I had only the Memorial Day blog hop for Operation Write Home in mind. Guess blogging is more fun than I expected, lol.

This card uses the current sketch from the Stars and Stamps blog and another of the digital images Sandy created and shared during this years Memorial Day Weekend blog hop. Thanks Sandy!
