Lily's First Valentine's Day Card!

This is the first card I've created with my new digital stamp Lily.......scroll down to the last post or check under freebies for your copy of Lily. I made this card for Lily's Daddy (my awesome hubby) for Valentine's Day.......Lily is Daddy's Little Girl!

The beautiful papers I have used came from Pink PetticoatI love this company.....they have the most awesome papers and I can shop at midnight if I choose! The dies are from spellbinders and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts . The heart box came from Michael's and I painted it with acrylic paint then coated it with modge podge before decorating. Lily was colored with copics.



And my Little Lily was made with fimo.

This is my first digital stamp so I would love some feedback, actually if you find something wrong please let me know.....I learn from my mistakes! You should be able to right click on her and save to what ever program you use for printing your stamps,
then crop her to what ever size you need.I will be posting a card with her soon and would love to see what you create!

Have a Very Blessed Day!

Lily and Friends!

Hello Everyone!

Hope your Christmas was a Blessed one I know mine was!

Ever since I found digital stamps and papers I have been hooked. I am a child of the microwave generation......must have it now! I love to sit in my bathrobe late at night (after a hard days work) and shop! To be able to get my stamps and papers instantly is a dream.

If you are like me you have to make time to create around all the other busy things you must do everyday. I became fascinated with how to create your own digital stamps and did a little research on what I needed then asked Santa ( aka my awesome husband) for a

Wacom digital tablet and a new laptop.

If you follow my blog you know the passion in my life is God,

my family and friends and my little Yorkie Lily!

I could not find a digital stamp that I liked to represent little Lily, I wanted to make a card with her on it for her daddy ( my hubby )

for she is truly Daddy's Little Girl........so Lily & Friends was born!

I am in the process of creating these stamps now but would love your input. I will be posting a free stamp of Lily in her heart sweater soon.....have to clean her up a bit first but here is a preview. I am also working on a tutorial for coloring her with copics.

Please leave a comment with any suggestions you may have, it is much appreciated!

Here's Lily!

Have a Wonderful and Blessed New Year!

Merry Christmas Little Sis!

Back in November I was asked to be a Featured Guest Designer at Digital Delights and I was so excited and honored. I made this set using the adorable stamp Stocking Toby which is available at their digi store Digital Delights by Louby Loo

Isn't he the cutest!

I couldn't post till now because this was made for my Little Sis Debbie

for Christmas and I didn't want her to see it.

I call her Little Sis because she is 10 years younger than me!

My baby sister and my best friend......I luv you!

The papers I used are by DCWV from their Holiday Stack.
The Circle Sentiment is from Cat's Life Press and the tag sentiment is computer generated. The pretty poinsettias are from Michaels. The scalloped circle die cuts were made with my circut and I colored this adorable stamp with my copics.

And my little figure is made of Fimo. I so love to give these as gifts!

I just love these LOTV Christmas stamps! I made this set for someone special but don't want to ruin the surprise by telling their name......they will just have to wait til Christmas!


I used digital papers from a company called Nitwits which I love! No waiting just buy, download and print. I have the Epson 1400 which prints 12 x 12 papers and is wonderful for scrapbooking too. My little stamp is colored with copics and the sparkle is Star Dust stickles.


And my little manger set is made of Fimo.

Oh Come Let Us Adore Him!

I had sooo much fun making this Christmas card! I haven't used my cricut in ages and when I found this adorable little stable at http://www.myscrapchick.com/ I knew it would be perfect with this adorable stamp from http://www.liliofthevalley.c/ o.uk I colored this image with my distress inks, added lots of star dust glitter to the star and angel. ! The accent around the stable is just some fringed yarn I had in my stash and the sentiments are computer generated.

And of course the little figure is made of Fimo.

My First Digital Scrapbook Page!

Just had to share my first digital scrapbook page! Boy was this a challenge. First I had to learn how to use Photoshop Elements which isn't a walk in the park, but after I mastered the layers it all seemed to fall together quite nicely. I did this page while sitting in front of my TV just relaxing......no mess to clean up! The digital papers I used are from Nitwits and these kits are quite addicting

(aren't they Janie)!

The handsome young men on my scrapbook page are my grandsons AJ and Joey.
We were just fooling around in a costume store right before Halloween.......
boy did we have fun!!

Grammy loves you guys!!


Have a Blessed week and thanks for visiting!
