Inktegrity Blog Hop

Welcome to Inktegrity's Spring Hop!

You probably just visited Tammy's blog. If not, the entire blog hop is listed in order below. This is a celebration of the awesome Design Team and all of you who create with Inktegrity! All of these images that you see on our blogs were created by request of each member. Along the hop, there is a letter for you to collect - no need to unscramble as it is spelled out for you. Simply email the phrase to jonjinko@hotmail.com with the phrase in the subject line and she will email the freebie image to you. In addition, be sure to leave a comment on the Inktegrity blog (the last on this hop) so that you are eligible to win your choice of 5 of these images!!!

Now on to my card and image:

My niece Tavi had her one-year birthday last month, and one of presents was a big red wagon. So when Joni offered to create images for each of the DT Members, I knew I wanted a wagon full of toys just like Tavi's red wagon! I totally LOVE this image!!! This is the image that will be available in the store, but Joni was so sweet in sending me a personalized wagon image with Tavi's name on it that I will share later on a another project. I chose to use this week's Crazy 4 Challenges blog sketch to create my card. I colored the image with a combination of prismacolor and copic markers. The DP and Brads from the Basic Grey Cupcake collections (one of my favorites!) and my primary card stock colors are Gina K Rocking Red, SU! Pacific Point, and SU! Kiwi Kiss. I also used some Pacific Point SU! Ribbon, and the green ribbon was in my scrap bag, so I'm not sure of the vendor.

For this hop, my letter is "O"

Now you can continue on to Melissa's blog to see another special image. Thank you so much for coming by!

Inktegrity ~ Get Crafty!

Hello!

It's release day over at Inktegrity! And this little crafty girl is today's release, isn't she cute? I used some of my Sweet Pea DSP from the SU! Occasions Mini Catalog to paper piece her dress. I haven't done much paper piecing with digital images so I'm loving how she turned out.

Happy Monday!

Card Patterns Challenge!

Hello!

Inktegrity is sponsoring this week's sketch challenge over on the Card Patterns Blog! I couldn't wait to use Bella's Truck again for a card! So here it is! The sketch for this week's challenge is below:

Have a great Saturday!

Inktegrity ~ Love Bug

It's day 3 of the February Inktegrity Releases, and I'm super excited to share this image with you today! This one is Love Bug. There is so much you can do with this image to make it all cute and adorable. The "lady" bug is all glamoured up with pink K&CO Bling for her eyes and headlights. I used a spica glitter pen to outline the wheels on both cards to give it a little more sparkle (hard to see in the picture ~ sorry!)

If you love this image, as well as the other two images that were released this month, you can go check them out at Joni's Inktegrity Store.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Inktegrity ~ BEEP BEEP!

Hello and happy Terrific Tuesday, and Day #2 for the new Inktegrity releases! If you haven't noticed, this months releases all have a common theme, wheels! This is Emmitt's Jeep. :) It's the perfect image for a hip boy's birthday card which is what I did above! My primary colors are Only Orange, Tempting Turquoise, and Green Galore. The headlights are Basic Grey Brads. Not sure where the ribbon is from, I have a bag full of ribbon scraps I'm trying to use up!

Hope you enjoy, and have a super day! There will be one more adorable image tomorrow, and I can't wait to *bug* you all with it! Tee-Hee!

Hugs ~ Laura Jean

Inktegrity ~ Bella's Truck

Hello!

This is one of the adorable images for the February Inktegrity Release, Bella's Truck. There are actually two bella trucks (one of which I will share later) but when I saw this one with the back end empty I knew It would look just adorable with a pile of valentine buttons just stacked up!

I colored the image with prismacolor markers, and then used a rub-on for the sentiment. I love white rub-ons because they show up so nicely on darker DP and cardstock!

More tomorrow! Gotta go Vrrrrrooom!

Inktegrity Sneak Peek

Hello!

Sammy the Seal is here for Inktegrity Sneak Peek Day #1, isn't he cute? I'm calling this card "simple sammy" the simple card, with the wonderful quote just go hand-in-hand I think!

Simple Sketch ~ Simple Card

Greetings,

Made ONE card this weekend, must be getting close to Christmas! :) I got all of my wrapping done today. I discovered this year, that it takes longer to wrap presents when you have an 11 month-old niece to shop for! :-)

This sketch was this past week's MOJO Monday Sketch ~ and actually this has been one of my "go-to Sketches" for swaps and when I need to make more than a few cards. I like the sketch because you can really use it for either a horizontal or a vertical card. I used one of the december Inktegrity images and some Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper. The snowflake border is a Martha Stewart Border Punch that I love. :-)

Hugs ~ Have a great evening!

Inktegrity Day 3 - Classy Shopper

Hello!

I hope you are enjoying all the Integrity new releases so far, they've been pretty frosty huh? Makes you want to turn the heat up and cuddle up with a nice warm blanket! Anyhow, it's day # 3 of the Inktegrity Releases, and all of these adorable snow people images are ready in the Inktegrity Store today.

Today's card using the new Classy Shopper image is also for the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog! Intkegrity is hosting the challenge this week, which was to use an Inktegrity Image, tag, hidden message and glitter! Yep that's a challenge alright. :-) So I came up with this hidden message card. I added a message on the tag (below) which pulls out from the side of the card. As you can see, I didn't miss out on putting a little pocket on the side to stash a little shopping cash for that classy shopper. :-)

Just a quick note about the glitter part, I used Terrifically Tacky Tape (Provo Craft) which is by the sheet (2 6"X8" adhesive sheets) and punched out a snowflake with my Marvy Snowflake punch. The Tacky tape is basically super sticky double-sided tape, and it's perfect for glittering up punches :-) I used SU! Cosmo glitter on my snowflake.

Have a great Tuesday!

Inktegrity Day 2 - Bear Hugs Pizza Box

Hello!

Time for another new Inktegrity image, and this time I did a little 3-d project, a mini pizza box. Super cute and easy I think. The box took about 4-5 minutes to cut, score and assemble. If you would like to try it, check out the tutorial on SCS. The box is 4" X 4" and 1" high, perfect for gift cards, jewelry, gift cards etc.

We use to have a store in McFarland called the Village Bear Shop located in the historic McFarland House while I was growing up.It's one of the oldest buildings in McFarland. The store had all the neatest Bears, and cute toys. For some reason, this cute image made me think of that store. I bought my first wood-mounted rubber stamp from there (which I still have!) , a teddy bear nonetheless! The store is long gone (a cute cafe now is in it's place), but I remember going there and being in awe of all the adorable (and some expensive) stuffed bears they had.

Be sure to check in with the other DT Blogs to see what cute stuff they have come up with using Bear Hugs ~ direct links are on the side bar.

Inktegrity Day 1 - Winter Wonderland

Happy Sunday! It's release day #1 for the mid-december Inktegrity Release. If you read my post from last night (below if you still haven't seen it!), the wintery snow theme is continuing on my blog (and outside ~ where there's over 16 inches LOL). This is Inktegrity's new Winder Wonderland image, isn't it precious? I decided to use a square card format (5.5" by 5,5") for this image & keep the colors bold and bright. This image would be perfect to use on a card for a little boy or girl to give to his Grandma, Aunt, or other special lady for the holidays! It would even make for a cute teacher card!

Be sure to check out the other Inktegrity ladies to see what they are doing with this cute new image:

MOJO 116 - Inktegrity Style!

Here's my card for this week's MOJO Monday Sketch, love all these circles! I'm using an Integrity image (Sundae Best). It's hard to see in the card, but I embossed the white areas, and it's a little shimmery! :)

For those of you that are affected by mother nature's winter blessings this week, I hope you stay safe and warm. We have been getting hit hard with a major blizzard (16+ inches of pretty white snow with high winds and colder temps yet to come) . Most everything is shut down. So please be safe if you are out there on the roads.

Inktegrity Release Day!

Happy December!

Today all those sweet images I have been previewing the last two days go on sale at the Inktegrity Store (designed by Joni). I saved my favorite idea to use with these images for today's posts. One of the great thing I have discovered (no new news to anyone else) is how flexible digi images are, you can virtually make them ANY size you want. Most of the time when I design a card, I think the sentiment needs to be smaller than the image, so not the case here! Wouldn't this be a perfect card to give to your spouse? The black and pink makes more like a romantic Christmas card, and the sentiment "Some things were mint to be" is just perfect for that occasion. I also did not use traditional christmas DP for it, that beautiful shiny black DP is from a retired SU DSP called, Rockabilly. :-)

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hugs ~ LJ

Inktegrity Preview Day 2

Hello! It's preview day #2 for Inktegrity Designs, which means the release is tomorrow! Here is my preview card for today, using the North Pole image from the Sundae Best collection. The image was colored in with Prismacolor Markers.

I also used a bunch of punches on the card, which was Saturday's challenge on the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog

Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT to see what they have come up with, as this image has so many possibilities:

Inktegrity Preview Day 1

I'm so excited the day is finally here and I can show you the latest Inktegrity digi images that Joni has created! This is one of the new releases, isn't is sweet and yummy? I colored the image in with prismacolor markers, and used Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper that was RAKd to me by Kate (Celestial_Stamper on SCS). The snowflake dies are from Spellbinders. I also used this weeks Tuesday Morning Sketch for this card.

Don't forget to check out what the other Inktegrity DT Members are creating with this adorable image, which will be on sale in her store on December 1st. :)
