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!

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. :)

Gina K Challenge - Faux Window

Good evening,

Thought I would share a Gina K Challenge I completed for this week, called Faux Window. It looks a little more difficult than it really is. I started off with a 3.5" square white piece of Gina K Luxury White Cardstock, stamped my ornament image twice (masking one over the other), then covered both ornament images with masks (used Post it Notes) and stamped the branches around the ornaments. I then cut the 3.5" square and assembled the rest of the card.

I didn't realize until I was done that these would be pretty large ornaments to be hanging outside, and that the weight of the ornaments would probably cause then to fall off the branch in the first place, but I guess that's what imaginations are for (anything is possible).

Have a great night!

Silent Night

Hello! Hope you have been having a fantastic weekend. It's been a busy but exciting one for me, as Friday Night I want to the One of A Kind Stamp and Scrapbook show with my friend Barb, and yesterday I travelled to Evanston, IL with my friend Scott to watch the Wisconsin-Northwestern Football game. The Badgers lost 33-31, but it was still a wonderful day as it was a good football game & the weather was great (especially for mid-November).

At the stamp show Friday Night, one of the sets I picked up was the one I made today's card with, called Blessed Christmas from Our Daily Bread Designs. This is the first time I can remember them being at this stamp show. Some of the display cards were absolutely stunning. Anyways, I fell in love with this set. This card also uses two other things I purchased Friday night, Labels 8 Nestabilities, and Fancy Tags Shapeabilities. I have been wanting the Fancy Tags for awhile so I was glad I was able to find them! The size of this card is 5.5" X 5.25".

Have a super evening! More FUN news tomorrow!
