I've been a fan of Jo's artwork and images for many years...I believe the first card I ever made with one of her images was back in 20151 - crazy! Anyway...I saw they were having a DT call back in December and I decided to apply. Thanks for having me ladies; I can't wait to help inspire you!

I've printed the First Love Phoebe digi stamp on Neenah white cardstock (80#) and colored her with Copic markers. The main image is die cut with Stitched Rectangle dies from Kat Scrappiness. I used Distress Stain Spray plus Black Soot Distress Oxide ink pad with this stencil from Echo Park to create the second background layer. The heart dies are from Sizzix, the Love word die is FSJ. Hand-doodled border on the main image panel.

I hope you enjoyed my project today! The other new DT ladies have all created an announcement project as well, so check out the post and swing by to say hi.

Kitty Bee Designs - Aloha Friday #135: Birthday

Good morning! Aloha Friday is in full swing over at Kitty Bee Designs! Our current challenge is #135: Birthday; and this is our mid-inspiration week.


Today's card features an image from our sponsor, LeAnn's World 101. I went purple today, because I haven't used purple in AGES. Crazy, I know. Colored with Copics. Paper from The Angel Company (I know right? Hoarder...). Cardstock from SU and Neenah, dies from Gina Marie Designs, sentiment from Making Memories. Lace is from a factory my uncle used to work in in New Jersey that he gave to my mom about 25 years ago, LOL. She gave it to me when they moved to Florida. Seriously. I come by my hoardering legitimately.

Thanks for stopping by, be sure to link up your school creations over at Aloha Friday, and I hope you have an AWESOME day!
