Recycling at Digistamps4Joy

Use recycled items and ADD a snowflake

 

For my recycled item I used the large snowflake it didn't exactly cut out right on the Cricut machine and I had it in my stash for quite some time waiting for the right moment to use it on something, for my snowflake I am considering the embossed circle sentiments added on snowflake as my added snowflake. This adorable digi image I know I will use over and over for a long time isn't it adorable! Jen Leeflang the artist, has just recently celebrated her 500th image being submitted to Digistamps4Joy! You must stop by the store and see all of the images from the talented ladies who designed them! Why not play and have some crafty time fun!

Lady Annes Challenges Guest Designer!

It's time for Anything Goes at Lady Anne's!

 I am the Guest Designer this week! The challenge  is sponsored by Digistamps4Joy! For my card, being the frugal paper crafter that I am, I used up more paper scraps, I'm really working hard to lighten up the scrap paper box, so I can buy more pretty papers most of all my paper was purchased in 2008 so it is time for some new pretties to play with, I just can't bring myself to purchase more when I have so much!  My image is no different, I colored it in my Color Me Creative Copic marker class taught by Suzanne Dean and even though I am not totally satisfied with the way she is colored, I cannot waste her, she must have a home on a happy card! You must stop by and take a look at the challenge, play along and don't forget leave some love!! See ya there!

September Holidays Card Swap

Another great card received from the September Holidays Card swap over at Paper Craft Planet! This card is from the fabulous card designer Claire! I love card swaps! What a great way to rid me of some of my card stash! I don't know enough people to mail my cards out to, that is why I joined swaps to mail cards to soldiers and that kicked off my paper craft addiction, but after many swaps and joining challenges the cards are not leaving my possession fast enough. The goal was not to have more boxes of stuff stashed in the closet...lol! Unlike some card makers I do not feel confident with my card making abilities to advertise to sell cards that I have made, maybe someday. I have sold cards but as a fundraiser for Backpacks for Children, for this causeI refused to make a profit. :)
