Digi Stamp Challenge Card

Tonight I made the card using the free challenge digi stamp from Stretch N' Bubbles Shop.

I used some pink card-stock and crayons to make the card.

Interesting Bee and A Card

I had a day off this week, so I did some yard work and look up at  the window.  I saw Clint looking at me work while he slept.

Then while I was watering my tomatoes, I saw a weird looking bumble bee.  I got  some pictures but they aren't to good.  I think it might be a bumble bee queen from the hive we have near our garage.
Here are the pictures I got of the large bumble bee:

All of a sudden it started to rain, so I came inside and made some cards using the free challenge digi stamp from Stretch N' Bubbles Shop. 

I made one using the paint option in Illustrator and the other using colored pencils.

Here are some close-ups of the computer colored digi:

Some Thank you gifts

As a thank you to those that came to our tasting, I made a thank you card and gave them an etched glass.

I used a digi stamp from squigglefly.com. 
For the envelope,  I had some clear cat stamps I used.

Here is the glass I made for my sister. She is a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin.  She loved the glass and I hope she used it to have some fun!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter weekend.  We had some great weather and were able to smoke some fish.  The fish was easy to make but we made a mistake with the amount of seasoning so it came out really peppery but was good!

Food & Coloring!

On the food front, Eric and I will be doing our first food tasting for our wedding! I am super excited to try some of the menu items we choose.  Since the caterer was the only one to get back to us, I am hoping everyone enjoys the food.  Did I mention that we will be having 4 other people to help us decide... anyway. Since I don't have any pictures of the food, I will show you something I recently did.

Last week while at work, I went on a shopping spree and bought a couple of cat related digi stamps. They are all really cute but I didn't find to many.  I did got the heart tailed cats on squigglefly.com

I am still new to digital stamps and am getting use to printing in the size I need.  This one I printed so it would fill the 8 1/ by 11 paper. I used some watercolor pencils that I have had since high school.  It was  easy to figure out how I wanted to color it.  Now I need to decide on if I want to frame it and give it as a gift or if I want to put it in a scrapbook. O.... decisions ... decisions.


In the next couple weeks, I will be trying out the digistamps I either purchase or got as a freebie from various sites.  I am going to try my hand at making some cards and I will post as I complete them.

Cat Theme Birthday Cat!

My FMIL's birthday was this past week and I wanted to use some of the digi stamps that I recently bought.  I bought a cat butt digi on squigglefly.com.  So while Clint was sunning himself, I made this card using the digi stamp and my cricut machine.
