Leaf All Your Cares Behind!

Hello, my friends!

I am back today to share my project for Deedee's September Digi of the Month Challenge.

This digi is called "Leaf Your Cares Behind" and you can find it in  Deedee's Shop...on sale for only $1.25!

It's another wonderful set with numerous images and sentiments!

As always, Deedee's digi sets come with pre-coloured images, or ones you can colour yourself.

 I chose to use the pre-coloured image this time.

I also used one of the sentiments that were included in the set.

The papers are from my all-time favorite Fall paper collection, which is the Indian Summer by Basic Grey.

I'm trying to make this paper last as long as I can!

Although it looks like quite a few complete layers on this card...it's not.

I  actually diecut the pieces and fit them all back together like a puzzle. 

That way I even had enough paper to punch out my matching leaves!

Here's my card:

Materials Used:

Papers: Basic Grey - Indian Summer;

Image and Sentiment: Deedee's Digis - Leaf Your Cares Behind;

Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities - Decagons;

Punch: Martha Stewart - Rose Leaf;

DRibbon: Offray Sheer;

Sequins: Craft Medley.

Deedee's Digis - July Digi of the Month Challenge

Hello, my friends!

Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians! :o)

Today I am sharing my project for Deedee's July Digi of the Month Challenge.

This digi is called "Ice Cream Truck" and you can find it in  Deedee's Shop.

As always, Deedee's digi sets come with precoloured images, or ones you can colour yourself.

 I chose to use the coloured images for my project.

I must say that I'm really enjoying the option!

Plus, these sets are really loaded with multiple images and sentiments!

 I didn't make a card this time.

What I did make is an 8 X 8 cover page for my Summer album.

My husband is a huge fan of ice cream.

During the Summer we often stop by Tim Hortons, 

and then nibble on a cone while walking at the river. 

I enlarged one of the sentiments included in the digi set.

It made the perfect title banner for my page!

Materials Used:

Papers: Recollections - Cardstock, MME - Lime Twist;

 Image: Deedee's Digis - Ice Cream Truck.

February Digi of the Month Challenge at Deedee's Digis

Hello, my friends!

You may remember that last month I made a card using a free digi that I received from Deedee's Digis.

I linked it up to the January challenge, and just for doing that I received another free digi.

I used this one to make a Valentine card for my daughter and son-in-law. 

She doesn't usually come to my blog unless I tell her there's something to see.

I'm hoping she won't suddenly pop in before the card arrives! ;o)

I'm linking this one up for the February Digi of the Month Challenge at Deedee's, 
and then I will receive another free digi to make a project in March.

Isn't that fun?

This digi is called "Forever Friends" and you can find it HERE.

It also comes pre-coloured but I opted to colour mine with my Spectrum Noir markers.

Here's my card:

Materials Used:

Papers: Recollections - Cardstock;

Image: Deedee's Digis - Forever Friends,

Spectrum Noir Markers;
