I used the Hydrangea pre-colored yellow and pink images, along with the matching Hydrangea digi paper pack.  These cards are ALL digital.  While I do love coloring, I also love that I can get perfect coloring each time when I print the colored digital image, and it's a lot faster.   Then I also, in this case, can have perfectly matching patterned papers too!

Here is what I made:  I got the 2 color images PLUS two A2 sizes of the matching digi papers AND the sentiments all on ONE piece of cardstock to print out.

Oh, and my printer is running out of color toners, so the pink printed a tad bit not the right color.... mine printed closer to a melon pink, but it really is a nice pretty rosey pink.

Turquoise Norman Snail

Hello!  

Today is the Clearly iStamp 27 challenge on the CDS blog and random winners are chosen for prizes AND one of those prizes is a cute digital image/digi paper set "Norman Snail".

The theme is to use TURQUOISE on your project.  How easy is that!?!  Come along and play with us and you might be a winner of some goodies!!  The linky to enter is at the Clearly iStamp Blog.

I made these 2 cards using ONE Word document of the digital images and digi papers arranged on it, plus a minimum amount of other cardstock for the base and a couple layers.  So easy!

Now I will say that Mr. Norman's digi set actually has a real turquoise color in it, but my color printer is low on all the colors and so my turquoise printed more like a teal  color. I made do by grabbing from my Taken with Teal stash this time, but I figure that teal is close enough to turquoise to apply to the challenge, right?

Playing with new digital images

Good morning!   After not creating hardly anything in about 6 weeks due to a very busy personal schedule, it was refreshing to get to sit and make these 5 cards.  Even though all of these images are digitally pre-colored.  Don't get me wrong, I love LOVE to color, but time just isn't always on my side, so i resort to the already colored digital graphics.

This new digital release over at Clear Dollar Stamps Kitchen clutter was first a STAMP set from a couple years ago!  I think there are still some of the clear stamp sets left, if stamps are your big thing.  I used the pre-colored images and the digital papers that come with it for my cards below.

Checkout ALL the new digital releases over at the Clearly iStamp blog and of course the Digital Design Team!

I had a lot of FUN with this digital set.  The digital papers and/or images for these 3 cards shown below were printed on just ONE sheet of cardstock!!

And now we have released a  COLOR version of the River Glorious that was a February release outline digital image.

I was able to make 2 cards from 1 sheet of printouts. 

Note the colors of cardstock I used were SU kiwi kiss, SU baja breeze and CDS toasted almond, but only because my printer is getting really low on some of the color toner.   The blue color is supposed to be more like SU marina mist / brocade blue and the green color is more like a SU garden green / wild wasabi. The tanish rock color is more like SU crumb cake or possibly sahara sand.  Just so ya know!

I did'nt have any baja breeze ribbon, so I used the inkpad and a sponge to color a piece of white satin.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I value your visit and I hope you have been inspired to go create something to send to someone special.  Wishing you a blessed week!  ~Laurie
