Hello fellow friends at CYDI?!! I’m very excited to be a new member of the Design Team! My passion is paper cardmaking and digital scrapbooking…a nice compromise between the two mediums.
It is wonderful to have the opportunity to create using the digital products only available at CYDI?! In this LO, I used the fabulous digital papers from Green Goddess Creations. I hope you like it and I hope it inspires you to do some scrapping of your own!!
You can take any image and use it in a variety of ways, but it is even easier with a digi image because you can resize them, stretch them, change the colors, add other elements, etc. I have some images that are my go-to images because they are so versitile, and the LilyPink Designs Bingo Dress Form is my favorite (100% of the proceeds go to Charity Wings). I thought I would share with you a few of the variety of ways I have used this image. On the first one, I made the image larger and stretched it a bit to fit the card.
On these two cards, I made the image a little smaller. I printed one on kraft and white paper on one and layered the wings after distressing and glittering them up. On the other, I printed the wings and cut them out to use with an Octopode Factory image.
On this card, I was able to adjust the image so it fit perfectly on the die cut for my easel card:
I have a lot more ideas for this fab image and my other go-to images available at Can You Digi It?
Hugz, Nancy
Good morning everyone! I hope you’re excited that it’s finally FRIDAY!!! Woohoo! What is everyone doing for iNSD (interNational Scrapbook Day) tomorrow? Are you taking classes, going to a crop, shopping for new supplies or hanging out at home in your craft room? Whatever the case may be, remember that Michelle has stocked the CYDI? Store with yummy goodness…both digital and physical!
I have popped in this morning to share a digital layout I made of my sweet little dog, Princess Lizzi Bear. She’s a purebred Brussels Griffon…yes, the same kind of dog that was Adelle in the movie As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. :O) I used the digital paper pack called Paws Up by Green Goddess Creations and paired it with a digital image by KiniArt called Dog Heart. I just used the head of the dog to kind of match the photo and I like the way it turned out! How about you?
Thanks so much for coming by to check out my project! Be sure to come back on Tuesday for a new challenge!
Take a hop around our block and see some fabulous creations. But first, let me introduce you to the 2012 Inaugural Design Team, better known as the..
Here’s a little about April in her own words…
I am a Christian wife, mother, sister, volunteer, and general all-around nice person! I am known on SCS as aprilo and am fairly new to both stamping and blogging. I have scrapbooked for many, many years, but was just converted into being a stamper. Now, I can’t seem to get enough of it!
I love to cook and craft and frequently combine the two things!
I am pretty much a CAS kind of gal, but when I put my mind to it, I can layer and bling with the best of them!
Our next designer comes to us from the Caribbean! I have warned her that I may show up on her door step some day when the winter here in Chicago completely does me in.
Here’s a little about Patty in her own words…
I’m 35 years old and live in Dominican Republic. I bought my first Rubber Stamp August of 1993 and I’ve been hooked ever since. I first started in paper-crafting by making cards and scrapbooking that friends and family eventually started asking to purchase from me. After a couple of years, I started making invitations, souvenirs, party and home decor and personalized notecards and items that eventually became my home business! I enjoy making cards, scrapbooking and various other paper crafted projects, however card-making is my first love. I love making handmade crafts and gifts for customers and always delight them with the latest techniques or new stuff on the market.
In the summer of 2009, I was giving the opportunity to work with Digis stamps as DT member ….. Nor the less I still play, create and love my Rubber Stamps those are my truly love!!
God has blessed me with a wonderful son who’s the light of my life and that encourages me to follow my dreams, every time he said “Mom that is so pretty” I love spending as much time with him as possible can. It’s a wonderful life and I’m so, so thankful.
That wraps up our Inaugural IT Girls team, however, we have TWO very special Guest Designers who we are happy to welcome to the team….
Here’s a little about Jan in her own words…
I’m married to a wonderful man who supports and enables my paper craft addiction. We have two grade school age kids living at home and three adult children. We live in a small town in western Arizona along the Colorado River, both my husband and I have lived in the area most of our lives. I love all kinds of craft/home decor/renovation projects. I’ve been a card maker since 2004 and have discovered digital images and Copic markers in the last couple of years; I’m in paper crafters heaven!
For “work” I’m a volunteer for Operation Write Home who’s mission is:
Supporting our nation’s armed forces by sending blank handmade greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them.
I also volunteer as a design team coordinator for a paper crafting challenge blog and I’m a team member for a couple of other design teams. I’m very excited to be a guest designer for Can You Digi It!
Here’s a little about Nancy in her own words…
I am a ‘Bama girl, but my heart is still in New Mexico with the breath-taking sunsets and relaxed lifestyle. Actually, my sweet husband and two daughters have my heart and always will. I spent most of my life as a boring, type-A, task-oriented, left-brained Auditor. Six years ago, my right brain busted free and a MONSTER was born. I haven’t looked at the world the same since that awesome moment – I evaluate everything to see how it would work on a card. I am currently working on a formula using dryer lint as an embellishment – seriously!
