Poinsettia Sprite by Aurora Wings

Greetings friends!  I made this project a number of years ago but never posted it.  I decided to try my hand at a book folding candle.  

I coloured the adorable "Poinsettia Sprite" digital image by Aurora Wings with Copic markers.  Then, I proceeded to fussy cut her.  Unfortunately, she is no longer available. 

I found a video on how to make a book folding candle. See here.  This was somewhat tedious but well worth it. Once I finished the candle and hot glued the ends together, I glued it onto a flat lid.  I glued the little sprite onto the front of the candle, and decorated it.  I placed a tee light candle at the top.  And voila...a book fold candle!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy holiday and a wonderful new year.  Hugs, Lori xx

Christmas Lilly by Moondrea Designs

Hello friends!  I decided to join the monthly Moondrea Designs progressive challenge this month on Facebook.  This gorgeous image is Christmas Lilly by Moondrea Designs.  The challenge will run from December 1 through December 31.

I coloured this beauty with Copic markers.  The sentiment is computer generated and is backed with QuicKutz "Bottle Cap" die. I added some sparkle on the candle's flame.  Here is my card:

That's all from me for this post.  Take good care of yourselves.  Until next time, Lori xx

Candy Cane Boy Elf by Conie Fong

Greetings friends, and welcome to my post today.  All my Christmas cards are finished.  I learned a long time ago to not wait for the last minute to make my cards.  I am sharing my Design Team card which showcases the delightfully sweet Candy Cane Boy Elf by Conie Fong.  This image comes with two other adorable elves in both JPG and PNG format (8 images in all).

This little guy is coloured with Copic markers.  I added some sparkly red ribbon and a clipart sentiment. 

Conie has a Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group where you will see some amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members and other crafters as well.  Additionally, Conie has a YouTube channel called Draw with Conie where she teaches you how to draw simple images.  Awesome, right?

Have a lovely weekend.  Hugs, Lori xx

Candy Cane by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  For those of you who celebrated Independence Day, I hope you had a wonderful day.  It's hard to believe that July is upon us.  Time flies too fast!

It is always a good idea to start making Christmas cards early.  I learned that lesson years ago.  That said, here is my DT inspirational slimline card using Candy Cane by Conie Fong.  This is part of Conie's Santa Gnome Gift and Sentiment Bundle.

This fabulous image is coloured with Copic markers.  The sentiment is also part of Conie's Santa Gnome Gift and Sentiment Bundle.  I added some Swarovski crystals on all the corners to balance the red colours.

If you have some time, why not visit Conie's Facebook group?  You will find some amazing inspiration, and she hosts a monthly challenge where you can win some adorable images.

Thanks so much for visiting.  It is very appreciated.  Until next time, Lori xx

Buffy n Friends by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps

Greetings friends!  Welcome to my DT post today for Digi Doodle Studios.  Halloween always evokes such warm and wonderful memories for me.  My kids and I very much enjoyed decorating the inside of our house, as well as the outside, for this fun holiday.  My sons loved wearing their costumes to school, and taking part in the parade outside the school while proud parents watched them.  Then, we would go Trick-or-Treating after dinner while their dad waited for other Trick-or Treaters to visit our house.

This sweet image is Buffy n Friends by Digi Doodle Studios.  I drew the background except for the haunted house.  Copics and Polychromos were used to colour the image and background.

Digi Doodle Studios has both a challenge blog and a Facebook challenge.  The Theme this month is CREEPY CUTE / SPOOKY / BELIEVE IN MAGIC.  

This will be my last post for Digi Doodle Studios because they are shutting down at the end of this month.  Why not visit their etsy shop before they close their doors?  DDS will, however, continue to create adorable clear stamps, dies and more on Ink n' Splatter.  

That's all from me today.  I thank you for visiting, and I with you a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Happy Witches Brew by Digi Doodle Studios

Hello friends!  Halloween always brings back some wonderful memories of my children when they would dress up in their costumes and go Trick-or-Treating around our neighbourhood.  What fun they had!  Of course, I would drive them to each house.  I also had a lot of fun making their costumes.  

The theme on the Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog this month is CREEPY CUTE / SPOOKY / BELIEVE IN MAGIC.  There is also a DDS Facebook challenge.

I chose the fabulous Happy Witches Brew by Digi Doodle Studios for my DT card.  I just had to draw a background for this cute witch.  

I used a combination of Copics and Polychromos to colour the image and background.  The cobwebs and the cute little black kitty are stamps that I have in my stash.  

I am really sad to inform you that Digi Doodle Studios will be closing its etsy shop at the end of this month.  So, hurry over and visit before they close their doors.  They will, however, continue to produce clear stamps, dies and more on Ink n' Splatter.

Thank you for visiting.  I truly appreciate it.  Have a lovely day, and take good care of yourselves.  Hugs, Lori xx

 Hello dear friends!  I decided to make a second Christmas card for the Spring Into Christmas 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party.  This time I used the super adorable Sending Joy image by Your Next Stamp.
