Scribbles Designs is Ready for the Holidays

Today I reached a milestone - I finished this year's Christmas card stash! This one and other cards I've made after December 1 are being hand-delivered. AS you may have guessed, the new challenge theme at Scribbles Designs is "Getting Ready for Christmas.
And what better way to get ready is to decorate the tree? My card features a lovely selection of Christmas balls, ready to hang. The Scribbles Designs' images I used are  #889 Mason Jar, and a Friday Freebie, Ornaments. I chose the Decosse's Dynamite Designs paper before I colored my images, so the paper set my monochromatic vision. Color-blocking seemed to fit the card nicely, with a few lines of adhesive jewels and some rub-on holiday greetings.

Create a Christmas project and link it to  the Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog for your chance to win some awesome digis! Good luck and happy crafting!

Holiday Hoopla at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog

It's the midway point of the challenge at Scribbles Designs, and their Holiday Hoopla challenge is over the top!
Today I chose to create a Valentine's Day card. I love to change up images, as in using an image for let's say Halloween, and using it on a Valentine's Day card, like mine here.
I used three digi images from Scribbles Designs:
F105- Heart Arrow, Mason Jar and Batty. While the textured paper in the foreground is mine, the background bordering my card is from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles' Glitterati Paper Kit. The font is called Crazy Killer.
I am a caregiver for my husband now, so my craft time is very limited. My laptop is always at hand, so I can still create digitally, at least until I find some free time (or take it and run with it).
Back to the challenge at Scribbles Designs - crafters have until the 14th of July to link their holiday (any holiday) cards or projects for their chance to win free digis from
After creating my digital Valentine's Day card, I surfed the Web, looking for different holidays.

Out with the Old, In with the New at Scribbles Challenge Blog

2016 is almost over! A new year will dawn in days! Looking back on 2016, I realized how fast time flies by. Next year, I plan on making the most of every moment. I have things to do and places to go. My time with my husband is limited and my mom is feeling her age. I want to spend quality time with each. My sister lives inn Germany with her new husband and I want to visit them at home, speaking and being comfortable in the German language. I have been very blessed and want to give back. In order to do all this and more (publish my book, learn to play the ukelele,..I need to make the time to take care of myself. Meditation, yoga, spin biking, eating healthy, etc.

These are all things I am penciling onto my calendar in 2017. And this thinking inspired me to create this mini poster for my DT project for Scribbles Challenge Blog new challenge theme: Out with the Old, In with the New. 

I used the digi image Mason Jar from Scribbles Design along with the following:

Papers: Patacake’s Pages’ Rainbow Spin

Elements: PixelScrapper.com Janet Scott’s Tag Template, Reflections of Strength Heart Bunting
and Marisa Lerin’s Quilt Stripe border
Font:  Tall Marker

So, I guess the question is, "How will YOU fill the New Year?" And another one --- What will you create for this month's challenge?  Be sure to link it up for your chance to win free digis! Good luck and Happy New Year! 

Midway through the Mason Jar Challenge at Scribbles Designs

We are now halfway into the newest challenge at Scribbles Designs. Mason jars are really popular right now, so we want to see them on your projects. I'm already thinking Halloween so I filled my Mason Jar (a digi image from Scribbles Designs) with the flying mascot of this fun holiday, bats. And of course, I used another Scribbles Designs' image called Batty.
You have until the 14th to link up your own mason jar-inspired project for your chance to win free digis. Happy crafting, y'all!

New Challenge at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog

Mason jars are all the rage now where I live. You see them at restaurants, parties and stores. They're painted, be-ribboned and decorated.They hold flowers, candy, fireflies, jams and vegetables, and iced tea.
This month the challenge theme at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog is to create with a mason jar. There are quite a few fun and whimsical images at Scribbles Designs store, but you aren't required to use a Scribbles image for the challenge.
I used two images, Mason Jar (which is empty) and Crayons, which was a freebie on the challenge bog a couple months ago. After coloring three sets of the Crayons digi, I "placed"them in my jar and fussy cut the filled jar. Everything on my card is from my stash--the good news is I haven't had to go to a craft store in months as I have owed to use up my stash. The bad news is I haven't been able to justify going to a craft store in months... LOL
What will you put into your mason jar? Or how will you decorate your jar? What will you create this month for Scribbles Designs Challenge blog??
