Happy Halloween!

Hello my name is Leeanne and I am addicted to digital kits and images. I have another confession. When I first heard about digital images and kits I kinda thought they were silly. It to me defeated the purpose of stamping. I dunno, just seemed weird to me. BUT then I tried it, I finally figured out what color tools worked best for me, unfortunately this was after breaking the bank buying all sorts of markers and pencils. LOL! So I have bought several digital images and kits and I simply love them. My most recent purchase was a Halloween image (Thanks Marlene!) from Squigglefly. I usually don't make Halloween cards because I don't send them out but really that was before I sent out cards in general. This image was super cute though and I had to have it. The white cardstock is that shimmery white paper I told y'all about that I got at my LCS and all the pattern paper is from a digikit I purchased from Two Peas called Woodsy by Jen Martakis.

Ya know one of the other things I have learned in the paper crafting world is to think outside the box. I see a lot of non-traditional colors for certain holidays like Christmas. When you think Christmas, do you think pink and blue and orange or do you think red and green? Yeah me too! When you think of Halloween do you think of tan, blue and purple or do you think orange and black? Yeah me TOO! LOL!

I did however add a little Pumpkin Pie cardstock in there to bring a little Halloween traditional colors but more so just to give the card a bit more color. The alphas are Micro Mini stickers from Basic Grey, Basics collection.

*edit, I entered this card into Squigglefly Challenge #62 - Hot Colors, thank you Holly for telling me about the challenge.

Happy Crafting!!

Hybrid Thank You! & Giveaway....

Good Morning! Hope you are all having a good start to your week. I have been mentally preparing myself for school next week so Tony and I have been getting ourselves up at 6am, going to the gym and starting our day early. Because next week we will be getting up a 5am to study, go to the gym and start our day. We will need to try and get in homework and studying as much as we can while the kids are sleeping.

So this is a Hybrid card I made using a digital kit I got for free from Two Peas in a Bucket. It is called Dream by Vinnie Pearce. It is really pretty and it went so well with this shimmery white cardstock I got the other day at my LCS.

I made the card for my son's speech therapist. I haven't talked to her all summer or given her any updates on my son's progress. OMGoodness she would be so proud of my son. He is talking so much, it makes me so happy to hear him say words and not just scream at me. So I wanted to thank her for all her help and give her a bit of an update.

Wahoo, crinkle ribbon. The "thanks" sentiment is by far my favorite. It is from one of my Basic Grey stamp sets, Tree Hugger. I think I said this before but the sentiment is really supposed to say "thanks for everything you do" but I never use the whole stamp so I cut off the "for everything you do" and just use the "thanks". Gasp....did I break some sort of stamping etiquette? LOL! Just kidding!

And NOW for the best part, the GIVEAWAY. I am giving away some crinkle ribbon. Well here is the thing, I am letting you pick what you would want. The only rule to enter is you have to check out PrairieBirdBoutique and pick out 3 ribbon bundles ($15 value). Leave a comment with your choices. This giveaway will end August 22nd at midnight EST. Then I will have the crinkle ribbon sent to you.

I would love if you could blog about the giveaway or put a link in your sidebar, and as always I love followers! :-)

That's it.

Happy Crafting!!
