PIP Challenge 1810 Di's Digi Stamps

Welcome to my world and a happy Monday to all! Time to play along with the Design Team at Pammie's Inky Pinkies aka PIP. It's anything goes so get creative and enter for a chance to win a $12.00 gift certificate from our sponsor Di's Digi Stamps. Yes, $12.00! You can get an awful lot of cuteness with that.

Speaking of cuteness, I used her DIY Pup for my card. Only a dollar and so versatile! He's colored with Prismacolor pencils and a touch of Copics. All colors are given below. The background panel was made during craft time with the little man. We used some Ken Oliver Color Burst and a spray bottle of water. Red and blue acrylic paints were mixed with Diamond Glaze and applied to create the messy look. No sentiment as I feel this could be used for several different occasions such as happy birthday, thinking of you, congratulations...

What do you think?

The challenge has been issued and Di's Digi Stamps has cuteness at great bargains to help you get started.

Material list: Prismacolor #1083 Putty Beige, #1094 Sandbar Brown. Ken Oliver Color Burst Cerulean Blue, Gamboge (yellow), and Cadmium Scarlet. Copic #R00 Pinkish White.

PIP Challenge 1746 November 13, Di's Digis

How was your weekend? Mine was filled with cold winds, a mix of snow, and freezing rain. Oh, and yesterday was my wedding anniversary - 41 years. I spent most of my day doing what I love, coloring because today is a new PIP challenge and this week's sponsor is Di's Digi Stamps.

I started with a Di's digi  printed off a while ago, for this post, using my polychromo pencils and Gamsol. I must have printed on a laser printer because I've learned the hard way, Gamsol lifts the toner enough it pollutes whatever color you are working with. Sadly, I had to toss the image and no computer to reprint.

Since a certain little man will be turning 6 the day before Thanksgiving, I picked He Is Loved from Sassy Cheryl out of my supply. Colored with polychromos and Gamsol in some of his favorite clothes colors. The number 6 was added to the bears hat using a gel pen. Background papers and image mounted to a chartreuse card. Happy Birthday sentiment stamped on a scrap of background paper and mounted slightly above the image with Zots Zip clear adhesive lines.

Time for me to stop flapping my fingers here because it's time for you to check out the PIP challenge blog and other DT members for inspiration. Why? Because I can't wait to see your entries! To make it easier, here's a link to The PIP challenge and to Di's Dig Stamps. 

PIP Challenge 1736 September 4

Wishing everyone in the USA a safe and fun Labor Day.  My fun time is making a card for the PIP challenge this week. Yes, card making is my idea of a good time. Speaking of  PIP,  you can find the challenge here. My enjoyment doubled because the sponsor for this week is Di's Digi Stamps. Love her digital images.

While the 4th is a holiday here, Tuesday the 5th is far more anticipated in this family because a certain little man will be starting kindergarten and going to school all day long. While his mom is doing the happy dance of anticipation, Grandma is pretty sure there will be a bit sadness when the time comes, probably for both of them. I don't think he quite understands what all day school involves. No matter, like everyone before him, he will adjust. To celebrate this big step I made a card to mark the occasion.

I used Di's Digi "Boy off to school." He's colored with Prismacolor colored pencils, poloychromos and a few Copic markers. Backing paper is from pad I've had for far too long. Outside of the crayon being blue (his favorite is black) I think he's going to love this. I am debating if I should work the grade and year onto the backpack flap. Maybe one on the cap and the other on the flap? Can't decide, what do you think? Feel free to weigh in with your comments.

Good gracious, another rambling post, sorry about that! Back to the important things... Be sure to check out Di's Digi Stamps where you are bound to find what you need/love. Then craft away and enter your creations at the PIP challenge blog for a chance to win.

                              To laugh, to be challenged,
                               to be entertained, and delighted.
