Pixie Dust Studio ‘dot’ Challenge

Jessica Griffin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:42:23 +0000

This week the challenge over at Pixie Dust Studio blog is to use polka dots!

-If you’re looking for the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog hop click HERE.-
-If you’re looking for my Next Day Flyers giveaway click HERE.-

I love this sweet little girl from the new love collection. The image is Pixie Dust Studio and is called Heart Garden.

I took a piece of pattern paper and stamped it using VersaMark and Basic Grey’s Life Of The Party Dots. The sentiment, “Picture Perfect” is from Unity Stamp Company’s November kit of the month. (My FAVORITE kit, by far.) I used VersaFine (Onyx Black) to stamp the sentiment.

And here are the colors I used… sorry for the blurry picture.

Make sure you hop on over to the Pixie Dust Studio blog to play along with this weeks ‘dot’ challenge!

(If you’re here for my giveaway, please go here —-> GIVEAWAY
or continue to scroll down.)

For this card I used Mandy the Ballerina from the set Daddy’s Princess.

For this card, I used the same set, Daddy’s Princess. I used the Sugar and Spice sentment along wtih the Butterfly Set. You can see all the details here.

Since I have little ones, I wanted to gear my cards more towards a child so they could be Valentine’s Day cards! My youngest daughter will love the butterflies and sentiment on the second card, while my oldest daughter will love the elegance of the first card!

I hope you’ve enjoyed my cards! If you hop on over to Dawn Thomas, I’m sure she’ll have something incredibly amazing for you!! Don’t forget to leave a comment so you can become eligible for the G.R.A.N.D. P.R.I.Z.E!

Next Day Flyers Giveaway!

Jessica Griffin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:53:34 +0000

I’m so excited! As most of you know, I design for Jessica Sprague. She introduced a class a few weeks back called “Digital Art Journaling.” With our recent move, I’ve had to pack away a majority of my supplies, leaving me with the absolute bare minimum. I was reluctant to pack it all up, but, I knew it would allow me to concentrate on the class!

So my friend Leslie over at Next Day Flyers, offered one of my subscribers a set of flyers! Next Day Flyers offers flyer printing, business cards, and all sorts of other cool stuff. My wonderful, 200+ amazing subscribers now have an opportunity to win YOUR very own set of 100 1/4 page flyers! All YOU have to do is leave me a comment (or add your name to the inlinkz) and show me what incredible and amazing kinds of stuff you’d love to have in print! Oh… and “like” or “follow” NDF via Twitter or FaceBook and tell them that I sent you of course!

These are not my work, but I found them on Pinterest and thought you would enjoy them!

These images are available for 8X10 download at eighteen25.

Jessica Sprague teamed up with Nancie Rowe Janitz and vice versa, to put on this bad ass class! I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned. So sad I’ve been digitally designing for so long, and I FINALLY feel like I’ve got the hang of it!

(Nancie has been kind enough to allow me to share these images with you, so you can download them to your computer, and use them. Please give credit where credit is due, I’d love to continue making things that I can share with my followers. Please consider following me on twitter, or sign up for an email subscription so you don’t miss a download or giveaway!)

So here’s what I made!

Bugaboo’s 2nd birthday blog hop!

(If you’re here for the Tiffany Doodles blog hop, please scroll down or click here.)

Happy 2nd Birthday Bugaboo!!

Tammy was kind enough to invite the Totally Stampalicious design team to participate in Bugaboo’s 2nd Birthday Bash Blog Hop, and we were thrilled to oblige! Especially when she said we would get to pick one winner from our comment section to receive a free digi image, so be sure to leave a comment on my blog for your chance to win!

I’m only 10 subscribers away from having 200 email subscribers, and a really exciting giveaway from Next Day Flyers! You can subscribe to my blog by clicking “Sign me up!” in the top left corner! (Or you can follow via Twitter!)

For those of you who don’t know, Totally Stampalicious has the great privilege of turning Jodie Mackrell’s incredible art into clear photopolymer stamp sets!

If you’re hopping along to celebrate this special day with us and you came here from Becky Givans, then you’re in the right place! If not, please go back to the beginning, you never know what you’ll find!

I absolutely adore Bugaboo images! They’re so much fun to color, and they’re so cute! For my card, I chose Ava Cupcake.

You may (or may not) notice I did use my mad photoshop skillz (haha!) to edit the skulls off of Ava’s cupcake, and that wasn’t difficult to do, at all.

The E70′s were used for Ava’s hair, E000, E93 were used to color the face. V20′s cupcake wrapper, E30′s ‘frosting’, RV’s were used for Ava’s bow, the heart on her dress, her shoes and the candle. I did use RV0000 in the cupcake wrapper to lighten it up a little bit. Y12, YR04 and R27 were used for the flame on the candle. And, I colored her sweet little dress with the G’s.

Now, click on Ava to hop over to Cammy Wall!

Bugaboo is celebrating ALL week long with fun challenges, prizes and more, so make sure you continue to check out Bugaboo’s blog, Catch the Bug for all the fun and prizes!
