Sunday Evening



It seems like lately all that I have time to post is DT stuff. Hopefully that will change now that my time with Shirley's is done in December I think I will have a little more time. I thought I would show you tonight a card I made with Elisabeth Bell's new digi image. I just love her stamps. I just bought the new ones at SCAD's also. This one is gorgeous isn't it. I colored her in copics and added some crystal snow type stuff I bought last year. I bought these cute little paper pads from SCAD's this week too. I actually ended up buying 8 different ones.

So is everyone done Christmas shopping yet haha... I am done with about 95% and wrapped already. I just have my In Laws and my parents and then to pick up my husbands. I already know what I am getting him and he will love it. I'd tell you but just my luck he would read this so that would not be good. Anyways I hope everyone is having a great weekend. See the countdown at the end of my blog. Only 34 more days left :-)

Shirleys2Girls Blog Hop

BLOG HOP!
NOVEMBER 4th-7th



The Blog Hop ends on Nov. 7 at 12:00 A.M. PST.


Welcome to the S2G "All About Thanks" Blog Hop! If you arrived here from the talented MELISSA, then you're in the right place. If not, start at the beginning at the S2G Challenge Blog. You can also return there if you happen to get "lost" along the hop.
Four of the DT members have been chosen as a "Secret Prize" blog. By leaving comments on every DT member's blog, you increase your chances of winning.
Each DT member will tell you what she is thankful for and also share a papercrafting tip with you as our personal thank you to our hop participants and followers.

That is easy I am thankful for my Family and that everyone is in good Health.

My Tip is to make sure you use good paper when you are stamping and coloring whether it be digital or stamped images. Believe me I've tried all the papers out there and you get what you pay for. Currently my favorites are for pencils / gamsol is Papertrey Ink White cardstock and when I use my copics I love the new Copic Blend cardstock its great. This image I am showing you today has the Copic Blend since I used markers. You cannot use pencils on this cardstock it's too smooth.

This image along with some more are available at the Shirleys2Girls website. This one is #316 Heaps of Love isn't she too cute. Remember the adorable Princess one I had a few weeks ago. She is the same little girl. I think I have one more of her to show you in a week or two also. As I said she is colored with Copics and her little bowl is 3d. I added lacquer to her glasses to make them look real.

Next stop on the Hop is the creative TRACEY! Be sure to leave a comment telling us what you are thankful for to be eligible for prizes. Please enter our challenge this week, too. The Twist is to use the word "Thanks" on your card. Link your creation HERE. Thanks so much for joining in our "All About Thanks" Blog Hop! I hope you enjoy your visit to our DT's blogs.

Here is our Blog Hop order in case you lose your way
