May the magic of the season never end...

Hey there! 

Last month I entered the Facebook challenge at All Dressed Up and won the opportunity to join the Dressy Girls and do a guest spot for the November Inspiration today. When it came time to make the tough choice of which fabulous new digi I would like to play with, I ultimately went with Magic Wand. I think it was her cute pigtails that really sealed the deal. Anywho, I printed her out nice and big so that she would be the star of the show on my card. Then I got to work coloring her up, she looked like a spunky Christmas sprite to me so I decided to give her some pretty silver hair to play against the gold stars of her barrettes and wand. The rest of her outfit is traditional red and green and I didn't skimp on the sparkle either. The Merry Merry paper pad that I paired Magic Wand with had this great sheet of paper in it that was a bunch of little squares with different images or sentiments in them. I cut out three of them and used a postage stamp punch on them to create some cool embellishments. I really like how it looks like they are part of the Christmas 'magic' escaping her wand. :)

I would like to thank Andrea at All Dressed Up for inviting me to join the fun this month, I had a blast! And I highly recommend that anyone who loves these adorable digi stamps to get creative and join either the Facebook challenge or their challenge blog... you could be the next lucky GDT!  :)

Tricks, treats and sweets...

Good morning!

I have had this darling digital stamp pinned on my wish list for ages and I finally caved and bought her from the All Dressed Up digi shop on Etsy. She's called Magical Day and I just think she is an absolute doll. When it came time to color her up and put her on a card I decided to check out the All Dressed Up Facebook challenge to give me a jumping off point. The current challenge is to use pink and/or pearls. At first I thought the pink could be a problem since I would be doing a Halloween card but then I found this Doodlebug paper that hat a fun hot pink included in the print. So of course I had to give her some hot pink hair to match. The rest of the colors in her fun costume also came from the paper as well. A sprinkling of black pearls fulfilled the other part of the challenge and help add a bit of magic to the over all design.

Okey dokey, I'm off to start my day. Have a good one everybody! :)
