I decided to make a large tag with the Charlie Chaplin digi.

I used some Tim Holtz ink sprays on the background and distressed the edges with

The Octopode Factory-triangles challenge

This week at The Octopode Factory our challenge theme is TRIANGLES!
I used the new mermaid digi to create a chunky page.
It measures 4x4 and it's created on a thick piece of chipboard.
I love making chunky pages because you can layer the up and decorate them with whatever you want.
I popped the mermaid up with pop dots and placed some large rhinestones under her.
Then I used hot glue to adhere some small seashells. To create the "ocean bottom" I spread out a thick layer of hot glue and sprinkled it with "shaved ice" chunky glitter by Stampendous.

Lori Boyd Inspiration-Christmas & WInter

It's Tuesday! That means it's time for some inspiration with Lori Boyd designs!
I just love these images. They are sweet and fun to color.
Hop on over to the BLD blog for more inspiration from the design team.
There is a special treat today also so go check it out!


I used this awesome set of sentiments. 

I was really please with the way this card turned out. The pattern paper was perfect for it. I folded up the bottom corner and secured it with a big button so there is just a little print showing from the back side of the pattern paper.

This card measures 4 1/2 x 4 1/2. The image wasn't really Christmas looking to me until I colored it. I just love the way it turned out with that cute Christmas tree.

This card also measures 4 1/2 x 4 1/2. I love this image with the little penguin. They come as a set but they are perfect to use together or just by themselves.
There are several images available that would be perfect to use in the same way as this card
