Take 2

Hi everyone, Lou here and I am really proud to introduce you to this weeks challenge and the theme is all about seeing double and is called ....

"Take Two"

We would like you to use 2 of any identical element on your project. This could be 2 images, 2 ribbons, 2 embellishments, 2 die-cuts .... well anything as long as there are 2 of them!!

We are very fortunate this week as A Creative Need Digital Stamp Images is sponsoring us again! Many thanks Deena for your generousity ....



I have been an artist and crafter for many years, and I enjoy creating in many styles and
 with different materials. It is my practical side that led me to using digital images in my own creations. I simply love that they can be so easily resized, flipped, and printed , and they take up no space in my crafting room! I have merged my love of drawing with my need for realistic images by digitizing my own pencil sketches.  My drawing style is influenced by simple realism, everyday moments and natural beauty. You will find new images every month at A Creative Need, Squigglefly and  Can You Digi It?! I am pleased and proud to be sponsoring this challenge! Thank you to the design team for their wonderful creations, and best of luck to all the participants!
The winner will receive 3 images of their choice from my SHOP.

Happy Birthday Inspiration

 
Well, yes it's that time again - a little Whimsy Inspriation and this time it's LIA's stampz -- they are so whimsical!  I'm on a gotta' get male cards done kick!  I have over 250 clients and it seems at least half are males - so I've been trying to be more diligent on getting them out cards that are handmade! 
You really should hop on over to the Whimsy Inspiration Blog and see what the team has come up with.  I fussy cut my image - Library Mouse - and even colored the glasses on the edge to look through on his glasses - you can't see in this image but as most of you know -- I always use Diamond Glaze on my glasses!  It makes such a difference.  Well, check out Lia Stampz at the Whimsy Store and stay tuned for more inspiration and oh - check out the new Challenge at Whimsy Challenge Blog!!
