I want to ride my bicycle.......

Hello all!
Just adding in a quick post to highlight one of the new digital stamps available in my Etsy shop and remember that you can get 30% off all digis over $2.00 if you use the coupon code LPSCRAPS30.
     I've been digitally tidying up some vintage images from an old catalogue to use as digital stamps - I won't bore you with the details of how to do this as it is mind-numbingly dull!!  Still, I have got some good results so have decided to add a few vintage digi stamps to my shop.  The good thing about these type of images is that you don't need to colour them which makes for super speedy card creating!

                 For my card, I used the Vintage Bicycle image and added some digital  font elements for a collage feel background.  I then double mounted the image onto cardstock, added some scrabble tiles and buttons for interest and some washi tape and patterned cardstock finished it off.
        The perfect quick and easy male card!!

                  I would like to enter this into the challenges at Simon Says Stamp and Show , Simon Says Stamp , Art Impressions , DL Art , JellyPark  . QKR Stampede and Stamping with Dragon .

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Squeezing in a CAS one again!

Hello all!
Just wanted to squeeze a quick posting in for a card that came together nice and quickly :)  I used a 'real' stamp for this one from Stamping Bella - this one is 'Uptown Girls Pattie and Dottie Friends forever'.  I used my Copics to colour and kept the simple, yet bright colour scheme to a minimum by using the same colours to mat the image.  That's pretty much it!

       I would like to enter this in the challenges at 613 Avenue Create , Paper Playtime , Without Words , ABC challenge , Through the Craft Room door and Colour me Creative.

                    Thanks for stopping by and I'd also like to let you know that my digital stamps are now available for instant download from my Etsy shop.  Plus if you use the code LPSCRAPS30, you get 30% off all digis over $2.00!

Fuzzy & furry

Hello all!  Back again already:)  This time I made a card with one of my own digis available from my etsy shop here.  He's called Mikey and he's one of the first digis I drew so I do have a soft spot for him!
               I'm offering a 30% discount to all you blog readers out there  - this can be used on anything from my shop until the end of March 2012 so I would love it if you popped in.  I'm not suggesting any of you crafters out there need cards (not at the rate we all make them!) but I do have a few digis in the shop that you might like.  The code is LPSBLOG0330 which you apply at checkout and the discount will be done automatically :)

So, back to the card - I kept the layout fairly simple and just used the sentiment "best wishes" as it can be useful to have a few general purpose cards in your stash!

                      I made this one with the current CMC challenge in mind - here  which is FUZZY-WUZZY, FURRY ANIMAL ANTICS.  I think he qualifies as being both fuzzy and furry :) 

I would also like to enter him into the following -
