Merry Tags!

Happy Holidays, Ya'll!  Well we're 2 days from Christmas! OMG can you believe it! This year has just flown by for me.

This weeks Belli challenge is to create a card, scrapbook page or project using tags. OMG...What a cute idea and the perfect timing for me! My friend Holly found this wonderful tag set on SCS so I decided to case it a bit. It's not exactly the same but it's the same concept. Here is where the original idea came from.

I made a tag holder that holds 8 little gift tags. The images are all from shirleys2girls holiday collection. Here is the front of the holder. I made a cute little belly band to hold it closed using a shirleys2girls image called Christmas Jollies. The paper is DP from stampin up that I had and I combined that with baha breeze, real red and old olive. My cute little reindeer was colored using copics. Are you ready to see the inside?

Here is the inside view of the holder itself. I made 8 tags using 4 different images. Now for a close up of the tags.

Here is a close up of the tags. I used from shirleys2girls, Cheers, Fruitcake Angel, Shopping, Mouse Dancing and one that I forgot to photograph called Holiday Penguin.

So what do you think? I just love how this came out. I was going to give this as a gift but I just can't part with it. LOL!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: shirleys2girls digi images
Paper: neenah classic solar white, DP, real red, baha breeze, old olive
Ink:Samsung All-In-One Printer 
Accessories: copic markers, MS Snowflake punch, rhinestones, ribbon, circle regular and scallop nestabilities

Now that you've seen my tag holder, you need to head on over to the Belli Challenge Blog to see all the lovely Belli Ladies inspirations! We have a wonderful guest designer this week too. Her name is Brenda Turner and her blog is http://stamp-it-up.blogspot.com/. 

I also wanted to remind you if your interested in working with some fun ladies, the Belli Challenge Blog has a DT call right now. You have until January 3rd to aaply and you can get all the deets HERE.

Digi Hugs,
Debbie

BRRRRR....Baby It's Cold Out There!

This weeks Belli challenge is to create a card, scrapbook page or project for using Flourishes.

For my card this week I chose a digi image called Star Handler from Squigglefly. This is my first image from Squigglefly and I LOVE snowmen! OMG...He's just the cutest thing ever. Our challenge this week was to use flourishes on our card and boy that was a quite a challenge for me. I didn't quite know what I was going to do but I knew which image and colors that I wanted to use. I found these rhinestone flourishes at Michael's and thought they would be perfect with my little man. I used my ek succcess punch to create snow mounds behind him layered in grey/white/navy. You can't tell from the picture but his star is glittered as well as the ends of his scarf. Do you like him?

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Squigglefly Star Handler Digi Image
Paper: neenah classic solar white 80lb, DP Hobbylobby, navy, razzberry
Ink:Samsung All-In-One Printer 
Accessories: copic markers, MS Snowflake punch, rhinestone flourishes, ek success punch

Now that you've seen my card, you need to head on over to the Belli Challenge Blog to see all the lovely Belli Ladies inspirations! Mr Linky lives over there so don't forget to link up your project once you're done.

Digi Hugs,
Debbie

Rubber Hugs,

Happy Thanksgiving to my readers!

 I want to take this time to wish everyone a safe and wonderful Holiday. I have so much to be thankful for this holiday season!

Shirley's2Girls is taking this weeks Twisted Thursday off to spend with family and friends. So the design team will be posting a holiday card from our Christmas in July release for Shirley's2Girls.

Wanna see mine!?? I used a really fun Tri-Shutter card. You can find the tutorial for this card here. This was such a fun card to put together. My stamp is called Penguin Sledding (SG H23) from the Holiday section over at shirleys2girls. The base of my card is a shimmery red paired with SU baja breeze. I used some white shimmery paper for the snow and tore the edges. I put some glue down along the edges and sprinkled some chunky white sparkley glitter on top. WOW! I love the effect of this. It looks so real! I just wanted to jump right in it! LOL! The snowflake DP is from hobbylobby and the wooden snowflakes are from Michaels. I love the sentiment for this! I added some white and red organza ribbon on the top. Aren't you just ready to go play in the snow???!!!

Let's hop in the sled and head over to the wonderful Ladies with Attitude's blogs for a little more Holiday Spirit!

We're EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE...

Some big changes over at Shirley's2Girls.

To ALL S2G FANS...There's some BIG changes going!

These changes will be GREAT news for your pocketbook, your storage woes, & your driving the postman crazy with 'where are my stamps?'

We wanted you know that on January 1, 2010...

'Shirleys2Girls Clear Stamps'...

is going "SIMPLY DIGITAL"!

Kristine and Deidre, the owners & sisters of S2G, not only work together and live together, but they are also their 89 year old Fathers caretaker. With his current health issues and their full-time commitment to S2G...they have decided something had to give.

That being said...they LOVE LOVE LOVE the 'stamping' business, so the option of S2G closing up shop is...NOT an option. With Digital Stamps, they will create new and whimsical 'images"...sell them on line...but have NO, packaging, shipping or invoicing. Also, with digital stamps...they will have more family time...and...YOU...save..money, storage and time.

That's it! Well, that's almost it...S2G is putting everything (except the current digitals) on SALE at 45% OFF. This SALE is limited to Stock on hand...so when it's gone, it's gone! SO, get on over there and check out all of the wonderful clear stamps while they are still available. Go Shopping HERE!

We hope this change will be exciting for you too! Here's to 2010 and a VERY EXCITING year for S2G!

THANK YOU for all of your love this past year!
