Animal Crackers...

Hi all! I have a fun card to share with you today...

All That Scraps is having review week of January's release! The adorable monkey is from the Animal Crackers line and is available in both rubber and digi stamp at the ATS store. Followed the sketch from SFYTT, and colored with my Copics.  Some more new paper, this time from Lime Twist and snuck in a scrap from Basic Grey. The double stamped birthday sentiment was actually a mistake... the white by itself didn't show good, so I tried to stamp black on top of it. Well obviously I missed, but not bad... it looks like a shadow effect. :)

Head on over to ATS blog for more spectacular projects from the team! and there's a brand new ATS color challenge! Play along for your chance to win 5 digi stamps of your choice!

Hi all! Today is preview day for the All That Scraps Digi Team, and we have some brand new Lucy images from the Swiss Pixie line to show you! Continuing with the birthday celebration theme for January's new release, here is Surprise Lucy...

She's just so thrilled to be celebrating... like I am... so excited to be on the ATS Digi Team and with my first preview post!! The sentiment is from the Party Time Logo set. To get the stamped edge look, I used a small flower punch and just using the tip of the punch, went all around the image... had to put my glasses on for that! LOL! I got a bunch of new paper during the holiday sales... this one is Basic Grey's Hopscotch. Love the pretty soft colors in these papers! Added some twine, sparkle, and shine! There you have it... my first card for ATS!! ;D
