A boy and his dog--the perfect team

I found these cute dog paw stickers today and wanted to use them with this cute digital image from Digital Stamp Oasis. The sentiment is from American Art Stamp.

This week's DSO card

I picked Susie watering her flowers for my Digital Stamp Oasis card this week. I think Susie lives here in Sugar Land, because

we've had so little rain, that we are forced to water our plants or let them die!!I used some Basic Grey dp for the background, and pink passion for the card base. The large oval nestabilities fit the image just right. Copic markers are my medium of coloring.

This cute image is from Digital Stamp Oasis and I thought it would make a cute way to bring in a birthday!!! I used my SU spiral punch to make my tracks!! I added some red bling to be the flashing, warning lights. Aren't these images perfect for kid's birthdays?

May God bless our teachers

I can't believe that time is just around the corner but school will soon be back in swing in just a few weeks. I decided to make a little "welcome, back!" card using this digital image from Digital Stamp Oasis. I colored over the message that was on the board, and added a new message with a white gel pen. I think that using plaid gave me a flash to the past to a new school dress my mother made me for one of those first day of school events, and I also had a Scottish plaid lunchbox that my grandfather handpainted my name on (one of his many talents was a sign painter). And I mean he put the whole full name on it which had to go diagonally from one corner to the other: Elizabeth Ann Austin. Just traveling down memory lane. As a retired public school teacher, what joy it is to not have to deal with those first day situations that I'm sure every kindergarten teacher across the country has to face. My greatest fear was always getting a kid on the wrong bus to go home. What a nightmare!!!God bless all you teachers who are already hard at work getting those classrooms ready. No one really knows how much of your time and your own money are tied up in that classroom. Hope you are blessed with a wonderful year!

A free download

This digital image from Digital Stamp Oasis makes me feel cooler just looking at it. We have been experiencing 3 digit numbers in our temperatures around here.You can download this image here. Go and check it out. I used my copic markers to color this and added gelly roll stardust on the snowman and on the snow. I used my snowflake embossing folder for the background and then I punched out some of the snowflakes and embellished them with rhinestones.

Digitals and Diecuts

I just think that Sammy from Digital Stamp Oasis is just one of the cutest of digital images. I used him for this Limited Supply Challenge on Splitcoaststampers. My cuttlebug diecuts are used for the corner pieces, and my two embellishments are the little blue buttons.

Today's Digital Challenge is a great one for me. Using scraps can be so fun and putting some together that out of the box is really fun too!!! This image is from Digital Stamp Oasis. I colored little Sammy with copic markers and I love how the blender pen will lighten up areas that need highlighting. You can find the challenge here.

Flying Proud

With yesterday, June 14th being Flag Day, and July 4th a couple of weeks away, I'm in a red, white, and blue mood. I just love our little ace here flying high and proud. This is a cute digital image from Digital Stamp Oasis. You will want to check out all the cute images you will find there.

I found this sentiment and thought of this cute digital image from Digital Stamp Oasis. Is there not anything sweeter than a boy and his dog?? Go and check out the other great images at Digital Stamp Oasis. I have to say this for digital stamping. It is easier to find than hunting down a misplaced rubberstamp image, and I can't tell you how many times I have lost the clear acrylic stamps. They just disappear on me KWIM?? I'm probably the only one who has lost at least one part of every clear stamp set I have. I haven't figured out a system that works for me. But like I said, digital images eliminate that problem!!LOL

Digital Tuesday Challenge

There are so many fun challenges on Tuesday, that Tuesdays have become my favorite day to stamp. This is for the Digital Tuesday Challenge . The digital image is from Digital Stamp Oasis. Check out both of these sites to find all kinds of fun. I used copic markers with this and I am trying to master the skill of the 00 blender pen. As you can see, I still need lots of practice. Hope that old saying comes true...practice makes perfect.

Digital Tuesday Challenge #8

I used these love birds from Digital Stamp Oasis and I used a digital paper piercing pattern in the corners of the label nestabilties from Angel's Landing.
The challenge was a wedding card and I think these lovebirds are just showing the love.

New images from Digital Stamp Oasis

This is done on mellow moss paper although it looks like kraft in this photo. Little Sammy is delivering this gift wrapped nut to you!! I used some Basic Grey dp for the background panel and used some of my new copic markers to color in Sammy, a digital image from

Digital Stamp Oasis.

Celebrating that first year in school

This is a wonderful new image from Digital Stamp Oasis. I cut out a black graduation hat from cardstock to add to little Susie's head. Having been a kindergarten teacher for over 20 years, I just thought this image would make the cutest little graduation card for this big event in some little one's great accomplishment of completing and surviving their first year of school.

Fly on by!

You've got to go to Digital Stamp Oasis to see these great new images just released. Is this not the cutest thing for a little boy's birthday or even a big boy's birthday for that matter!!! I love the fact that I can size these images to the size I would need for my card. That is a great advantage over rubber images.

Spotlighting technique with the love birds

I thought this image from Digital Stamp Oasis would be fun to use for the spotlighting technique. I cuttlebugged the background, which I think gave it a look of elegance.

Yea, winter is over and the fresh vegetables and fruits will be in season. Doesn't little Susie here make these strawberries look yummy? This is a digital image from Digital Stamp Oasis. Check out their really cute images.

Susie Squirrel Just for You

I had such fun with this image from Digital Stamp Oasis.Is little Susie Squirrel the cutest thing offering this pretty spring bouquet? All the paper I used was from Stampin' Up and the leaf punch is by Martha Stewart. I experimented with some of my latest Nestabilities to see what they looked like together.

Susie Squirrel in this perfect image for spring looks lovely in these soft colors. I cuttlebugged the soft sky background and used my oval scalloped nestabilities around the image. These are images from Digital Stamp Oasis and are so fun to color with copic markers.

Digital Stamp Oasis images perfect for Easter

I just think this cute image from Digital Stamp Oasis is a perfect Easter card with lots of opportunity to use lots of color. I did this card for Roxi's Sketch challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers. I used my copics to add the color to the image. The background papers are by Basic Grey and imaginisce. I thought this riding hood red cardstock made a great background card for all of these splashes of color.

Isn't this Susie Squirrel from user_id=6923924&ga_search_query=digitalstampoasis&ga_search_type=seller_usernamesthe cutest thing? I colored it with copic markers. These images are so great and you can print out multiple copies at a time. Love this new innovative idea of ways to purchase images and it only takes up some space on your computer and not in your craft room. I'm quickly running out of room in my stamp room and I'm the type that can't part with even one tool, and then there is my great collection of stamps, ribbons, and embellishments that share all that space too.
