I love this freebie at Scribbles Designs where the current challenge is to use a house or buildings on our card. I decided to use the trendy digi on a card with a timeless Christmas theme so that I can also enter my card into Beccy’s Place annual (November) Month of Holiday Cards Event. Beautiful galaxy patterned paper, a few sentiments, and a bit of bling finish off the unusual card. (I had fun adding a few strands of Christmas lights to the scene, as they add such a magical touch to the holiday.)           Supplies: 

·   Digi- Freebie from Scribbles Designs (City Scape)

·   Sentiments- from Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Oh Night Divine)

·   Galaxy paper and Sparkly Star (gem) Stickers- Hobby Lobby

·   Silver photo corners available from several web sources (WXJ13 Photo Mounting Corners)

·   All other items from my stash.

STAMPlorations is a sponsor again this year for the 2021 Fall-winter Coffee Lovers Hop. So I’m having fun featuring some of artist/owner Shery Russ’ beautiful digis image in my entries. This one features a digi that was a freebie several years ago. It has be revised a bit and is not included in a wonderful set of 10 digis PLUS a bonus sheet of 5 tags for just $9. (There is a beautiful freebie available now you can find it here!)
I’m using up a few remaining sheets from a favorite Echo Park 6x6 paper pad (sniff sniff) and hope to find another one soon. It has helped me out on several hops. This time I paired the Coffee and Roses digi with snips from a paper doily, a few scraps of ribbon and a free sentiment to finish off my card. Oops, almost forgot! I also added additional color to the finished card with bold patterned paper and a few scraps of a blue plastic index divider sheet. (If you’ve followed my blog you’ll know that I use these wonderful gems A LOT! They are sometimes called document file folders, come in a pack of assorted colors, and can be found in the office supply section of most stores. I’ve even found them in dollar stores. They're cheaper than colored vellum and more translucent. Punches and dies don’t work on these sheets, but they are easy to fussy-cut with a sharp pair of scissors and you can write on them a black permanent fine-line marker.)

Supplies: 
·   Digi- STAMPlorations Digital Stamp Set (Coffee and Roses)
·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen
·   Echo Park 6x6 paper pad- Coffee
·   Edging from a square paper doily
·   Inside Sentiment-Creative Fabrica Freebie (May Coffee Kick in Before Reality)
·   Cardstock, scraps of ribbon and plastic file folder, plus other items from my stash.

I love this sweet digi named “Love to the Moon and Back”, and was thrilled to find a book named “On the Day that You were born” by Nancy Tilman that holds a beautiful excerpt that compliments the digi. I’ve used the combo on several baby cards over the years but decided I could also use it for a “You are special” card for one of my great-nieces (I now have 16 of them!) The freebie circle sentiment on the front of the card is the perfect addition, especially with a heart that has BLING! (And the best thing for YOU is that this sweet digi is available now for just $1.00! See link in my supplies section.)

Hmmm. After I took the photo I see that it looks like someone took to that tree with a chain saw. I might need to do some repairs before I send it! 

Supplies: 
·   Digi- Dis Digi (Love To the Moon and Back) 
·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen
·   Haze around moon made with a sponge and white craft ink
·   Front Sentiment- Freebie from Nettyscards.blogspot.com (Love You to the Moon)
·   Inside Sentiment- Nancy Tillman from her book “On the Day that You were Born”
·   Window die-cut A2 card, heart-shaped doily, and other items from my stash
