Good morning and welcome! I was teaching health classes last week so I apologize that this posting was a little late. (PS I love working with teens but I'm always amazed at how exhausted I am after teaching 3-5 classes a day. The students are great, but they do keep me on my toes!)     

This month’s Sheepski Designs FB Challenge theme is “Make it Cute” and I had fun creating with Andreas’ adorable gnome digi named Giant Mushroom.  Two versions of patterned paper and a beautifully penned sentiment turn the digi into a heart-filled Valentine's day card. 

PS Stop by the Sheepski blog to learn more about the monthly challenges and have a chance to win some wonderful digis created by artist Andrea Norris!

Outlawz Challenge- January 2023 Linky

 

I have a nice assortment of artist Jan Mahew’s wonderful creations in my digi collection. This one includes some wonderful sentiments that work for new home and graduation cards. But this elegant front door just shouted “Christmas” to me! Brick paper, torn paper and glitter “snow,” and a few stickers (I especially like the colorful gifts nestled down in the snow) add some holiday magic. So fun!

I'm entering this card into three photo inspiration challenges which all feature snowy scenes. (You can't tell in the photos, but the snow on the window sill and ground shimmers with glittery Stickles!)
