Cookie Mouse is back and this time he was caught in the cookie jar!

And to go along with him, there is a Cookie Tag which you can use to spread a little cookie sunshine!  :0)

Here’s some close-ups:

Easter Blessings

easter-blessings-diane-zechman.jpgEek…I’m not sure why this photo didn’t turn out very good.  Sorry about that!

Just a quickie post tonight…Riley is begging for my attention!  I do have a few new photos of her…I’ll have to share those soon. 

This is a sample I made for Julie’s new digital set coming out tomorrow at All That Scraps.  If you are into digital images, you’ll have to check it out!

I think this is the 3rd project in a row that I’ve used these Martha Stewart butterflies punched from the Eggplant cardstock.  LOL.  But this was actually the card I started it all with….I’ve just had to wait to upload it. 

Head on over to the ATS blog to see more samples.  Christine will be adding more tomorrow too.

And did you catch the great new samples the DT made of my Mushroom Friends set?  I love ’em!  :0)  You can see those here.

ATS Wednesday challenge

sweetpea-cupid-1-diane-zechman.jpgThis week the ATS Wednesday challenge is “Brads Galore”.  The DT was asked to use lots of brads!  This sounded like a fun challenge and one that I needed. 

I love to use brads, but I hafta admit…I tend to use them sparingly.  Why?  I dunno!  LOL!  But I used 11 here…..hope that’s enough!  ;0)  There’s a flower brad in the center of the Prima and the rest are heart brads….3 at the top and 7 inside the cutouts made from the Martha Stewart Valentine Lace punch.

This *swweeeet* image is a digital image by C.C. Designs.  I love this Sweetpea Cupid, don’t you?!  I just had to add some Stickles to her wings!  And I used more of the fun My Mind’s Eye papers and Nestabilities dies.

Have a great Wednesday!

flamingo kisses and hugs

flamingo-1-diane-zechman.jpgA few days ago C.C. Designs released this cute flamingo as a single digital image.  Isn’t it darling?  Christine also just released all of her previous images as digital, so go check them out!  And while you are there, check out the *sale*sale*sale* category….there’s still lots of great deals on Cuttlebug, papers, and more!

When I first printed the flamingo, I goofed a bit and it came out huge!  So I guess I’ll use that one to make a special bookmark for a flamingo lovin’ gal!  LOL.  But that’s the great thing about the digi images….you can make them any size you want!  :0)

I used some fun papers by My Mind’s Eye on this card.  I also made another card with these same papers that I’ll share on Wednesday, so be sure to check back!

Before I get to the card details, here’s another quick pic of Riley.  She loves to lay on this old sleeping bag!  LOL.

rest in his grace

rest-in-his-grace-diane-zechman.jpgHappy Wednesday! 

Tomorrow at All That Scraps, Julie Buhler will be releasing her first set of digital images called Encouraging Verses.  They are all in a grayscale format but can be changed to the colors and size that suit your needs in your own computer program.

Here I paired one of the verses with one of Christine’s Gingersnap angels from her Hey Cupid! stamp set.  I thought they went together well!  And once again, I used some more of my DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies paper.  Love that paper! 

Before I colored my image with Copic markers, I stamped and cut out a mask.  Then I tried to make a blue “airbrush” effect around the angel.  My friend, Lesa, is an airbrush queen….I love how she airbrushes her projects with her Copic markers and an air compressor!  I don’t have a small compressor, though, and I am not about to trudge out to the garage and use DH’s large one!  LOL.  So I tried to make do with what I have….an Inkworx air art tool.  I got mine years ago…I can’t remember where.  Stampin’ Up! carried them for a while too.  Anyway, my Copic markers wouldn’t fit into the tool, so I grabbed my SU! Ballet Blue marker to make the background.  It’s not quite as nice as the Copics with the air tools but I think it will be fine with some more practice.

Sweetpea and Tiger

winter-sweetpea-1-diane-zechman.jpgTonight at 10:00 pm is the release of the C.C. Designs December stamps and digital images!  There are 3 wintery stamp sets by Christine and 2 single images by Stampin’ Spot Studio.  Also, 4 digital downloads will be available including the images I used here from the Winter Sweetpea and Tiger download.  The other downloads include images from the Winter Bear and Bear Hugs rubber stamp sets, plus reindeer from last year’s Reindeer Games stamp set.  All can be viewed later tonight at All That Scraps.

There’s lots of sparkle on this card that just doesn’t show up in the pic.  All of the snow and the fur on her hat and coat was painted with Angel Wings Shimmerz.  I also added Stickles to the diecut snowflakes.  The pink corners at the top were made with my Nestabilities.  First I cut the smallest Labels 1 shape and next I diecut the center of it with a square.  Then I cut my frame on the diagonal to get the 2 corners.  :0)

Head on over to ATS at 8 pm to chat before the release!

digital images- Winter Sweetpea & Tiger by C.C. Designs; paper- Celery, Pixie, White, dp- KI Memories; ink- printer; accessories- Copic markers, Shimmerz, Stickles, Cuttlebug Winter die, Nestabilities- Labels 1 & 2, Squares & Ovals.  

digital downloads!

sweetpea-halloween-digi-diane-zechman.jpgSomething new is happening over at All That Scraps!  Go check it out!  Christine is offering some digital downloads of some cute new Halloween images….just in time to create some Halloween cards and treats.  It’s so easy…just download them through the shopping cart (they are in a zip file), print, color & create!  I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical at first…I love using the rubber stamps and have no desire to quit!  BUT….I also have to admit that when I tried it, it was fun!  And the bonus is that you can enlarge or reduce your images to suit your needs!  Cool! 

This first pic uses the cute Halloween house and one of the Sweet Pea images.  After printing the house, I cut it out with my rectangle Nestabilities and colored it with Copic markers.  (I had no bleeding of my printer ink with the Copics)  :0)  The Sweet Pea was cut out and popped up on dimensionals.  And the skull on the green photo corner was hand drawn to match Sweet Pea’s necklace.

sweetpea-bag-topper-digi-diane-zechman.jpgAnd here is a super quick bag topper.  I used the pumpkins and Tiger the Cat to decorate it.  They were both colored, cut out and attached to the topper.  I used the Martha Stewart Cornice Edge punch along the bottom and doodled some faux stitches around the edge.  Super quick & easy!
