Last card for the relay

Day three's image for the TGF CHA relay was this cute Toby Cub image. I'm not usually a bear fan, but this one is pretty cute! I made mine into a thank you card, because I'm still catching up on thank yous for some gifts given to Lilah. Unfortunately the relay had to end early. I think the gallery kept crashing from the overwhelming response! It was fun to try and keep up for those three days! I would definitely try something like this again.

We had a light snow this morning, the kids were hoping for an accumulation, but they didn't get it! Oh well, at least no shoveling!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Relay Day #2, Sassy Charlotte

Here is my second relay card for the TGF CHA relay challenge. I adore this image, I think she looks like she has a lot to say! I definitely will use her again, I hope they eventually will make her in rubber, I have an easier time with rubber than with digis! This was fun for me, too, because I've been trying to experiment with different skin tones, still a work in progress for me. Hard to tell in the photo, but she is super glitzy with stickles.

Thanks for stopping by today. Can't wait for Biggest Loser tonight, thinking their might be a lot of drama after last week! Have a good one.

Ready, Set, Go!

The TGF CHA Relay begins today. Go on over to their blog and get the info. This Mer Ian is a free digi, if you play and upload a card with him to their gallery by 6pm CST you get the next digi free, and so on all week. Pretty good deal, right? Go download him and give it a try. Even if you don't get done in time, you still have a super cute new digi!


This one is pretty simple, I wanted him to look like he was swimming, so the background is embossed with tiny bubbles from Cuttlebug. For some reason when I saw him I knew right away that he was a red head! LOL, I love red hair, so beautiful.


If anyone has any digi tips for not smearing the ink, please let me know. I let it dry well and even tried to heat set it. It doesn't seem wet enough when it comes out of my printer to emboss it. I probably should be a bit less heavy handed with my markers, I keep going back to blend over and over. But like I said if you have any secrets, please share!


Hope you have a wonderful Monday!
