CCM - I Love Dad!

Happy Sunday! I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend! I am back with another great Chi Chi Memories stamp called Happy Daddy's Day. This little boy is so adorable. I started off by coloring the image with Copic Markers. I paired the image with some My Mind's Eye patterned paper. I love all the different colors. I then matted it all onto Kraft cardstock. I loved Friday's sketch, so I played with it a little again. I added some Bo Buuny double dot ribbon for the finishing touch. I hope you enjoyed the Chi Chi Memories creations I shared with you this month. Be sure to visit the Chi Chi Memories store to see all their wonderful products. Hope you have a fantastic day!!!

CCM - I heart Freddie

Hi!!! I'm back with another sweet Chi Chi Memories image to share with you. This week I get to work with one of my favorite CCM stamps - Elephant Love. I love this adorable elephant named Freddie. He is just too cute and I had to pair him up with some fun Doodlebug Designs patterned paper. He is so festive and I knew he would be perfect for a birthday card. I colored the image with Copic markers using lots of the different colors from the patterned paper. I love working with the CCM digital images. The images are all so cute and fun to color. I am also a big fan of their sketches. Today's card uses the latest sketch - CCM .SC #6. So do you love Freddie or what? Well he's back with a brand new image called Freddie Loves Daddy. So sweet! Be sure to visit me again on Sunday for more fun with Chi Chi Memories.

Thanks for visiting and Have a Great Day!!!

CCM - Baby Flower

Hi Friends! Are you having a wonderful Sunday? I sure am and this little cutie is bringing lots of cheer. This image is from the Baby Flower Set #3 from Chi Chi Memories. This image is so cute and sure to brighten anyone's day. Chi Chi Memories really makes it easy to create with their digital stamps. They have a fantastic gallery for inspiration and sketches to spark your creativity. I am using the Chi Chi Sketch Challenge #4 to create my card. I started off by coloring the main image with Copic Markers. I then die cut the around the image and added some paper piercing . I die cut a scallop circle into my backgound layer and cut it in half. I separated the two pieces creating more space to place my main image and popped it up with 3D foam tape. I added two strips of patterned paper, 3 red brads to the top left corner and stamped the sentiment just below the image. I am really having lots of fun with these digital stamps, so be sure to stop by and visit Chi Chi Memories. They have lots more fun digital stamps to get you creating.


Thanks for visiting and Have a wonderful Sunday!

CCM - Thinking of you

Hi Friends! Today I will be sharing with you the darling image from Chi Chi Memories called I'll give you all my heart. It is available from Chi Chi Memories as a single digital stamp. She is so pretty! I thought the image would be perfect for this week's Chi Chi Memories Sketch Challenge. I started started off by coloring my image with Copic Markers. I then started all my layering. I cut up all my pieces of patterned paper and distressed the edges. I didn't want to hide the bottom layer of pattern paper since it is so pretty, so I decide to cheat a little and paper pierced a rectangle at the bottom. I then finished it with a fine brown ink pen for faux stitching. I stamped the sentiment at the bottom, added two brads at the top and that cute Prima flower at the bottom. There are more creations using this sketch and other wonderful creations at the Chi Chi Memories Community. It's a great place to chat and view lots of goodies from CCM. You will also want to visit the CCM blog to see this week's new release.

Thanks for visiting friends and Have a wonderful Wednesday! I will see you tomorrow for another fun Elzybells Challenge!

CCM - Happy Mommy's Day - Day 2

Hi Friends! I'm back with another Happy Mommy's Day creation for Chi Chi Memories. This card features the sweet girl image and heart bouquet from the set. This little cutie is so adorable. I love her dress. I used the sketch from the first Chi Chi Memories sketch challenge. It went perfectly with these images. I started off by coloring my images with Copic markers and cut them out leaving a thin white border. I used some cute patterned paper from Crate Paper from the Paper Doll Collection for my base background and circle. I then layered a strip of blue paper onto my brown cardstock and added some ribbon to embellish. I finished the card by adding my matted heart bouquet over the ribbon and popping up the girl onto the middle of the circle. I hope you love this little cutie as much as I do. Be sure to check out the Chi Chi Memories Gallery to see the wonderful creations from their Design Team. The shop also has a new release that you will want to see too. Hope you all have a great day and thanks for visiting me!

CCM - Happy Mommy's Day - Day 1

Hello Pals! I am so proud to begin my Guest Designer spot for Chi Chi Memories. Natalie has lots of goodies in her shop from Digital Stamps / Clip Art, Handmade Kawaii items and adorable prints. Lots of cute stuff!!! Just love all the selections! Today and tomorrow I will be sharing with you her adorable Happy Mommy's Day Digital stamp set. For today's card I used the sweet boy image from the set. He was so fun to color, especially the hair. I used My Mind's Eye patterned paper because the argyle pattern had a bit of red in it and I thought that would be great to add in red for the tulip. I added several layers for dimension and popped up the boy image in the center. I added some ribbon and tied on a button for my embellishment. I think this set is perfect for not only cards, but for coloring with kids. I know my niece and nephew would love to color this cute little guy. I can easily enlarge the image to make it easy for them to color. Cool huh? There are so many wonderful stamp sets in the Chi Chi Memories Store. You will have to check them all out. They also have a wonderful community where you can chat and see their fabulous gallery. Lots of Fun!!! I will be back tomorrow with another Happy Mommy's Day creation. Thanks for visiting and Have a Great Day!!!

CCM - Mother's Day!

Hi Friends! I am honored to tell you I have asked to be a Guest Designer for Chi Chi Memories. Although it officially starts in May I just couldn't wait to show you some of Natalie's adorable images. This adorable digital singe stamp image is called Hug. I really wanted to showcase the image, so I sized it down to make a 4.25" x 4.25" square card. It looks so cute in the petite size, but it also looks fabulous in a large size. I think this image would be wonderful for kids to color and give as a gift for Mother's Day. Just perfect for teachers looking for crafty mother's day ideas for their students. I used some more Quite Contrary patterned paper with it's beautiful pinks. The little girl just had to be wearing pink. She is too cute! I know you wanna see more cute stuff, so be sure to visit the Chi Chi Memories Store. The cuteness awaits!
