My first colored digi stamp...........(ever)

I have always been fascinated with the digital stamps but never had the real urge to actually use one. I have never understood why people wanted to pay LOTS of money for regular image stamps that you can only use a few times before you get sick and tired of it. I am not talking about the text stamps or background images, just the cute little dollies. Don't get me wrong, I think they are the cutest, I just think I would never spend so much money on something I won't use that much.
Last month we had this huge blog hop over at Let's Scrap and it was all about cards. We had so many uploads to the gallery that there was lots of inspiration. Normally our gallery is mainly filled with scrapbook LO's and with the hop there were mainly cards. Great to see and lots of inspiration. with all those cards there were also quite a few of colored images and many of them were digital ones. Some of them looked like art, they were so pretty done. I am not even aiming for that, LOL. So this week I decided to actually color a digital stamp. I went to Dustin Spike's blog and found this CUTE little dog drooling over a love letter. Dustin Spike designs the coolest digi stamps, cutting files and images for Doodle Dragon Studios. Definitely worth the visit.
I do not own any Copics and I have this beautiful container of aquarel pencils form Caran d'Ache so my goal was to use those. I also had a water brush so I used that one for the blending. It was hard, especially working with the brush but I do like how it turned out.

At this point I am anxiously waiting for the UPS guy to deliver my new camera. Can't wait to start playing with it! 

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a GREAT Friday.  

Winner Let's scrap Leap around the World blog hop

With over 1,200 cards and LO's posted we can say our blog hop over at Let's Scrap was a HUGE success. I can not believe how many people participated and how many cards and LO's were made from my sketches. Some other thing that really impressed me was the amount of people that actually finished all 50 cards.
For all the hosts and participants: Thank you so much!
Every blog has a winner and the master winner's list is posted in our forum. The winner on my blog is: Ana! I have known Ana for quite a while and I absolutely love what she creates. If you have time take a peek at her blog. Ana was also one of those amazing people that finished all 50 cards. Hard for me to pick a favorite but I tried: This is one I really like. It is not my favorite since there are so many I really like.
Congrats Ana!

I have not scrapped for about two weeks, my mojo left and I do not know where to find it. I sure have enough photo's and enough supplies so that can not be the problem. Hopefully I'll be able to find it soon. I would really like to play with our month long challenge over at Let's Scrap.

Thanks so much for popping by and have a great week!
