Hello my friends, as some of you may know, I'm part of the SKdigis design team. Sonia, the owner and designer of SKdigis, decided to stop the weekly challenge since this is the time of the year when everyone is so busy getting ready for the holidays. The good news is that instead of weekly challenges, we're having a month long linking party. Basically, you can link any of your creations using SKdigis as the main image for a chance to win a wonderful prize. For more details about the linking party and rules, please go to SKdigis.
In addition, SKdigis will have monthly releases and each member of the design team will create samples showcasing the new images. SKdigis new images for the month of November are way too cute and I had a hard time choosing an image for my sample card. I ended up using the "Day and Night" image. Isn't the cutest thing ever? I used Mojo Monday Sketch #250 and colored the image with Copics. I hope you like my sample card as much as I do.
If you would like check out the rest of the design team's creations or to play along with us and be part of this month's linking party, head over to SKdigis. Thanks for stopping by my little blog!

The Cat in The Hat Costume
Hello my friends. Hope you're having a wonderful day. Today, I wanted to share with you The Cat in the Hat costume I made for my son. Today is "Dress Up as a Storybook Character Day" at my son's school and since his favorite book is The Cat in The Hat, I decided to make a costume for him.
For the hat I used a tutorial I found on Pinterest. The lady at http://mamalusco.blogspot.com/2010/02/dr-seuss-hat-tutorial.html did an amazing job explaining how to make the hat. I just had to make minor modifications to her design in order to fit my son's head.
The Cat in The Hat t-shirt was my own idea. I used an old black t-shirt, red and white felt. I drew a pattern free-hand for The Cat in the Hat white belly and then transferred and cut it onto white felt. Then I sewed the white felt to the t-shirt. Yup, that simple!
My son loved it and couldn't wait to wear and show off his Cat in The Hat costume today. Hope you like it too! Thanks for stopping by my little blog and hope to see you soon!

Challenge 5: Spooky Nights
Hello friends,
Hope you're having a wonderful beginning of the Fall Season! I'm enjoying the cooler temperature although I've been fighting a nasty cold since last week and still feeling under the weather. Being sick has kept me home a lot, so I have been spending some time on Pinterest and also I've been working on a couple of craft projects including a card for this week's challenge at SKdigis.
Let me start by saying that this week's challenge is sponsored by Barb from BugBites who has included one of Sonia's design in her recently released stamp set. Isn't that amazing? This week's challenge is to create a craft/card/layout using any of the cute Ghost digis Sonia has in her shop. I created a card using the Scared Ghost digital image which can be bought here. Sentiment is computer generated. To check the rest of the DT creations or to link up your creations for a change to win this week's prize, please visit us at SKdigis.
