DDLL - Lili the Skunk

Hey All My Crafty Friends

Welcome to another digital Thursday for Digital Delights by Louby Loo.  This week I am using the super "Stinkin" cute digi Lili the Skunk. 

I am so glad the weather is starting to warm up and the cold days of winter are almost behind us.  Spring is my favorite time of year and I so look forward to seeing butterflies and dragonflies flying in the air.  There is just something really enchanting about watching a butterfly fly through the air.  Makes me know that God's amazing grace is always around. So when I saw Lili holding the sweet little butterfly ... It reminded me that I am so thankful for the many blessings in my life and how special our time here is...

As I always say its the journey through life that is most important... For a butterfly their life is not that long..but there journey to being a butterfly is what makes them simply amazing.  :0)

So on to today's project :

Digital Delights by Louby Loo Bonnie

Hey All My Crafty Friends

Well here is my first project for DDLL as a design team member.  I used the cute little digi named BONNIE to make the sweetest little birthday card ever.... Isn't she just the cutest.. The card went together in a flash.. From start to finish the card only took me about 20 minutes to totally complete.  That's one of my favorite things about DDLL stamps, they are all so cute the possiblities are endless... The hardest part is figuring out what papers to use..

Sweet Little Bonnie

wishing someone a HAPPY BIRTHDAY :0)

I also added a few butterflies (Martha Stewart) and bent them in the middle to give a 3D effect

And you know me we had to have some BLING !! (Flower Centers)

I colored Bonnie with Copic Markers (still learning the technique but getting better!!) :0)

And the pattered paper is from the DCWV Spring Stack (2010)

Happy Birthday Sentiment is also from DDLL

White Card Base cut @ 5 1/4 x 5 1/4

Pink Mat cut @ 5 x 5

Pattern Paper cut @ 4 3/4 x 4 3/4

So I think I did pretty good for my first DT project and can't wait to do the next one...DDLL stamps are so addictive the possibilities are truly endless...

So jump on over to DIGITAL DELIGHTS and pick up some of these wonderful digi stamps.

Until Next Time
