The Greeting Farm Super Secret Stamp Club~SLUMBER

Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you've had a great week so far! It's almost the weekend, WOOT, WOOT! Today, I'm sharing my latest card using stamp #3 in the Super Secret Stamp Club from The Greeting Farm. Her name is SLUMBER and she'll be released in the TGF Store soon so you'll be able to snatch her up.

If you are part of the SSSC then you should have started receiving your new stamps from round 2 of sign-ups. We are approaching June and just FYI....we'll be opening up Round 3 of sign-ups for the SSSC. Remember that the SSSC stamps are released as a set of 3 for a special price so the best deal is to sign-up for the Club when the enrollment comes around. A few months after they are released, the stamps are put in the store individually at a higher price.

I'm loving all the stamps released as part of the SSSC!! This one is so adorable and I had so much fun coloring her.

By LORi Designs~So Ella Release and a new artist to BLD!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm so glad the weekend is finally here!! I can't wait to spend some quality time with my little boy. He always brings a smile to my face. This weekend he said he wanted to spoil me, but with my money because he doesn't have any...isn't he so sweet? He can't keep a secret though for the life of him, LOL! They are making Mother's Day projects at school and whatever he brings home he has to give it to me right away. He always asks if I want it now or to wait until Sunday. When I say I'll wait until Sunday he still gives it to me!! He just can't help himself, hahaha!

We have some special things going on today at By LORi Designs. First, we are introducing some new images drawn by Lori's 9-year-old daughter Ella. She is soooo talented...just like her momma! We had a "So Ella" release a couple of weeks ago. Well, Ella is on fire and drawing up more so today we have another release. These cuties are now in the BLD Store:

So Ella - Bible Girl
So Ella - Skater Girl
So Ella - Gamer Boy
So Ella - Super Girl

My card today features Gamer Boy....LOVE him!! My son is totally into Minecraft so I had to make this card for him. We are even doing a Minecraft birthday party for him this summer. I found lots of free printables online. Now I just have to find the time to hand-make everything!! I found the sentiment on Deviant Art (deviantart.com). The dp right behind it was part of a free Minecraft Digital Paper Pack HERE. The striped dp was in my stash.

 
We also have a new artist joining the BLD team. Her name is Dawn Moore and she draws the cutest animals!! She's been drawing digis for a while and has a lot of freebies on her blog, Lost in Paper Scraps. But now she's creating new digis for By LORi Designs. I LOVED coloring these cuties up and I know you will enjoy them also!!

I made two cards, one featuring Bird with Lollipop and one card showcasing her Turtle image.


I used a Mojo Monday Sketch for my turtle card. When you are running out of ideas, sketches help out tremendously to get past those creative blocks. Be sure to head over to the BLD Store to snatch up your new digis!!

Have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Rosie :)

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope it's been a great weekend so far for you. They always go by so fast don't they? My little guy had a sleep over last night so it was a busy day yesterday. It was actually an easy night for me because they played video games and watched movies, which gave me time to do some coloring. :)
 
I'm back today to share my latest card for By LORi Designs using a newly release digi called Puddle Jumper SCOUT. I think he's so adorable and would be a great addition to those Father's Day cards coming up. Making this card reminded my of my dad who loved to go fishing.
