Breast Cancer Encouragement Card + Turkey Freebie

This week I decided to make a card for my son's preschool teacher. She was just diagnosed this past week with breast cancer. I just wanted to cheer her up a bit. So I used Lindsay's new set of bold black & white digital papers. I opened the paper that I wanted in my publisher program. I right-clicked on the paper and chose format picture/object. Then I clicked on the "recolor" button. Then I just chose a sassy color of pink! I am in love with this zebra print. It isn't your typical print. It is very artistic looking!

I also used Linday's breast cancer awareness digi stamp. It is an old freebie, but you can still get it here. I used my paint.net program to add the zebra print to the bra as well. You can see my tutorial for doing this here. I just added a couple of doodle flourishes behind the image and a bit of ribbon and inking to the edges.

I found this quote on google and put it inside. This card qualifies for the following challenges: Aly's Stampin' Challenge (distressing), City Crafter (get your digi on), Color Cue 9 (Pink, white, grey, black), Cow Girl Sunday (bling it on), Craft your Passion (Anything goes), Crafty Card Makers (use digi in unusual way), Incy Wincy (Anything goes), Inktegrity (Anything goes), Lexi's Creations (Anything Goes), My Sheri (Get well), Paper Players (anything goes), Stamp Something (pink), Wee Memories, (free 4 all)

I also wanted to show you Lindsay's two new sets! You can read more about them here.  She's been a busy gal!

Hallowen Digi Stamp Cupcake Wrappers

Hello everyone! It's Thursday again! This week I decided I just wasn't in the mood to make a card, so instead I made cupcakes! Definately more calories than card making. I'll have to tell you it was very difficult not to eat the cupcake while photographing it! To make these cupcake wrappers, I simply used Lindsay's "Blank Cupcake Wrapper Template". This template is so worth it! Only $1.00 and you get a blank template, plus a birthday stamped template! Wow! This blank template is so versatile! All I had to do was layer my digi stamps on top of the template and print! Just a tip, using png files instead of jpeg makes this a lot easier! Lindsay offers both. So for these wrappers I used the following stamps: Harry the spider and the Happy Haunting sentiment from the Cute Halloween Collection, several pieces from the Creepy Crow Collection.

The first wrapper got messed up and then I changed my mind and decided to print it on orange cardstock instead. I'm really glad I made that mistake, because I like the orange so much better!
