Bella Bunny Boo

I just had to make this little Bella Bunny Boo digi from Sassy's Cheryl...!!!!

Bella looks like my beloved doggie Taibo.  Taibo is mostly whiteish with undertones of beige, so I just added a few flicks  here and there to add in his "lowlights"!  Isn't he just adorable sitting there with his tilted head?  

I made two of these cards...one for my son (or Taibo's brudder) ...and one for my 'grand-doggies'  Billy and Porter.  I am sure they will recognize him right away when they get this in the mail!  

Scan N Cut 2 details:
 I sized this image in word so that it was about 4.5 inches tall. I cut it out with my Scan N Cut 2. That was a little tricky because this image has a lot of open lines. I did choose the color image scan option, even though it was a black and white image. The B&W option wanted to recognize all the lines even if I only wanted an outside cut.  I finally had to close the openings in with pencil, which I erased after I got it to cut out.  I had to scan numerous times before I got the perfect outline cut. I then cut a blank outline for the back of the card. I used a .12 offset. This card fits easily into an A2 envelope. 

I am sharing Bella/Taibo with the following challenges: (Please visit these challenge blogs...there is soooo much inspiration to be seen!)

In Loving Memory of Henry Anderson

Sarah Anderson was one of my very first "blogger" friends. She sent me my first copic colored House Mouse card.

Sarah is living a parents worst nightmare...the loss of her 3 year old son Henry. Henry passed away last week from a virus he could not fight. The stamping community is sending their love and support to Sarah in many ways. Pink Cat Studio has started a fundraiser that you can read about here. The proceeds from the sale of this sweet little giraffe digi stamp will go towards the purchase of a memorial tree to be planted in Henry's honor at his favorite zoo.

Please keep Sarah and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

3 Clover's Thursday Challenge #26-Techie Time

3 Clovers Thursday Challenge this week is Techie Time....now let me tell you...I am so MAD at Kerry...look what she has started! Kerry...what have you done to me???? I have a hard enough time resisting stamps but you have opened up a whole new arena of stamping.

KERRY...you are in so much trouble...oh wait...I think I have that wrong...I am in so much trouble! I have found some wonderful digi sites you might want to browse! I fell in love with Mo's digi's(Digital Pencil Too) from my very first siting! She has some wonderful little boy digi's as well as LOTS of others too. I bought this digi from her site HERE.

I have not really messed around with digi's before, so this was a learning curve for me. I had a digi project all completed when I found this digi a couple days ago. I ran home from work last night, downloaded it in just a few minutes and then tried to figure out how to resize it. I am not that techie and since I had to be out the door in 15 minutes (BUNCO night) I asked my son to resize it and print it out on some GP white and make the size about the size of a small apple. Pretty specific directions huh? Well, I got home well after 10...grabbed my small apple sized digi(s) and ran upstairs to play. La de dah...next thing I knew it was 12.30am! These images are just addictive and fun to play with!

I did not have any trouble with the printed image bleeding or smearing with my copics, but the images had been printed for several hours before I got to them so maybe that worked as well as heat setting the printer ink!

I am sure many of you have seen Dustin Pike's digi's! He has some of the cutest out there. Every Wednesday he shares a freebie on his site. I have always downloaded them, but have not sat down to work one up yet...I am sure that is going to change.

I suggest you hop on over to "the trouble maker's" blog and see what the rest of the challenge team came up with for this fun techie challenge! I think you will find a whole new world out there...I have...
