Sundays With Crissy- Whimsy Fairy Daydreams/ ODBD sneak peak and some news!!

6:21 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Hello All!! I hope you are all having a great week!! Life has been busy here and I have been neglecting my blog. I must admit I did try to comment but my computer, Blogger and Firefox had other ideas. GRRR!!!

Anywho today I have lots to share and catch up on....

First it is my turn to share a de-stressed or distressed creation with you at Sunday's With Crissy!! Such a fun challenge!! For my card I used the darling Fairy Daydreams image (available at Whimsy stamps) illustrated by Crissy. I colored it with copics. For my distressing I used ink on my sentiment panel and a distressing tool to rough up on the edges on the rest of the card. The sentiment is from Whismy's sentiment collection and is called Summer Letter Seals. The flowers are from Wild Orchid and prima. I also added my homemade croceted flowers. The dp is Basic Grey but I am unsure from which pad....sorry!!

You have a few more days to join in on the DT call over at Sunday's With Crissy. If you love her images, here is your chance..... and....... To enter your De-stressed creation Click HERE!!!

There will be five free digi's given to one lucky challenge participant who will be chosen by Random.org at the end of the month! You may now use images from any company and still be included in the draw for the blog candy prize! Those who use one of Crissy's images, either from her rubber or digital collections will be entered twice in the draw. But please respect the rule of no more than three entries per month.
