I used one of the new digital stamps from the Can You Digi It? Store which is having its grand opening starting this week. I am going to be a guest designer for awhile, and I am so excited!
I made this card for theThe C.Y.D.I. blog challenge which began today. It is an inspiration challenge an you can find details on my blog. The challenge pictures are all about iPhones or iPhone based food. I am one of those late-adopters - actually, I am a late, late, late-adopter for a million reasons including: my kids take all my money so I can't afford a new expensive phone; I tried to use my daughter's iPhone and I couldn't get the screens to enlarge, slow down, or go where I wanted them to; and I don't have the time to stay in touch enough to justify an iPhone (hello, I post on Facebook like once a month). So I have to just dream about a day when I get more money, more time, and more coordination. LOL! Are you suppose to have an inspiration card that requires that much explanation? Oh well..
This image was created by LilyPink Designs. I love what the artist said about it; she said it has a "slightly grungy, text-based, messy look that seems to be so hot at the moment..."

Nancy...a huge congrats on your GDT position. I have no doubt you'll do them proud. What an awesome card. I love your cloud and the dangly hearts. It goes without saying that I love the bird. I guess you could say, 'I digi it'.

YAAAAAY, Nancy, I am so happy for you being a guest on the Design Team for Can you DIGI it? So proud to see your talent recognized this way!! If I can ever figure out how to do digis decently, I will meander over to join your challenges!!
Love your wonderful version of ...a "slightly grungy, text-based, messy look that seems to be so hot at the moment..." - ROFLOL!!! What a description - your card looks very well thought out and conveys a good thought, urging us to DREAM!! I think we all want more time, more freedom, but you already have the wonderful coordination already - this card is proof!! LYMI!!

Congratulations on your GD gig - the CYDI people are very lucky to have you. Best wishes on this new endeavor. You certainly got a phenomenal start as GD...this rocks. The grungy paper, distressing and erratic stitching really give this an edgy feel. The juxtaposition of the pearls, stick pin and girly bow take your brain in a different direction all at once. Superbly crafted card.

Hey here it is. I knew I missed this one. I had to come looking for it. I love this. It has a modern feel to it. Like something I would find in an exclusive furniture store to hang on my wall. It's so artistic-I love it.
