BRING ON SPRING

Only a few more days and Spring will be officially here so, what better way to kick off the first day of Spring this Sunday but, celebrating a little early.  Our Sponsor is Crafty Sentiments Designs.

Not only do they have Digital Stamps and papers but they also have Clear Polymer Stamps and a few extra things.  Please check them out here. 

The challenge this time around is to show us your Spring Creations.  Crafty Sentiments Designs is so kind to offer the winner of this challenge 3 digis.  Thank you so much!!!  Also, don't forget you will also have a chance to win a spot as a Guest Design Team Member for one of our challenges. 

Our girls used these 3 cute images from Crafty Sentiments Designs.  Toby In Pot, Toby In Bag, and Vicky.

Please meet our Guest Design Team Member Kevin.

Hi My name is Kevin, I have been card making for about four years now.

  I also paint and make salt dough figures. I am totally blind in my left eye,

    so it takes me longer to colour images and to produce my finished cards

  but I am never happier than when I am creating.

I am delighted to be joining the Stampin with the Dragon team as a

  Guest designer for this challenge.     

Please stop by Kevin's blog here and leave him a comment. 

Thank you Kevin for joining us!!!

ST Patrick'd Day

Hello! Hard to believe it's March and thankfully Spring is around the corner. YAY!!!  Also, one of my favorite days falls in March and thats St. Patrick's Day.  Im not Irish but, I love everything about celebrating it!  So, that will bring us to our next challenge. 

This challenge is being brought to you by our Sponsor Tiffany's Doodles. 

Hi! I'm Tiffany, owner of TiffanyDoodles. My background is web design, graphic design & photography. I have been self employed for nine years and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my work! Since childhood, I've always been creative and taken great pleasure in drawing and painting. In 2009, I discovered the stamping and paper crafting world and just fell in love!! In a very short order, I began transforming some of my drawings and doodles into digis. It has truly been a joy to share them with folks. I get so thrilled every time I see something new that someone has created with one of my stamps!! Each design is like a child of mine and it is really neat to see it all grown up and out in the world being all it can be. LOL!

All of my digital stamps are originally created by me and of the multiple styles I offer, most are hand-drawn images. Some are brushed up in Photoshop using the pen tool to produce very clean lines and others are left with a sketchy, rustic, hand-drawn look. An additional digi-style is one that I've dubbed as PhotoSketches and these are images from my photographs which I transformed into sketches with a little help from Photoshop. These beauties make splendid realistic images for stamping!

Please stop by Tiffany's store here.  You will be missing out on all the cute images that she has to offer.

The challenge this time is to create a project/card using the colors GREEN, GOLD/YELLOW, and WHITE in the Theme of St Daricks Day. 

FIRST PRIZE WILL BE 2 DIGITAL IMAGES FROM TIFFANY'S DOODLES STORE.

SECOND PRIZE WILL BE A GUEST DESIGNER TEAM SPOT FOR OUR NEXT CHALLENGE.

Thank you so much Tiffany!!!!!

This week we also have a Guest Design Team Member so please say hello to Jenny!!!!

Hi...my name is Jenny and I LOVE cardmaking! I have been crafting for about 8 years... and have acquired quite a few stamps/digi stamps in that time!! which I love to colour with promarkers and prismas

I love using bold, bright patterned papers and trying out different card layouts. I also enjoy taking part in the many card challenge blogs around

I am thrilled to be joining the 'Stampin with the Dragon' team as Guest Designer today.

Here is Jenny's creation using our Rupert St. Paddy Day which you can find here.
