How does it work??? Watch these quick 
videos to see the magic.

I loved working with this cute frog image
from SheepSki Designs. I colored both
images with Copic markers, adding a 
couple of white dots to the flowers. I had
made a mask of the image so I could sponge
color for the background. The directions 
for the Magic Picture Changer are found
at Lawn Fawn. So many of SheepSki Designs
images would be idea for this style card.

PIP Challenge 2132

We have a brand new sponsor, Lee Holland, and I have no doubt that you will LOVE the creativity available. Any digital need you may have, including images, papers and sentiments, can be found at the Etsy shop.

Be sure to pop over and check out all the fabulous digital images, papers and sentiments they have now! 

Sadly, I am unable to share a creation this week due to a knee injury. I got up on Tuesday (last week) and found I was totally unable to apply any weight on my RIGHT knee. OWIE!! The pain was unbearable so, thankfully, I was able to visit my Ortho doctor the same day. The MRI showed a severe tear in the meniscus and surgery/scope is scheduled for tomorrow, pending insurance authorization. I have been unable to do anything but keep my knee up. Now...keep in mind that my LEFT knee is scheduled for a replacement the end of Sept. sigh...needless to say, since the right knee pain is causing my left knee to support me, the left knee is also painful. Sheesh. Anyway, I may be totally relying on my fabulous design team to carry the challenge inspirations and I have complete faith in them. They ROCK!!

PIP Challenge 2131

  I want to thank our amazing sponsor, 

Star Stampz!!

Be sure to pop over and check out all the fabulous digis they have!  In fact, gcheck them out now!

Here's my card 
The image was printed, and a sentiment
created. I used Copics for the coloring and
a soft blue ink to sponge around the die
cut out image. I used a yellow sparkle pen
to color the sun.
I used a decorative die cut to use against
the background paper behind the image. 
I raised up the image with pop dots and then 
glued the sentiment. All in all, a very easy card.
