CDS Pirates Ahoy Preview and a New Delightful Challenge

Hello my friends!!!

Today i'm Excited to share with you a preview of the new Louby Loo Creations stamp set "Pirate's Ahoy" from Clear Dollar Stamps. This set will be available April 1st.

I had such a blast playing with this adorable set. Is he not the cutest little pirate? Below is the full Pirates Ahoy set. I love how all the accessories are separate, it leaves you the option of how you want your pirate to look.
and if that weren't enough, there are optional digi stamp accessories available at Digital Delights.
below i'm showing the colored version but the black and white version is also available. I used the map image on my card and i think it just adds so much. Used together this set is Perfect for children's cards and scrapbook pages.
So be sure to visit Clear Dollar Stamps and the Digital Delights store on April 1st to grab yours!!!

We also have a new challenge going on at Delightful Sketches and Challenges. For the next two weeks we want you to

GET OUT YOUR PUNCHES


For this challenge i used the Wonderland Briley image from Digital Delights. I used my flower stamp punch from SU! to punch out the flowers i used in the middle of some chipboard flowers i had. I just layered them on top of each other, added a white flat back pearl and wahla a whole new flower.
The sketch i used is from Amy R's Friday sketch. with the addition of all my flowers it's kind of covered up but i promise it's there. lol.

As with all of our challenges we have a Fabulous Sponsor, Simon Says Stamp.


I hope you play along with us, I can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Are you all ready for some fabulous New Releases from Digital Delights? I am thrilled to introduce you to Wendy's new Underwater Adventure release. Now are these not the Cutest Underwater Friends Ever?

For my card i paired up this beautiful Caprice dp from Ctmh to use with this adorable little Seahorse digi. I also used the plant life from the Under the sea background image, added a little dry embossing using the D'vine swirls embossing folder to give an underwater feel. For the bubbles i used Denim Oregon raindrops from The Pink Hedgehog Paper Crafts. I have also used them in the middle of my flowers and have used celery Oregon raindrops under my plant life. I finished off my card with brown twine and some prima flowers. The sentiment is one i came up with and printed off my computer. Of coarse this is only one image from this amazing set, You must visit the Digital Delights blog to see what my fabulous DT sisters created using more images.

It's also time for a New Delightful Sketch and I can't wait for you to play along.

I added some clear and red sparkles to the dp. the sentiment i used is from a set from Sassy Studios. I matted it to a circle i punched from orange glitter paper. I also used some glitter and glitter gel pens on peyton. I used some whimsycal buttons i got long ago from Ctmh and added some sparkles to the flowers.

Well now it's time for you to grab some buttons and bling and see what you come up with. As always there is a fabulous prize, and our sponsor for this challenge is SIMON SAYS STAMP with a $20.00 Gift Certificate to their store.
