TGF's Farm Fresh Friday -- Digi it!

Hi!  Time for The Greeting Farm's FFF!  Jess Marin is the host this week and her theme is digis! 

So I finally printed out Cheer Anya!  She's so happy!  I colored her in my daughter's new school colors!  The sentiment is from TGF's Anya Says that I got from one of their Farmer's Markets. 

Close up of Cheer Anya.  My daughter got pom poms from her school too!  I thought that was cute.  She also got a school shirt though I don't understand what is written on it.  Some kind of new school cheer.  She learned all kinds of neat stuff over the summer that I never knew.

Hope you'll print out a TGF digi and join in on this week's FFF!  Thanks for reading! 

Spring bling

Hi!  Okay, so I cheated on my stamp diet.  I know, I'm so weak especially when there are so many cute stamps on my wish list.  I bought my first Wryn and actually my first ever Tiddly Inks stamp.  Wryn is so adorable that even though I'm not such a big fan of digis, I had to get at least one.  So  I decided to get Spring Bling cause I thought she would be a very versatile image great for any special occasion.  I have to also thank Christy because she was so quick and friendly when I had problems getting my links to the digis.  Great customer service!

I decided to use the sketch over at Ribbon Carousel Challenge cause sometimes, well, most of the time, I think I'm design challenged.  I really admire folks that can crank out those sketches and create pretty cards.  

I think this Wryn is so adorable!  I'll be entering this also in Tiddly Inks Challenge 80--Sparkle it Up! so I added some rhinestones in the corner and stickles on the flowers.  I bought a whole bunch of these rhinestones in different colors from Walmart.  I think they were only a dollar for 60 in a package.  But now I never see them in stock when I check.  Glad I bought a whole bunch then.

Maybe this is a better view of the stickles on the flowers. 

So the difficult thing I have with digis is just getting them to dry well so the lines don't smear.  I think I had to use my hair dryer on this for about 2 minutes and there was still a tiny smear by her cheek.  (Now everyone's gonna look for it).  I tried to avoid coloring over her eyes cause that I'm sure would've smeared.  And the other thing is, what size do you print your digis out at?  I think I reduced this one to 3x3 inches but I'm never really sure what is a good average size that would work well on a regular card.

Now I'm gonna color some other digis I bought.  Yes, more diet cheating but I promise I didn't go overboard.  Thanks for reading!
