APTTC - June Sponsor Dr. Digi
Welcome back to my blog!
June along with one of my long time favorite digi sponsor, Dr Digi.
Over the past few decades of being on various design teams I've accumulated a few digi images from Dr. Digi. Love the weirdness of his images.
I have been guest designing for
monthly challenge where its always anything goes. Create any project and share in the challenge.
I began with the main image, Cathy the Cashier.
I created the grocery store and not only did I include Cathy at her cashier register, I also threw in some of her elderly neighborhood friends and pup which are also Dr. Digi images.
The background grocery store is an entirely different scenario.
As I colored in these images I saw some grumpiness, some who did not want to lose their youth, one who smiles yet is getting by one day at a time with the help of her bestest loyal friend.
Then we have Cathy the cashier who smiles with her customer friends. She always has an encouraging word for each and every one of them. Stay well, she says we can make it one day at a time and a little help from our friends.
Keep smiling...
a simple smile can cheer the lowly one.
With my Copic markers I began to color in the images one by one
Then I began tackling the background and food displays.
On the background wall, I used Tim Holtz's distress ink Dried Marigold.
Don't forget to head over and check out the other team member's awesome cards.
Don't forget to swing by the challenge happening over at
A Perfect Time To Craft
and win some digital images to make your own creations with.
Stay well and keep smiling.

I joined in on the challenge by creating this piece using 2 separate images. Aside from the images that I colored using Copic markers.
The fishes and the turtle were fussy cut from a leftover underwater scene. For the underwater colorful grass I used Liquid Pearls.

APTTC - January-Sponsor Conie Fong (2 images)
I volunteered to design a second image for the January challenge which is happening over at
Our sponsor is Conie Fong. I chose to go with 2 Conie images one is Bamboo Pandas and the second is Balloon Bears.
On the Panda Balloon image I used my TH distress inks, crushed olives & peeled paint. I printed and minimized the images to fit an ATC card and colored them w/ copic markers.
I created a small slit beneath the panda to insert part of him into it
and cut some slivers of card stock that I colored to represent grass.
I also hand drew and colored the bamboo sticks some on card stock and some on frosted vellum paper. Below are some samples of how I created and painted them.
************************************************
I began with prepping the ATC using my Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Inks. Setting the ATC aside and printed out the Balloon Bear image and began coloring with my Copic markers.
Liquid Applique was used to form the clouds, I used a heat gun to make it puff up. For the string on the balloons I used thin metal wire, this photo does not do it justice.
If you like, hop on over to
to join in on the Anything Goes challenge before the end of the month.
These images were entered on the following challenges listed below.
Hope you have been inspired.
