Nov DT Wicked Designs Devious Debbie Digi

Hi Everyone ;)

Here is my second DT of Nov for Wicked Designs by Brenda. I am using the Devious Debbie digi.  She is so cute. I have put her on the cover an altered Golden Book that I am making for my grand-daughter to put photo's of her inside :)

She is three dimensional which seems to be my favorite thing to do. Debbie is colored with colored pencils :)  My pictures aren't that great and I apologize because they don't seem to pick up how cute Debbie looks fussy cut and thinking up her next mischievous plan :) ( Just like my grand daughter who is only 18mn but seems to always be thinking of something to get into ;) )

Thank you Brenda for the chance to be on the team. I hope my next two projects show the hard work you put into making these digi's :)

Christmas Has Been Cancelled!!

Sorry to everyone who was wishing to celebrate Christmas this year. Apparently there was a tornado that struck Christmas Land and took everything away and dropped it in my living room!

My big Christmas tree makes Charlie Browns look amazing  It's FLAT!! So much work to puff it out is ahead. Guess I'll be turning on all the fans and playing Christmas movies until it is rejuvenated by the cheer. Hope that works.

I didn't decorate last year and my Santa's are expressing their displeasure and my angels are frightful and my Christmas Village seems to have called in the zombies. It might just be the Nightmare Before Christmas around here for a bit  I'm going to need a month plus to make it all work 

But you know Christmas isn't cancelled because I love Christmas! I love the lights, music and the 100+ versions of a Christmas Carol and I plan to watch them all. We don't have to be drawn in to buying everything that's out there being sold. Couldn't afford to if I wanted to. I just like decorating and remembering all the great christmas' that I've had with my family.

So if a Scrooge is what you wish to be then do it if that's what makes you happy! But Christmas makes me happy!!

Have a happy day everyone! I'll think of you all as I bring life back to the forgotten Christmas Land that is now my living room

Will take better pictures after the rooms are complete :)

Afternoon Delight ~ Nov DT Project Wicked Designs by Brenda

Hi Everyone :)

Today I have for you one of my Wicked Designs by Brenda Digi DT Projects for Nov. I used "Afternoon Delight" and I love her hat and was the inspiration for the project. She is colored with colored pencils and outlined with generic marker. The vintage crochet hat is from a thrift store as wall was the seam binding. The flowers are made by me :) Hope is inspires you to try out a new digistamp and make something spectacular :)
