Hi all! Today I would like to share with you some cards I have made and are now available at Prairie Sky Treasures Kerrobert Saskatchewan. All of the papers I have used are from a variety of Nitwit Collections Digital paper packs.

Collage Rooster

Hi All! Today I'd like to share with you a collage I made for my kitchen. The collage is on a wooden canvas from the dollar store. The pattern for the rooster I got online. The first thing I did was to print off all of the  digital papers, the background wood paper is from pixelscrapper.com and the rest of the digital paper is from nitwitcollections.com. I then printed off the pattern to the size I

I wanted and cut the pieces out, then I laid the cut out pieces on to the pattern paper traced around them and cut them out. Next  following the pattern I glued the pieces into place on the canvas,  after everything was dry I added a little paint on the sun and painted a few white flowers on the hill, I also used a chicken wire stamp here and there on the background. I then  outlined everything with a black marker and sprayed it with an acrylic sealer .  This is the first collage I have ever done and found it to be a lot of fun I already have some plans to some more. Hope you all have a great day!! Val

Valentines Day

Hi All Happy Valentines Day!! Our son was home for a few days last week and we spent some time together in my studio drawing and painting and just having a lot of fun. I had this canvas  I had glued some scraps of patterned paper on so I decided to draw a girl with heart shaped flowers . It's been awhile since I've painted anything I love how she turned out. Hope you all have a great day and I will be back soon. Val

Love You Mom

Hi All! I didn't get a picture taken of the card I was going to post for a different weekend freebie ,but I do have some of this cute new stamp I've been working with. The weekend freebie digital stamp from www.valsdigitaldesigns.com Is Kididdles In Stitches Flower 1. I absolutely love how my card turned out! I love soft colors so I colored the image with prisma pencils in soft green, blue, pink and yellow. To print the image on my paper I used Microsoft word I inserted the first flower and then moved it over and part way down the page resized it and then copy and pasted twice so they were side by side. I then printed it off and cut it to fit the card leaving room at the top for my sentiment. The Love You Mom I created on my computer and also  printed that off , I then cut them out and glued to a scrap of the gingham paper and the cut them out leaving a border of gingham around each word. The white card stock is from Staple's and the gingham is from Nitwit Collections. If you download the weekend freebie and posted what you made on your blog  please post a comment in the comment box below with you blog address, I would love to see what you have made!   Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!  Val
