Sweet & Simple...

Need a quick and simple treat for a teacher, friends, co-workers, etc...? Have you checked out the new images recently released by DRS Designs? This release includes two of the cutest little critter images...I showed you one in my Monday post this week and here is the other one...



I paired the new candy cane Christmas critter with a tube filled with candy canes! You can find these clear tubes at All That Scraps. There are two other new images on this tag as well. Here is a close up..



Isn't this sentiment perfect for this treat? The holly giga circle was a perfect compliment to both images. Some jewels and a ribbon on the critters ear finished things off.

Thanks for checking in...
See you soon...

Pleeeaasse...

Isn't the face on this sweet little kitten the cutest? This is one of a pair of Christmas critters newly released by DRS Designs in the last couple of weeks.



I chose to keep the design on this one simple. This card could easily be mass produced for your holiday card making needs! As a bonus (which can be omitted if you are mass producing), I stamped the image twice and colored just the gift twice and cut it out and adhered over the first with a pop dot. Some jewels, a Martha Stewart border punch and a fancy button finished things off.

Thanks for checking in...
See you soon...

See you soon...

A Wonderful Thanksgiving...

Aren't the latest Cutie Pie Kids from DRS Designs...cute? They are part of the recent release by DRS Designs and they join all their other friends that are part of the Cutie Pie Kid Collection.

Remember how DRS is sponsoring the 2sfy blog this week? Well, here is the sketch again, flipped!



This sketch just seems to call for the focal panel to be a sentiment! I think this one is so pretty in feeling and in the font! Can you spy another stamp on my card? I used the new leaf circle behind the sentiment panel and added jewels to the little circles in the image.

Thanks for checking in...
See you soon...

2Sketches4U!!

Well, actually, I only have one for you today! But check back later in the week and I just might have a Christmas version of this sketch! DRS Designs is hosting the sketch challenge blog 2Sketches4U this week.

Here is my card for the challenge, images by DRS Designs...



I used one of the new sentiments that was released last week, along with a candy corn image from the last release! DRS has a great candy corn background image that would have been perfect for this card but somehow that must be the one DRS image that I don't have!!! Is that possible? LOL I'll have to make sure I fix that before Halloween rolls around again!!! This was a great sketch for using a sentiment as a focal point. Sme alternating ribbons and jewels finished things off.

Be sure to stop by the 2sketches4u blog and check out their DT's cards using DRS images. Participate in the challenge and you could win yourself a DRS Designs gift certificate.
