Chi Chi Memories Day!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today is my last post as a guest design team member for Chi Chi Memories! However, I love their images, so I will still be using them and posting what I make with them. The images that I used today are from their new set called "Autumn Memories". It is so adorable. You need to hop on over to their blog and store and check out the entire set! I used "Little Bear", and the tree from the tree and house image of that set.

To create the frame that the image is in, I used my Spellbinder's Scalloped Frame di-cut, and to make the border on the card base, I used a combination of my Stampin Up scalloped border punch and it's coordinating corner punch. The leaves by little Bear's feet were made with a leaf punch that I got at the Target dollar spot a couple of years ago.

Before I sign off, I just want to thank the owner of CCM, Natalie, for the opportunity to be a guest DT member, I had a wonderful time and I will keep using CCM images.

Until next time..... Blessings,

Chi Chi Memories Day!

More Chi Chi Memories Cuteness to share today! The image is called "Hugs", and isn't it cute?! It would look cute on so many things, a scrapbook page, a Mother's Day card or a birthday card for mom from her daughter.
Anyhoo, here is what I used to make this card: Stampin Up Lavender Lace and Pretty in Pink card stock, retired SU ribbon from the set Flirty, Sparkle brad from Michael's, Circle and Scallop Circle Spellbinder's Nestibilities, and Sizzix embossing folder from Thank You set #4. Hope you enjoy it's cuteness, and then head over to the CCM blog and store and see all of the other cute images they have to offer!

Until next time........Blessings,

ChiChi Memories Halloween!

Hello. Happy Wednesday to everyone! I am showing you another Halloween image from Chi Chi Memories today! It is one of two Ghost Puppets, and it is sooo cute!

I wanted to make it look like it was blowing in the wind like the puppet, so I added that interesting patterned paper that I found in my stash. Then I remembered that I had some white satin ghost ribbon in my stash too, so I added a little bit of that to add to the ghost theme that I had going. The clear sticky gems were a last minute thought. I love bling! That's about it, I love them simple and not too cluttered.

Now, hop on over to the CCM blog (link on my sidebar) and take a look at the absolutely adorable Fall themed image set that Natalie has recently added. It is sooo adorable!

See you back here on Thursday for Stamp-n-doodle, and Friday for a little bit of Stampin Up!

Blessings,

ChiChi Memories Halloween!

Hello. I am back and it is a Happy Wednesday! I love my Chi Chi Memories Wednesdays, their images are way to cute. They have a new set out full of Fall images, so hop on over to their blog and store to see it! I personally have my eye on the cute little bear carrying the big acorn! Too cute for words! Just look for the CCM logo on my sidebar and click on it!

Anyhoo.........I have a square card with some spooky Halloween candles on it to show you today. The candles are from the Halloween image set! Here is what I made:

To start with, CCM gives everyone a chance each week to win some free CCM images by hosting a sketch challenge, I am using sketch challenge CCM.SC#15 and the spooky candle image of the Halloween set for my card this week. If you have been following my blog for very long, then you know that I love all things that shimmer and sparkle, so I could not resist to use some of my black glitter card stock (from The Paper Company) for the two strips behind the image. Then, I decided to add some more to match that glitter by adding some Doodlebug Design fine black glitter to the melting top portions of the candles. Move that card around in the light, and it sparkles like crazy! I just wish my camera could capture it better. Anyhoo, the corner embellishments of course had to be sticky gems, I chose orange ones from Doodlebug Designs.

So, come back and visit me next Wednesday because I have one more Halloween image from CCM to show off to you!

Until next time......Blessings,

ChiChi Memories Halloween!

Hello, Happy Wednesday! I just can't get enough of these Chi Chi Memories Halloween images, they are so adorable. I still have a couple more of them to show off, so keep coming back each Wednesday to see what ideas I come up with.

I love this little bear too, Natalie, owner of CCM, puts this little guy in most of her images. I want to hug him. Anyhoo, I was having a creative block, and then decided to cut him out and place him on one of my Spellbinder's Labels Six di-cuts. then, I cut out another Label Six di-cut, cut it in half, and decided on the above layout. Of course I hadto add some bling, so I used my orange sticky gems by EK Success. Now, hop on over to the CCM store and blog, see my sidebar for a link, and see all of the cute images that they have to offer.

Until Thursday.............Blessings,

ChiChi Memories Halloween Images!

Hello, Happy Wednesday to everyone! I hope everyone is having a good week. I am having a very busy week of card making! Lets see, there is Chi Chi Memories, tomorrow I will show you some Soft Pencil and Stamp-n-doodle, Saturday I will be showing you more Sugar Creek Hollow, and I am also working on some extra stuff for Soft Pencil and their adorable Halloween Clip Art, and out of the kindness of my heart, I am working on a fall card for my old Stampin Up leader/friend for her to use for her upcoming workshop. Phew! Kidding, it's all fun.

Well, as you know, CCM has recently released a new Halloween stamp set, and I am going to show you a card made with another one of those images! It is the cutest owl with a witches hat on, "love it!". So, here it is:

Don't you want to reach out and touch this little owl? I think he is adorable! I colored him with my Stampin UP markers, then cut him out. I mounted him on some DCWV card stock, the purple layer is also DCWV (Die Cuts With a View). The patterned paper is unknown brand to me as it was a gift from a friend (Thanks Kerry). Of course the white card base is SU Whisper White. The sentiment is also a CCM image that comes with the Halloween set. The card layout is a sketch challenge over on Splitcoast Stampers; SC283. As always you can find the sketch challenges in their forums section of the website.

Now, hop on over to the CCM blog and store by clicking on one of the blinkies on my sidebar. I saw that they just released another new set of images called Tea Party and it is soooooo cute!

Until next time........Blessings, Lisa

ChiChi Memories Halloween Images!

Welcome back! Here is my big announcement that I mentioned this morning on my blog: I found this wonderful online Digi Image store (thanks to my good friend Kerry) called Chi Chi Memories. You may remember that I posted a couple of cards with their freebie image on previous posts in response to their weekly sketch challenges! Yay, you know how I love a sketch challenge! Well, they were looking for a couple of guest designers for September and October and yes, you guest it, I am one of the honored ones!!!!! They have such cute images, and they just recently released some Halloween images that I am so happy to be working with.

Here is the first one that I have the pleasure of creating with:

Batty cuteness, don't you think? The Sentiment also comes with the halloween image set. The nice thing also is that CCM images can be purchased as a set, or as singles! Awesome!!!

So, what products did I use to put this little Halloween cutie together? OK........

All card stock is Stampin Up: Yoyo Yellow, Night of Navy, Whisper White. the punched bat border at the bottom is EK Success, the bats on the tag were made with a Martha Stewart Punch, The tag was actually made with a tag template that I have had around for years, the fiber on the tag is EK Success, and I colored the images with my cool grey Berol Prismacolor Pencils. Oh and the moon under the bat was cut with one of my Spellbinder's Nestibilities Circle di-cuts.

Now, look over on my sidebar to find the links to the other DT members blogs, and the CCM blog and store! You have got to go see all of their images, they are adorable.

Oh, and don't forget that today I also made a post with Sugar Creek Hollow images, please scroll down for that one and visit those DT members also, they make some amazing creations!

Until next time........ Blessings, Lisa

It's a CCM Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone! I have recently been introduced to a digital image company called Chi Chi Memories, which are one of the cutest collections of images around. I followed and posted a sketch challenge on here awhile back with their freebie image, and I found yet another sketch challenge this week that I had to try with the same freebie image. The image makes me think of a baby, so I made a baby card with it. Here is the sketch, and below is the card that I made with it.

Sorry my peeps for using the same image over again, I am unemployed, so I am unable to purchase any new ones! This is why I am participating in the sketch challenge, because they give away freebie images to one lucky winner of each challenge that they post over on their blog. Which you can find here. I plan to add a blinkie over on my sidebar, so that you can always find them if you want to. Anyways, hop on over there and take a look at their store, and grab the freebie and play along with their sketch challenges, you might just win some free.

Please come back and visit me tomorrow for Soft Pencil Thursday and Stamp-n-doodle Thursday! Friday, I will be posting something.....hmmm, you will just have to come back on Friday to find out!

Until next time..... Blessings, Lisa

I found a new Digi images company! too cute!

Introducing the freebie offered over at the Chi Chi Memories Blog and Store:

This is my card for this week's sketch challenge, I am trying to win a free stamp set. Here is the sketch below, and above is my take on it.

I'll hopefully be able to come back later and give you some more details on the card, but I have two more posts to do today and I have been feeling under the weather today literally (heat issues)! ! ! have patience with me please. Thanks.

Hugs to all, Lisa

P.S. To my friend Kerry, it is all your fault that I am now hooked on another digi image company. LOL
