Chi Chi Memories - She Loves you

With it being February I can't seem to stop making Valentine's Day cards.  I think a lot of it has to do with that I am so sick of winter and can't get the mood to pull out any of my winter images.  This week's card using one of the images from the new set, Meaning of Fun  which you can get your set HERE.

Digi's With Attitude! - Color Challenge

Welcome to another week at Digi's With Attitude!  We are so excited to see all the entries each week and we hope you continue to come back!  This week's challenge is to use either PINK/WHITE or RED/WHITE!

Now to my card....I used Valentine's Diva for my image and my papers are from Bo Bunny. Added a little ribbon and some sparkle and that was it :)

Stamp Insanity - Non tradional Valentine's challenge

Have you ever seen the images that Beth has over at Stamp Insanity??  She has a something for everyone over there, even images for us Twilight fans!!  I feel in love with the images over there back when I found the store last summer.  It seemed like I never got a chance to use any of the one's I have BUT.........I do know!! Today is my very first day as a Groovy Girl!!  Yup, I am on the design team for Stamp Insanity!!!

Today's challenge at the Asylum is to create a valentine's using non-traditional colors, items, etc..  All you need to do is stay away from the reds, pinks that you normally see for Valentine's day :)

My card today uses Sweet Henry, who is dressed in his finest with a box of chocolates :)  I went with teals, greens and black for my card and tried to stay away from all of the frills.

Head on over to the blog to see what the other Groovie's have for you today!

Chi Chi Memories - My Little Princess coloring book

If you are like me and have a little one, you know they just love to be right by you while you are creating something and it of course they have do what you're doing.  Well tonight I decided to make my little girl a mini coloring book.  Nothing to fancy but enough to keep her busy for about five minutes LOL


One the cover (which is 6 x 8 1/2), I used the cute little Princess Candace and placed her on a heart cut out that my daughter drew on.  I added a little border and a couple other little images. I also put on a lot of stickles cause those are her favorite :)

and here are a couple of the pages which I just printed on computer paper.

In the end I ended up using every image in the Puppet Show set but it was just a fun and quick little project to keep your little one busy :)
