Pink Elephant Day...

It's time for a sketch challenge at the Pink Elephant - my favourite as Robin's sketches are just wonderful to follow. Our sponsor this week is The Little Paper Shop and the DT were lucky to be given a couple of digi stamps to play with. I chose Katie on a swing and Little Friends - so cute. If you haven't visited The Little Paper Shop you should they have some really cool stamps and digi images.

I'm disappointed with my girl on the swing birthday card as silly me printed the image smaller than I intended. Don't you just love the way you can print digi images in any size you want? My original plan was to adorn the swing ropes with paper flowers and put one in her hair, but alas the image was too small. Ah well not to worry this version has diamonds and the flowers can make an appearance another day.

My other card is an engagement one - I was thinking along the lines of 'kissing frogs to find a prince'. Maybe I was going too far outside the box I'm not sure. Anyway the computer generated sentiment says 'So glad you found your Prince' and inside the card I've put 'And your Prince found you. Congratulations on your engagement'.

I do hope you'll be able to join us at The Pink Elephant this week. We really have seen an abundance of fantastic talent recently - I know I've gained so much be visiting other peoples blogs and I'm sure the rest of the DT feel the same way. It really is wonderful to have so many people joining us.

These are really lovely cards Ann, and I agree with you about the flexibility of being able to re-size digi images.
