“Digistamps 4 Joy was born in July 2010. What began as a “brainwave” developed into a rather successful journey…  Started by Mel M, and with the help of talented artists and fellow South Africans JenLee, Margy, Sam, Laura and Mel herself, Digistamps 4 Joy was soon reaching an international audience.  Digistamps was a rather unheard of and new craft to many South Africans with most only having access to them if they had a credit card.  Mel and Jen started brainstorming and soon came up with the idea of starting an online store entirely accessible to all South Africans.  Mel having the experience in web and graphic design, and Jen being a wonderful illustrator work together as a team and produce most of the images many people around the world have come to know and love.  Among the many images, you’re sure to find something you like… from fun and whimsical to cute and funny right through to serious and beautiful. Every month a new freebie is available on the website.
The winner will get her choice of 6 images from the store

 My first project was a tag card using one of Dustin's sweet little mice! I used one of the tag cards I found in Micheal's for a great deal and I'm so happy with the design.
 This is the inside which I decorated in the same dp and added another doily and little Christmas decoration.
Here's a closeup of Dustin's mouse which I colored in copics then layered up three times for some nice dimension. Of course it wouldn't be complete without adding some stickles for the snow!
The second project I made was an altered box that will be a gift for someone special. I've had this image from last year and had not made anything with it until now, but it's been one of my all time favorites from Dustin 
Here's the box laying down so you can see how I ruffled the ribbon. I added some snowflake edging, lace from my stash and the poinsettia and leaf are from Michael's. Wide ribbon I think if from Michael's too. 
Well, I'm hoping to be able to find the time to create some more Christmas goodies over the next couple of weeks but we'll see how that goes! 
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great week. 
Hugs, 
Charlotte

DOODLE DRAGON STUDIOS - NON TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS COLORS

It's Sunday again and time for another Doodle Dragon Studio challenge (Pike's Playground)! We are asking you to create something using one of Dustin's cute images in Non-Traditional Christmas Colors. 
That was actually a hard challenge for me, to go for something non-traditional! I did cheat a bit though as I had this Christmas dp in shades of purple, black, pink and green so that made my decision for me! 
I found these tag shaped cards at Micheal's for about $1.00 and I have to say I love them. Very simple to create with but something new for me and I'll definately be creating with more of them. 
I chose one of Dustin's sweet reindeer to color from his Woodland Fall collection.  
So fly on over to check out my DT sisters gorgeous creations HERE
Come along and play with us at Pike's Playground!
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great day!
