The Joy of Color

I think one of my greatest inspirations when it comes to creating my digital stamp projects is the image itself. B/W Digital Stamps just cry out for me to grab something to color them in with.Guess I am still a lil girl at heart and I just love to color, to see something in black and white lines come alive. Some of my fondest memories as a child where of sitting with my sister at the feet of my great Aunt Dee and coloring while she sat in her chair and watched a bit of television, probably Art Linkletter or Merv Griffin.  She always had a special place on her bookshelf with color books just for us and one of the Giant boxes of Crayola Crayons. All those color choices and a crayon sharpener in the back of the box. This lil girl was in Heaven.

This wee lil image from Melissa at MelJens Designs, entitled Little Teenie, just made me smile as I added bright greens, oranges and a bit of purple. Naturally a brightly colored image deserves an equally bright and colorful background to find a home on.

Another set of images that just had to have lots of bright bold color: Turtle's Little Star and Starfish Buddies

Thank You for stopping by and I hope your day is filled with sunshine and color, no matter what the weather in your neck of the woods.

For My Tweeties

Made these 2 cards for my 5 lil Tweeties, 3 grandaughters (Sage, Jade and Rane) in Texas and 2 grandaughters (Chessa Jean and Zipporah or Zippy) in Japan. Oh how I wish they lived closer, but for the time being I get my "Grandma Fix" by teaching the children at Church, 3-11 yrs. If I'm really lucky a couple of them talk their parents into letting them sit with me during Sacrament Meeting (Worship Service), I bring a "Grandma Bag" full of goodies just in case.

The images are MELJEN Designs digital stamps. I used Tweet Heart Birds and Sweet Lace Heart . I just love the versatility of digital images, being able to resize, crop, insert sentiments, mirror-image, etc. Just print them out, color, create. The best part, no storage problem. Just be sure to back up your computer ;o). I only discovered the wonder of Digital Stamps a couple of months ago, if you've never tried them, give em' a whirl. MELJENS offers freebies for you to download and try. They're free and they're CUTE as a Button.
