hello, Hello, Hello!!
I'm so *glad* you stopped over today to check out the new challenge blog! It means a lot-- I'm so excited to start this fun, new place...a little part of cyber world where all you crafty-coloring-stamping-cardmaking girls can visit, be inspired, and hopefully find something to brighten your day!
First posts always scare me:). I can't tell you how many times I wrote my own blog's first post. Hit DELETE. Wrote it again. DELETE. *giggles* Truly, they make me super nervous! So...instead of trying to get it all out in one post, (you know, introducing the Dt to you, talking about the stamps and the challenge...all the things I want to excitedly tell you all!), I'm just going to touch on two things today. The Challenge Rules. And giving you some info on the digi's:). All the really fun stuff starts tomorrow-- when I begin to introduce you to my *amazing and talented* Dt:)!! We've gotten to know each other a little over the last two weeks, and I'm so happy and astounded that they want to help me out over here! I have fun posts scheduled to hold us over till Thursday when the challenge starts! It's gonna be fun...Be sure to follow, heart, love, friend-- whatever...just be sure to come along for the ride:)!
The Saturated Canary Challenges will be held bi-weekly, on Thursdays. We have themes and sketches (thank you lovely girls!) to share soon...and fun prizes, too! (Not just digi's, girls...we got us some Etsy sponsors to make it a little sweeter!) There will be posts throughout the week by myself and different Dt members...from tutorials to spotlighting *your creations* to the Friday 6. Yeah-- you gotta wait till next Friday for that post, but it should be some good readin':)! The Challenge Rules are located under the Rules tab on the Nav bar. (Go figure!)...Be sure to give them a once over, just to familiarize yourself:).
As far as the Saturated Canary Digi's being sold on Etsy....First, thank you!
xo !thank you, thank you, thank you! xo
I'm so humbled and thrilled to create images for you to make beautiful! There are amazing, talented ladies buying the digis, and I literally browse through the Saturated Canary Facebook Page freaking out at the screen!! Wow. It is so fun to see the images colored so differently...so unique to each person's style and tastes. You guys are a huge inspiration!:) I just want to keep drawing!!
(Okay--- get back on track Krista:) Fridays are stamp release days:). I have a ton of designs to put on paper! As an artist, I like the freedom of digital art. I can make those slightly more obscure stamps along with the popular ones...I love that. It's fun to make pretty little girly-girls, but a vampire or witch or mermaid sprinkled in keeps things interesting:).
I'm almost finished that first scary post:). Hope I did okay!...
I'd love for you to introduce yourself-- even if we are already friends!:). And I thought it would be fun to run a poll...so please vote on the digi that captures your personality best-- located on the right bottom sidebar:). Thanks again for stopping by...I'm looking so forward to seeing your creations and building wonderful friendships!

Congratulations - I'm absolutely delighted for you. Before I did anything I went to the Rules to see - & YES, I can use a Sugar Nellie Sassy........ Richard & I spent over an hour (so that's two hours) the pair of us trying to get the printer to print a very basic document so it looks like everything conspires against my getting to manage a digital image yet. Anyhow that means I'm on familiar territory with my rubber & ink & can still enter here. Now I badly need to get back into card making mode so this is a huge incentive for me to dare..... Life's a bit upside down still with builders & decorating & the little time imp is being naughty stealing hours again......... You've put a real grin on my face & this post is absolutely fine & delightful & I think your rules are great & fair &..... I'm so thrilled...... shall go have a look at the new images too.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic weekend. This is now on my Top Sites!!!
Much love
Paula (PEP)
Congratulations on your new challenge blog. I was so happy to find that you offered digi through your Etsy shop. I have my first one and will be back for more.
ReplyDeleteWell i see your going to have some very talented ladies creating with your images..i'm super excited to participate in your challenges, as i can't seem to stop coloring your sweet girls...love them all. I'm now following you so i don't miss anything. www.justwordz.ca
ReplyDeleteSuper exciting.. I'm addicted to your stamps already!! Off to shop..
ReplyDeleteThe voting idea was a great way to encourage looking through the whole crew from a different perspective. I decided I'm a mix of Krafty Kate - paper crafts, sewing etc, Pearl - I'm a Pisces = Mermaid & make Jewellery, and also a bit of an Ivy - ex-Accountant, loves puzzles, reading and my computer!
ReplyDeleteJust been to 'vote'. Nevaeh is probably my favourite image, but I think it has to be Kate Krafty who I'm most like. Always surrounded by bits of paper. (plus a bit of glitter !!!)

Hi Krista,
ReplyDeleteyou do already know me-ish. I'm Debbi and I am mum to a 12 year old boy and 2 little girls aged 5 and 6. I teach and demo with Letraset Promarkers in Scotland - how fabulous is that job! as it means I get to colour-in all the time, and the Saturated Canary Digis are an absolute dream to colour
Wishing you and your DT all the very best of luck with your new venture
Debbi
