Now Sammi is branching out and creating her own digi range and I have used her Mad for Markers Party Digi Image

The inside is a popped out birthday cake (sorry it is pink Sammi, can you believe I had no purple glitter paper or glitter!!!X().  I cut the candles and coloured the flame using copics.

Cupcake ribbon on the front and back from Crafty Ribbons.  Used glitter cardstock for the cake and SU glitter for the icing.

A closer look to see the added spica pen detail and special effects

Had to get Rosanna to hold this bunch together lol!

Sammi's digi Beach Gal Tag for a Scrapbooking Page

Hope you are all well, I'm feeling a little sorry for myself at the moment lol!  Had toothache for four days, so went to see the dentist (Tues) and I had a choice of having the three nerves taken out and a cap fitted (approx. $4,000) or it being pulled, so after much pulling I am now one tooth less lol!  Dentist reckons my jawbone had a good grip lol!  There is an absess so on antibiotics for a week, so my mojo is AWOL!  Moaning out of the way lol!

Today I would like to show you a tag I have made using Sammi's digi image 'Beach Gal' available from the store here.  Thought she was just perfect for a Beach scrapbooking page.  The tag has the date and a little bit about the day.

Door Hanger using Sammi's Copic Fairy

Hi all, Our talented DT Boss Lady Sammi has been doodling and gave us this cute 'Copic Fairy' to play with, now I was just imagining how nice it would be to craft in peace and quiet (which doesn't happen often enough lol!) and the idea was born to make a door hanger.  Just might be good enough to put on the door for our 'Colour Copic Confence 2011' held in October at Sydney full details here.  We sure would love to see you.

Used my MS Butterfly punches, and coloured the clear rhinestones with BV08, YG09, YR16, now these are not in the photo as I added the rhinestones on later!  (Morgan would like a little mention as he helped colour and pass them to me for sticking on!).  SU punches for handle hole.  Have used spicas in various places (outer edge of wings, hair band, boots and SU dazzling diamond glitter for the wings.

A closer look at the various glitters, rhinestones and sparkly fairy ribbon

Copics used, thought I would have a go with a photo, as always wanted to do this lol!  But think I will stick to a list in future, as it is couldn't get them all the right way round!

The Mad for Markers Store now has the full selection of Sketch and ciaos in stock for a faster delivery service, there are various Xpress It sticky tapes, Xpress Blend It Paper, Flourish with bling embellishments. Posting to New Zealand and Australia.  In March Sammi will also be stocking 'The Greeting Farm Stamps' and 'LaLa Land Stamps'.

We the DT look forward to seeing your amazing creations, don't forget to stop over at the blog each day for more crazy hair colouring inspiration from the DT.
