As You Like It:  Digi or Rubber Stamped?  Wow, that's a tough question!  I have purposes for both!  I like to stamp when I'm putting in backgrounds, working in journals, bible journaling, creating my own papers, etc.  However, I like digis when I'm working with main focal point images for cards, tags, and inserts to journals.  I guess I like the digis since I can more easily manipulate them to meet my needs.  I also like the fact they are easy to store and the selection/price is great!

Thanks for stopping by!  Make yourself at home and feel free to peruse other posts/pages, leave a comment, and/or check out my Pinterest and YouTube Channel.

  2. Hi Katrina! You did an amazing coloring job on this little beauty! I love you you matched the soft pastel tones with the polka dot patter paper and I like the image spotlight being bigger than the side of the box - the frame really provides a nice focal point!

  3. This is gorgeous. The coloring is absolutely perfect. I have decided to make some of these boxes for my grandsons to keep on hand for special surprises. They definitely won't have lovely feminine images on them. Probably more in the way of monsters.

    1. Diane, that made me chuckle... Great idea! I love boxes and such and monsters in lieu of mermaids would be a perfect plan! hahaha ;) So far, I only have grand-girls; so, mermaids and princesses are very popular here.
