And there is more! Some of the digi's offered in the store are being turned into clear polymer stamps later in the year! So if you prefer the motion and feel of real stamping, then stay tuned!
Right, onto business! During the Blog Hop you'll see a selection of images used which are the January new releases and all are the quality and humour you'd expect to see! Plus some sentiments and sayings from Sassy Say'n's by Marlooney! If you've never visited her blog, then please do so, but make sure you're not of a nervous disposition and that you are alone as I howl with laughter!!
For my card, I've used Revenge of the Nerd Ned, coloured him with Promarkers and used papers from DCWV - 6x6 Retro Paper Stack. And if you notice he is looking a little odd in colour, that is down to the fact that we'd used a new energy saving bulb in a lamp that has not been switched on for a fair while and it sort of made the colours look different than they did in real life..... hehehe! Poor chap looks like he's not seen the light of day for a while anyway!
You can join in the Blog Hop at any point - just keep going until you come back to your starting point!

Ah what a fun geek reminds me of a few boys I went to school with and several medical students I have encounteed in my time, a really fun image.Thanks for taking the time to share and happy new year.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job in shading Ned - his coloring looks perfect.

Doesn't everyone have memories of nerdy boys in school that are like this....come to think about it, still do know a few that look like this! Love the pen ink on the bottom of the pocket! I love your DSP layout. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...your Nerdy Ned is just too cute! I love the pp that you went with...the geometric designs look like something he would so be in to. Thanks so much for sharing. Hope you have a safe and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteNed is definitely a nerd and you did a fantastic job on him! I love the different papers and the way you laid them out. Awesome job! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteNed was inspired by a boy I went to school with. LOL We fondly referred to him as the "walking encyclopedia". Whenever we would have debates about a subject we would go get "Ned" and get him to referee. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love all the little background pieces, reminds me of what must be happening in his little noggin.
I have the same problem with the new "eco friendly" lite bulbs we purchased. Everything seems yellow. So I have a lamp with a 'regular' bulb - no shade and I use that to light up my area when I'm taking my photos. It seems to help, now if I could just get my pictures straight. LOL
You did a fab job on him, so sweet, love the bg papers !! Happy New Year !!
ReplyDeletelove the image!
