Granmargarets cards-n-stuff: Colors with Pencils

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.

Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.

Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.

I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.

The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. 2025 - Now due to my sore hands and bad eyes I make mostly digital cards and scrapbook pages.

Imagine That Digi of the Month Challenge

Sadly this is the last Digi of the Month challenge at Imagine That
https://imaginethatdigistamp.blogspot.com/2021/12/december-dotm-challenge.html

Every month Kris from Imagine That has been giving a free digi set to join in the challenge and I have really enjoyed doing the challenge each month and will miss it.

Sadly Kris is also closing the Imagine That Shop on 21 December. She is having a closing sale so if there is anything you would like now is the time to buy it before the shop is closed.

I have layered one of the digi stamps from the Gingerbread and Cookies 'n Cocoa set onto
Imagine That papers from Gingerbread papers set
Coloured the digi with Prismacolor pencils
Added ribbon and bow from Digital Scrapbooking Studio

I followed sketch 221 at Sweet Sketch Wednesday (I rotated the sketch)
