Hi Everybody!
I hope you all had a pleasant weekend:-)
We were out picking blueberries again this morning, picked about 35 pounds, that will be it for the year, its our third time picking and I'm just about about chiggered out.
(For those of you who don't know what chiggers are, they're a mite that lives in tall grass and berry patches. check out the pictures at the end of this post)
Anyway!
THis is a really cute digi by Whimsy And Stars . You can find this sweetie right here.
Ive colored her with my usual prismacolors on Kraft cardstock.
The papers are DCWV and the punch is Martha Stewart.
The ribbons, buttons and button thread are all from Sew Sweet. Gotta love that place, this stuff is gorgeous to work with!
The sentiment tickets are form Whimsy. I've distressed them a bit with distress inks.
OK, so back to the chiggers. here's an up close picture of the red devil!
And here's what they do!
(btw, this is not my leg, I shave mine. lol)
They itch like crazy and last a long time.
It's the price we pay for berries. :-)
OK! So I hope you all have a great day, Happy Crafting!

How utterly gorgeous!! Love the kraft and softness - the papers are so pretty and love the distressed tickets!
Dorcas,
This is another Beautiful card. Your coloring is wonderful. I'm practicing. My goal is to color like you do with colored pencils. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.
Love your colors and papers. And it goes without saying that I love your coloring and the cute image you've used. Have a great day. Hugs, dj
Fabulous as ever, Dorcas. Your papers & layout are just right. Had never heard of chiggers & they look disgusting! Hope you have something to put on those bites.

Delightful artwork! I hate chiggers! Maybe you should spray your body before picking berries!

Ok, those chiggers suck!! I would NOT be picking berries at all! i get eaten alive by mosquitoes, I couldn't imagine those things!!
Gorgeous card, love it when you color on kraft paper!!
Very sweet! Love the layers of paper and the tickets! Your coloring is great too! Have you been practicing? LOL! When your new colors arrive there will be no holding you back. I think those are your legs too! LOl At least blueberry picking is through till next year! I always thought they were very small.

Hey sweetie! Thought I'd popped in cause I've kind of missed you:) Your card is adorable, love the colors and the image is so sweet!
Hehe, you guys must have wanted badly those berries:) Hope that leg will soon heal, must be really annoying.
I'll be on a one week vacation starting with Friday but I shall let you know by then again.
Hugs, Iulia
Mmmmm...I do love blueberries!! (but I DON'T like chiggers)
Beautiful card as always Dorcas, love your DP combo. ~jeni :)
Your card is so pretty! Love the images from Whimsy and Stars.
My husband lived in Arkansas for several years as a child, and at 70, he still bears the little white scars from those nasty chiggers all over his legs!
Such a sweet card. Your coloring is amazing. :)
My grandmother always rubbed rubbing alcohol around hers/our ankles and bottom of our legs to keep chiggers off. She lived in the woods and it worked like a charm. You can also pour a little bleach in your bath water and they will jump right out! :)
Hugs,
Heather
YAY! Dorcas came to play with us at the Kraft Journal. Love the card! Your coloring on kraft is always amazing. You have kept me chuckling with stories for the last couple of days. Hairy chigger legs, friends who've lost clothing for various reasons, etc. There's never a dull moment around you is there. LOL Thanks for playing our challenge this week!
Hi Dorcas a really gorgeous and sweet card, those papers are to die for.
Sorry to see hubby got bitten, Im just getting over a terrible horsefly bite to my left ear, youd never seen anything like it. hugs Shirleyxx
Your card is so pretty, Dorcas!
Dorcas this is gorgeous...the card not the chiggers hehe. I love how you colored this! Thanks for joining us at Cupcake Inspirations this week!
