Hi Everyone!!! Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments and amazing emails I have received!! I am in awe of all the love and support out there. We are a sisterhood huh?!?! A Sisterhood of Traveling Stamps.... traveling (from blog to blog) and Stamps instead of pants...Ha Ha!! Ok, so I am being silly, but really while reading all the email and even the scripture that some of you passed along, YES I know what I should do!!! I was also thinking today about the friendships I have made BECAUSE of my BLOG!!! Friendship that I would never have made had I not hopped from here to there, not designed for any Design Teams or even been able to accept comments on my blog!!! WOW God is so good and I am so thankful for all of you...All the friends I have made and will make!!!
Ok, now to the FREEBIE Image....I MUST warn you this is ONLY a TEST!!! I have been thinking and praying about do a few digi designs, BUT I have no idea where to start (Any and all advice is welcome). I am thinking I need to purchase one of those Wacom Digital Drawing Tablets, but right now money is SUPER tight!! So until, I know what I am doing or where to start...A friend of mine said why not just draw something and stick it on your blog to see if people will like it. So that is what I did. This little ballerina mouse is a freebie, all I ask is that you leave a comment saying you took it, then make something with it and tell me know what is good and what needs improvement. Now this image is super raw so I know it is NOT perfect and this is not the quality I hope you will want to purchase one day, but I guess I just thought I'd take a baby step in the direction of my own digi stamps.
This will only be offered for free for 1 week, so tell you friends to come here and grab it.
Please do not share.
Please do not copy for anything other than personal use such as coloring and creating a card or scrap page.
Please give me credit when you post to your own blog.
Please remember to leave a comment saying you grabbed her, create something, then link it back here and add your card/project to Mr. Linky (Never know I might just find a few future DT members from what you link) then leave another comment or send me an email with your opinions.
Hope you all like my rough draft!! Thanks so much!!

She's adorable Lori - thanks so much! I'm really busy at the moment with work and the kids so I may not create anything for a while but I've clearly labeled it with your name in a file and I certainly intend to add to this file when you open your digi-shop!
So sorry to read about your SU dilemma but you are doing the right thing and with some guidance from 'the Man above' you won't go wrong!
Best of luck Lori!

LORI! She is darling!!! I find it the hardest to make cards with my own art ... but you are a natural and just so talented. I can't wait to see more of what you create. This mouse was just too fun to work with :)
Thank you for my comment. I am very touched by it, you mean so much to me :)
She's adorable. Wishing you every success with new endeavour.
Oh Lori Im so thrilled you are taking a step towards digital stamps! I hope it all works out for you! Thanks for the freebie and I can't wait to create something with her.
Little ballet mousy rocks! If you need help/advice re scanning and software, I am around and have some cool tips ;) You don't need a tablet but they are some fun!
I love the loose & scribbly look, please don't neaten that part up.. it is delightful.
Good luck with your new venture if you decide to go through with it!
Hugs, Fred

Thanks Lori! She's so cute...can't wait to use her!
I think she's just adorable!!
I can't wait to color her up. Thanks Lori!
I absolutely adore the mouse card - super cute and love the pink and black and white.
your card is just gorgeous - mine is rubbish. Did it last night when I super tired and the light had gone, but hey I joined in and have put a posting on my blog for you. It printed great Lori and I would love you to get some digis on the market especially can we have Ellie?

Good luck with your new venture, I am sure you will be a fabulous success. The market is waiting for someone like you.

What a cutie,.........wishing you much success on your new adventure into digi land. :o) Tracy
Your blog is wonderful, Lori! I've enjoyed my visit and will be back again!
She is so adorable. Thanks for sharing.
YAY for you!!! This is such a great image and I'm really looking forward to what else you come up with!!
Thanks so much for the 'freebie'!!
Love her! I saw on TV the other day (have no idea what I was watching) where a lady was drawing on one of those pen tablets hooked to her computer and I thought of YOU!!! Carmen
OH LORI! I grabbed her, hugged her, spun her around and twirled until her floppy ears got tired. SHE'S adorable!!! I am so excited to see that you are going digi! And yes, you ARE going digi. There's no reason for you not to. lol! I have learned so many things from other digi designers and as we both know, investing in any type of extras with a large family is sooo not practical! Email me if you'd like to chat, I am so definitely not a pro at this but I have bugged the best of them to give me their opinions. ;) teehee...
Ok, I saved it and can't wait to use it...but it's gonna have to wait! I'm so happy for you and I know things will work out!
oh your little mouse is so adorable...keep making digital images they are so cute!!! I will be back to visit your blog because your cards are adorable!
I will also make a card using your little mouse and link it back to you!
Hugs,
Valerie
Such a lovely image, I shall endeavour to make a card using this although I couldnt do as good a job as your card!
Keep creating I think you are great at this!
Thanks for the freebie this time round :O)
Take Care
She's adorable! Thank you. I'll play with her when I get back from dropping my son off at school!
What a cute image!! When I saw the new challenge, Crazy 4 Challenges, and then saw your first digital, here, I had to combine the two together in honor of your first digital!! Good luck with the digi's.
yea for you lori! i don't know a TON about digital design -- but hubby does and I think you should look at Adobe Illustrator - that's what he uses to draw all of his stuff -- and something about vector art giving good results.
Oh - and he doesn't have a wacom tablet - just his mouse - so I'm sure you can get the results you want until the tablet is feasible!
omgosh Lori, yay for you! Your little mouse is so adorable!
I'm so happy for you!
And if the Lord has stirred your heart to do this...you know whatever you put your hand to will be a success!
I snagged her and will definitely use her and spread the word!!!
take care and thank you Lori!!!!
Blessing, Maria
Ok, she is sooo adorable, I snagged her and will be making something soon!
Super cute image! I just scooped her up and I'm heading down to the craft room to play!
Hi Lori,
This image is super cute and I just had to have her. I am now off to try and make something with her and will be back to post later - hopefully today.
I do hope you persevere with your Digi World - if this is anything to go by it will be a huge success.

Hi Lori,
Well here it is - the card I made using your little mouse ballerina. Not sure I have done here justice on her first outing with me but as they say, things can only get better. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
