Last Christmas Card

This has got to be my favorite Christmas card this year. Truth be told, it almost didn't get made. I thought I had made enough, got them all stamped and mailed and then got a card and realized I hadn't sent one in return.

I colored the image with copics and added some highlights with spica glitter pens and a white gel pen.

I layered the image on a snowflake embossed piece of cardstock and then added a layer of pink to tie it all together.

Thanks for looking!

Frosty Friend

This frozen fellow is from Sassy Cheryl's. I love his hat
and coat. I colored him with copics and then cut the image out with Nestabilities. I added a base of patterned paper and red and pink cardstock. The pink snowflake is cut from a Nestabilities die and layered with a couple of buttons. I added some sparkle to his buttons and the snow with Spica glitter pens and Stickles.
This has to be one of my favorite Christmas cards of the year. Hope you enjoy it as well. Thanks for looking!

Last Halloween Card

I finally got the house in order and had time to get down to my craft room and finish up my last Halloween card. It seems like every year my card list gets longer and longer. No problem, just means I have to start making them a little earlier to be sure I have time to get them all done.

This is an image from Sassy Cheryl's, you probably recognize her from earlier posts. I think she is so darn cute, and our youngest daughter just loves candy corn so it reminds me of her every time I see it.

Kept it pretty simple this time around, just used some copics, spica glitter pens, die cuts and a little black ribbon to finish it off.

Thanks for looking!

More Halloween Cards

I have about a dozen Halloween cards to make this year. Most are going to kids or families so I'm trying to keep the images cute instead of scary.

This little witch is a digital stamp from Sassy Cheryl's. I colored her with copics and then added some sparkle to her dress and hat. Looks like she is ready for a night out!

Thanks for looking.

Happy Independence Day!!!

Before I get to the details about my card I wanted to take a minute and thank all of those who have served or are currently serving in our military, both at home and overseas to ensure that we all have our freedom. I think sometimes we tend to lose sight of what Independence Day truly represents. If you have a chance take a minute and reflect upon just how lucky we are to be American's!!! BTW as the very proud wife of an active duty member of the USAF I also would like to add an extra special thank you to all the friends and family members (Moms, Dads, Wives, Husbands, you know who you are) supporting all of our great service members!!! They couldn't do their very important jobs without your support!

I will hop down off my soapbox now and tell you a little about my card. This is for my granddaughter, to remind her how much her Mimi misses her. The digital stamp is from Sassy Cheryl's and the paper is from We Are Memory Keepers. Added the star border with a MS punch.

Enjoy the holiday!

Birthday Baker

This is a card for my niece's upcoming birthday. It is kind of funny to think of our siblings as parents sometimes, especially as their kids get older.

I got the digital stamp from Sassy Cheryl's. She has the cutest line of bakers. Something about a triple stack of cupcakes grabbed my attention.

I colored her with copics and added glitter with spica pens then added some glossy accents to her bowl and the cupcakes. I used some Queen & Co. pearls on her dress and for the cherry on top of the cupcake. The pink ric rac is from my stash. The green corners were punched with an EK Success punch. The patterned paper is some Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday (Sunday) that I have had for a while.

Hope you are having a great week!
