Penguins

I made 4 of these cards. They were all a little different. Sent 3 of them to my grand kids. It was a digital image but I don't know from who. I added Stickles Distress Rock Candy to the snow lines. Added Diamond Glaze to the tree and snowballs.

Done with my holiday cards.

Finished up the last of my cards. I need to get addressed and stamped now. I guess I will post one a day until they are all here. Several I made duplicates of.

I need to get busy with birthday cards now. My Angela's is the day before Christmas. We always do the big celebration on Christmas Eve. I have several birthdays coming up the first 2 weeks in January so time to get with it.

This card was done in 2 versions. One had red crystal lacquer and one had green. They both look real nice.

Finishing up my holiday cards.

I am almost finished with my cards. I figure I have a few more days before I get them in the mail. I need to start getting them uploaded each day. This card was stamped with Stazon on sleek paper. The oversize snowflake I have had for a couple of years in my stash

Christmas Cocoa

I try to post every 2 days. Looks like I forgot yesterday.

This card was made with a digital image from TLC. I colored with Copics. Put some Diamond Glaze on the marshmellows and candy cane.

I have been making lots of holiday cards. I need to get some pictures taken and posted

I am waiting for my granddaughter and family to arrive from Gold Beach which is 4 hours from here. They got a late start. They are coming to the big city to do some gift shopping.

Pink poodles for Christmas

I made this card for my 9 year old grandaughter. The Poodle is a digital image colored with Copics. What little girl doesn't like pink although she told me a few months ago that purple was now her favorite color

Christmas cheer, Santa is near

This was a fun card. I made 2 like this and am using different paper for 2 more. The digital image is from Bugaboo. The digital sentiment is from TLC. I used Copic markers and also some Spica glitter pens to color her dress. I also used some Sakura Crystal Lacquer on the berries and bulbs. To fasten the ribbon I used my Tim Holtz tiny stapler for the first time. I was pretty impressed.

I just finished the other version so I added it. It appears as the first picture

OWH-I am nuts and bolts about you

I did this card in primary colors for the boys and the girls and then one in very girly colors. I did 7 of each. My mind is a blank on this Black Friday morning. I need to look and see if these were digis. I did them a couple of weeks ago and I have slept since then. It is Stampendous wood mounted stamp I bought just to make these cards for OWH. I kept one of them out to send later to my 6 year old grandson Taylor.

I need to go look at more adds to see what kind of shopping I will do when day breaks.

When the weather outside is Fros-Tea

I really enjoyed making this card. I have been so caught up in making cards for OWH that I have neglected making other cards. I made this card with a digital image and sentiment from TLC. The paper came with the embossed trees. I colored the image with Copics and used Spica glitter pens on the flakes. I cut and mounted on the DCWV glitter paper in pale lavender. Punched the snowflakes with the glitter paper too. Added some Swarovski crystals for a little more bling. On the sentiment I added Distress Rock Candy Stickles for the snow. I plan on making some cards like this.

TLC challenge

I did this challenge to show my support for all the hard work Paulette does on her blog. I have never figured out how to put a link in a post but you can find a link to her site on my sidebar blog roll.

Although this was a vintage image I needed a more modern look. I will use this as a Valentine for Operation Write Home. I had to restrict the size of the card to A2 so I was limited with embelishments. I colored with Copics and I have to tell you that pie crust gave me fits. I have done pie crust on an image before and it was no fun. I finally used E30 Bisque as a base and went from there on this one. It may very well be my last try at crust. lol The paper is from Basic Grey. I put the red background through my Cuttlebug and added the lace.

Thank you Paulette. Now I need to see if I can link this to your blog.

OWH-Girls rock too!

This is the last of my rock cards. I made 8, 2 of each design. Made them nice and feminine. I am tired of embossing with black embossing powder. You think you have every little stray piece of powder off until you emboss. Maybe next time I will use clear embossing powder. Whoever heard of green flowers in real life. These Primas were perfect! Made the cards a little edgie. All of the flowers are Prima. The first 2 cards were made with discontinued Basic Grey papers.
