Merry Christmas 2013

I couldn't let the holiday go by without using some of Sassy Cheryl's images on some cards.

For Carson and Josie H. and Althea S.:

For Amelia and Vicky O. and BreAnn M:

For Karen O. and Donnie and Amanda:

Happy Christmas Eve!

Santa and Elf

These Rubbernecker images are so much fun to color.  (But I will never understand artist's who insist on putting a circle in the middle of checks -- there are a lot of them that do.)


Santa, hisself, went out to Maya K.:

 And this little elf went out to Mel W. in Florida:

A Precious Christmas

Bildmalarna Christmas 2013

Bildmalarna stamps are so cute, so I used a few for holiday cards this year. 

The first one here was sent to Claire E.  I used some of the Flower Soft that Claire sent me for the greenery around the advent candles and added a little glaze and fake snow to the candles themselves.

For Terrie R.:

For Fiorella C.:

For Dorthy C. and Angela B.:

Just received my latest order of Bildmalarna's and I'm anxious to get to the crafting table and give them a try -- but it will probably have to wait until after Christmas now.  Here's hoping your crafting table is filled with holiday goodies!!

H & S Christmas

   Even more than the Magnolia stamps, as far as nose-less people go, I think I like the Hanglar and Stanglar stamps.  Is it my imagination or do they not lend themselves more to the green and brown tones that I love?  My sources say, that the company is out of business now (I know if one goes to the web site, it is not functioning), it seems I found them too late.  Once again, I am dependent on the kindness of others for these images.  Both colored with Copics. 

My favorite among them went out to Denise Q.:

The male counterpart to this one (and thus my second favorite) went out to Cathy R.:

Like the cards say:  "Merry Christmas!"

Magnolia Galore

Here are the CAS Magnolia cards that I sent out this year.  I think every one of their nose-less faces are lopsided, but they were fun to color all the same.

Christmas Cats and Bears

All the following stamps are from Stampavie, I believe.  They are colored with my trusty Copics.

For Bridget:

The same image with a simpler card design:

A Stampavie teddy for Maria R.:

And a different Stampavie teddy for Mary Smith (this picture is really bad...):

Carson's Christmas Cards

My grandson dug into my stash of stamped Christmas images to make a couple Christmas cards.   Here's what he came up with:

Gotta love 'em!!

You've Got Mail

Recent "just because" cards:

The same LOTV that I used for Amelia's birthday, became a Kindred Spirit card for Maria R.:

I like this little duck, but I did find him a bit hard to color with the limited Copic yellows that I have available.  He went out to Mel W. in Florida.

The doctor insisted that my son was going to be a girl, so naturally everyone bought him pink sleepers before he was born.  Fortunately, he looked good in pink!  Maybe that was my subconscious inspiration for coloring this PM boy in pink PJ's?  It went out to Claudia P.:

A happy Sassy Cheryl bear for Josie in Canada:

A Sassy Cheryl for Niamh O.:

                                            I hope YOU have received some happy mail!!

Happy Birthday

Here are some of the B-day cards that I have sent recently.

For Amelia, because this little LOTV girl could be her twin:

                                                          Happy Birthday everyone!

Fall 2013

Here are a few more simple, simple, simple fall cards using Sassy Cheryl digis.

For Monique:

For Cathy R.:

For Jill A.:

 

The leaves are almost all down, here now.  Here's hoping that I get them raked up before the snow flies!  LOL   Hope you are enjoying some beautiful weather where ever you may be!
