Season's Tweetings

Greetings from chilly Pennsylvania! Wind chills have us in the teens this evening. Winter is just around the corner so we better get used to it I guess? Sure do miss the long daylight hours specially when it comes to trying to get decent photos. Was cutting it close today so sorry if my photo is a bit off. Anyway onto my card! I've used a digi stamp that I believe was a freebie from High Hopes? I colored it with my Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  I sponged some distress ink around the edge of my image and than added stickles on top. I placed it on a Lacey circle die cut and wove ribbon in thru the holes and added a double bow. For the finishing touch I put a blinged up snowflake in the corner. I wanted to add the sentiment "Season's Tweetings" and thought I had a stamp set with that saying but if I do it must be hiding?! Or maybe I just dreamed it? It's now on my wish list to buy and add later. Ok that's all for now. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Meowy Christmas

Hello! I have an adorable Christmas card to share with you today, had a lot of fun coloring this one. It's a High Hopes stamp called Christmas Cats Block. I used my Copic markers and added some red stickles to the bow and bird's hat. I used the current Your Next Stamp sketch. I could have swore I had a Meowy Christmas sentiment somewhere but couldn't find it anywhere so I just went with Merry Christmas. I keep this one with the traditional Red, Green and White color theme. Might have to try to change it up some next time?! Anyway thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!!

Father Christmas

 

Hello! Our Anniversary Celebration continues this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches. This week the theme to go along with the sketch is Christmas in July. I'm not a big "Santa" person but awhile back I won some High Hopes stamps and this Father Christmas Block caught my eye. It was fun to color, I love the way the image is framed. I also picked up the kitty framed image, I'm sure you'll be seeing a card with that in the future. The prize this week fits the theme Christmas, a picture is posted below. Can't wait to see what you'll come up with this week! Be sure to stop by an see what the rest of the DT has done this week.

Meowy Christmas

Hello! I did some more Christmas in July challenges. I used this adorable little kitty from High Hopes that my freind Lori gave me the other year for Christmas! LOVE this little guy! The flowers were from the bridal shower section at M's, not sure if they still carry them or not. They came in a cute little bucket and in several different colors. I used the off white ones and colored them with my copic markers to match my card. I also colored some pearls to match. Gotta love those copic's!! Thanks for stopping by!! Have a great week!

Christmas Kitty

Hello! Today I have another multiple challenge card for you! The Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge this week was to have a present somewhere on your card. When I saw the High Hopes sketch challenge this week I knew that I could turn the one panel into a present pretty easily. It's also for the La-La's weekly Wednesday challenge which was to use buttons and for the Stamp TV technique challenge to use Liquid Applique. It's for the Pollycraft Monday challenge to create something with a Christmas theme and for the Kraftin Kimmie challenge which is Touchy Feely. I think the Liquid Applique works for that and I did some dry embossing also! I'm tickled with how this card turned out! Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think. Have a great day!

Make a wish

The High Hopes Challenge this week is "All about Kids" we were to use kid images or cards created with kids in mind. I always seem to need Kids Birthday cards so this was the perfect chance to make one. I seem to have the hardest time with "boy" cards, it so much easier to do frilly girl cards! I am happy with how this one turned out though. The colors are a little off in my photo, it's been so cloudy here all week. The polka dots DP is more green in real life. I popped the ballons up for some dimension. Thanks for stopping by!
