May your Christmas be merry....

Hmmm, won't be long now!  The little ones are getting excited, with big smiles similar to this little guy, while the adults are probably still rushing around trying to get things done.  Of course some people are super organized and have been ready for ages....that is so annoying!  ha ha

This is a KennyK image coloured with markers and mounted on some festive DP from Wild Rose Studio.  Bright festive colours and a perky little elf....seemed like the perfect card for a friend of mine.  Someone with a great sense of humor who always makes me smile.

Merry Christmas everyone, and wishing you all the best for the New Year.  Many thanks for stopping by and having a peek at some of my posts, and thanks too for the lovely comments.

Just a few snowflakes

Well, the big day is almost here and still no snow....yay!  Although others won't be so happy, it's like Mother Nature is smiling on me....giving me more time to recover from my surgery.  I can still get out and about without fear of slipping and sliding.  Although we have had snow-less Christmases before, I think this is the first that I recall where the grass is still mostly green, rather than brown.

 So, I am more than happy to make a Christmas card with a bit of snow in it, and some colourful snowmen in the DP.  The image is a rubber stamp from LOTV, coloured with water colours, with some flocking for the white trim on the hat, and liquid applique for the falling snow.

Some of the supplies used:

Crate Paper - Snow Day collection

Spellbinders die - Labels Twenty Two

Elizabeth Craft Designs die - Merry Christmas

Martha Stuart punches - Alpine Snowflake & Pine Branch

Gold peel-off border

Hoping all is well with you and yours, and your holiday preparations are nearly complete!  Thanks for stopping by.

Thumbs up and ready to go!

It won't be long now, until the big guy is sliding down the chimney.  He's thumbs up and ready to go!  This is one of the new Christmas digis from Dr Digi's House of Stamps....titled Simply Santa.  Fun to colour and sure to be a hit with the little ones.  The sentiment is also one of Dr Digi's creations and can be found here.  Now, if I could just speed things up a bit so that I could be ready for the big day too!

Other supplies used:
Copics and liquid applique for image

Special delivery....

Well, we know the little ones like the snow, but the older ones (like me!)....not so much.  Looking at the forecast, I don't think I have to worry about a white Christmas, in fact the grass is still rather green and some are wondering if it might need another cut.  Wouldn't that be something!

One of my grandson's delivers papers, so one guess where this card is going....

This is another fun image from Kenny K, don't you love the smile?  After colouring with markers, I've cut him out then attached him to the snowflake dp with foam tabs.  The sentiment and additional stamping all uses stamps from the Inkadinkado - Foliage Trails stamp set.  With just a bit of paper candi and paper contrast, it makes for a nice bright card...all ready to go.

Good morning everyone.  Today's another grey one, with lots of clouds and no sun, but at least it's mild with no snow....yet.   So maybe today's card will provide a little brightening!
