Can't Sleep - A Day for Daisies

I love this sweet little image from A Day for Daisies.  Their new challenge is Traditional Christmas Colors and I thought that she would be perfect and just adorable in her red and green jammies. I'm pretty sure she can't sleep because she is waiting for Santa. Isn't the teddy bear sweet as can be?

I know that after Christmas, I won't be in the mood for making Christmas cards, so I am going to enjoy it for now.  This card will be donated next Christmas.

Sugar Nellie - I Like To Be Pretty

Good Morning!  I finally got caught up with housework, so I am making some more Christmas cards.  This adorable image from Sugar Nellie reminds me of my sweet niece, Bridget.  I kept this very clean and simple.  I thought the image was so sweet and not too much more was needed.

This is one of the first digi stamps that I bought years ago.  I was testing the waters over whether or not stamping and card making would be something I would enjoy.  Yes, I love it! It definitely has been fun.  Slowly (okay, maybe not), I have made an investment with many crafting tools, papers, glues, copic markers and way too much more to mention.

On this image, I used Crayola colored pencils. I thought about redoing her with Copics, but I just thought she was too cute not to use.  This is the last card for the November/December, I Feel the Love Project, which completes my goal of ten cards.  I wish I could do more, but I am not good at mass producing and it takes me a while to find just the right sentiments for inside and out.

I have so many cute images left that I would love to color and make a few more Christmas cards, but I really have to clean the house!  :)

Cute Penguin

I seem to have a love for penguins and reindeer this holiday season.  This cutie is from Pink Gem Designs.  She is pre-colored.  I just had to add the love.  :)

She is headed to the I Feel the Love Project for Nov/Dec which is creating holiday cards for kids that will be in the hospital over the holidays.

Let it Snow {I'm Ready}!

I adore these cute little reindeer stamps and the sentiments are adorable, too.  This card was created for the I Feel the Love Project. The project this month is holiday cards for kids who will be in the hospital during the holidays.  Please click on the link above if you would like to learn more about this awesome non-profit organization.

I am not too pleased with the coloring on this sweet guy, but sometimes you just have to go with it.  :) I was trying for a plush reindeer look.  Uh oh, he is more of a "spotted" reindeer.  I think he will bring a smile, so off he will go to spread a little holiday cheer.

Christmas Scene for I Feel the Love Project

Hi Everyone!  My goal is 10 cards for the I Feel the Love Project.  We are making cards for kids who can't be home this holiday season.  Please click the link above for more information or if you would like to join in!  My card this time is a little winter scene.  It looks like the little penguin is running for the gift.  :)

These penguins from Mama Elephant are adorable.  What's not to love?

I have had a blast using them on my Christmas cards.  They are a little outside of my usual, but that makes them even more fun.  I am becoming attached to all the sweet little critter stamps and dies that are out now. Really sweet for kids cards (adults, too!)

Aren't these sweet angels just cute as can be?  I chose to keep it simple and used very soft colors.  This little stamp is called Nativity Angels and is by LOTV.  I think it is just adorable.  As a matter of fact, I loved it so much that I bought two without realizing it!  LOL.

Little Christmas Angel

 I made this card for the Design Team call for Whimsy Stamps.
I love this stamp, Little Christmas Angel by Chrissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps.
Isn't she beautiful?

I would love the opportunity to be a part of the Whimsy Stamps Design team.  I hope to inspire others.  If one person finds the love for card making and more through my designs, well, it just doesn't get better than that, does it?  I had a great time on past design teams and have found that crafters are some of the nicest people.  :)

Punkin Pickup

Here is my final card for the I Feel the Love Project for October.  We are making Thanksgiving cards for some lovely seniors.  What a privilege! 

 For this card, I decided to use a new stamp from Sassy Cheryl, Punkin Pickup.

She is so darn cute, isn't she?

I love Cheryl's stamps.  I have been using them for several years.  They are sure to bring a smile to your face.

Snow Day Tag

This is my first experience with Lawn Fawn Stamps.  This set is just too darn cute.  I am looking forward to making several gift tags with this set.

I just love the bunnies.  I used a Fiskar's Tag Maker Punch.  This punch is so easy to use and just the right size.  It has an eyelet hole punch and an eyelet setter right on the punch!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I made this card for the "I Feel the Love Project" for November.  The Thanksgiving cards will go to the Atascadero Christian Home.  It is a retirement community.  If you like to make cards to bring joy to others, this is a great site.  She has a new "project" each month.  I have enjoyed taking part in many of the projects.

I just bought the digital stamp, Bird Dreams from A Day for Daisies.  I love this stamp!  There is just something so special about it.  I added a little extra design on her dress and boots.  It was a tip that I learned in Online Card Classes.  I just completed the class,  Copic Markers for Card Makers.  It is a fantastic class.  I highly recommend it.  I have taken several classes from them and they are fantastic!   The clouds are also a technique that I learned in this class.
