January Christmas Card Stash


This is my favorite Santa image.  It's by Sherri Baldy.  I colored him with Copics.


 This stamp is by PSX.  This image was also colored with Copics.


 










These cards were cut with the Silhouette.
The digital papers are from Cartabella.




My goal this year is to make one card a week to avoid the Christmas rush. 
 Also, to make somewhat flatter cards that are easier to mail.

The Music Practice


This is my first post for Inspiration Destination Challenge Blog.  Our sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter.  I used the matching paper and pre-colored digi set titled "The Music Practice,"  available here.  I fussy cut the image and added it to a doily cut on the Silhouette.

My Favorite Five of 2014

                                     

I have been doing this for the past few years.  It's interesting to look back.  I had forgotten about quite a few of the cards.   What a surprise, they're all animals!

Christmas Carousel Horse


I must apologize that I haven't been visiting blogs lately.  I have been in a lot of pain with arthritis since the weather has gotten colder.  I wasn't allowed to take anything for pain for a while because of my kidneys.  They are apparently normal again and the doctor gave the okay to take an anti-inflammatory.  Thanks goodness.

Anyways, this past Christmas I sent quite a few purchased cards which I prefer not to do.  This year I'm going to try to finish one per week so I'll have plenty when I need them.

This image I found on Deviant Art, it's by Heather Luciana.  She gives permission to use her lineart as long as she is given credit.  Here is a link to the image:  http://www.deviantart.com/art/Carousel-Lineart-124395897

I colored it with Copic markers.
