Joyful. Merry. Blessed

We are having an abnormally WARM, VERY WARM Christmas this year. Close to 75F degrees. Next week is another story, back to cold again with frost predicted. I love this image by Penny Black. I can still use it all through winter. Merry Christmas Eve!!!

Hand Painted Watercolored Christmas Tree

2 more days until Christmas .... I tried my hand at hand painting this tree then added a sentiment by Papertrey Ink. I used a snowflake die cut for the star because among my many many stamps, I could not find a single star die cut. LOL  Almost time to put up my holiday stamps until next year.

Let it Snow

I made this card for a challenge at Splitcoast called Generational Stamping. It's where you stamp your image once, twice then three times without re-inking it. I added some Stickles glitter on the mountain of snow I created. I also added some white Nuvo drops on his hat. I made this for my chemo buddy.
