Merry + Bright

 I CASED this card from Gina Marie Designs and you can see it here if you click on the gnome "details". I got the lights and gnome diecuts from her and had to make one similar. Sentiment by Stampers Anonymous

The Crafter's Cafe Challenge 251 Seasons

At The Crafter's Cafe, our challenge this fortnight is Season - it can be Summer, Fall, Winter or Spring OR a food seasoning - as in salt, pepper or mustard... etc. I have this great image by Eureka Stamps. I colored him with Copic markers. I also made it into a fun fold card and this is so easy to make. You can see the link here.

CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Christmas tree
Make My Monday - Christmas in September

So this card was really fun. I cut out this awesome diecut and watercolored it with my Jane Davenport watercolors and water. I have never done this before and I will definitely be doing this more often. I watched this video here and it's really quite relaxing :).  I've already made a few of these using different backgrounds but kept this one white for this CAS challenge. 

Happy Turkey Day

Another Thanksgiving card done :). These sketches sure are helping me stay on track :).

Cruisin' by to say Happy Birthday

The Greetery is becoming one of my new favorite "to me" stamp companies. They have so many awesome stamps and stencils. I am not big on stencils but when I saw this tree and the road I knew I had to have it with my car!!  The tree stencil is so easy - its 3 stencils and you just stamp each one a different color to get your Fall tree. I love it! On the pumpkins, I wanted them glossy so I used some Nuvo Ripened Pumpkin drops. They are perfect for that! I am sending this purple card to my sister for her birthday next week. She loves everything and anything purple!

As You Like It - Favorite Stencil  (I love this tree stencil because it comes with 3 separate stencils to make each one a different color so it makes your tree look like it has Fall leaves)
