Red and Green for Color Hues

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's time for another challenge at Color Hues.

This month I picked our colors.  I chose....

I don't know about you, but I'm trying to get my Christmas cards made and

these are my favorite Christmas colors.

I used an old favorite embossing folder and die set to cut and emboss these 

berries and colored with Ohuhu alcohol markers.

Now let's go and see what my talented friends and our

fantastic Guest Designer Vikki H. have done to inspire you.

Your card and or project can use ANY HUE of the TWO Colors selected for you, 

and of course, neutrals are welcome.  

Our Neutrals are: white, black, grey, kraft, brown, cream, and metallics. 

Remember that green is not a neutral. 

I hope you'll create a card using RED & Green and add it to the gallery at

Color Hues.

Challenge ends at 9:00 AM on November 14th.

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall

 winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.

Most importantly, just have fun!

And while it was out, I did another too.

I wish you could see the dimension of the berries.

Turning the Page November 2026

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Time to turn the page on our calendars to a new month.

 

I make calendars each year for my desk and my family.

By the way, the calendars 4 ½ x 7 inches and and can be displayed on an easel

or hung on a push pin or magnetic hook.  We all have a different way to display them.

Kokeshi Dolls for Fun

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I had so much fun playing with Nancy's Kokeshi dolls when she came to visit,

that I had to pick them up when they went on sale.

I'll warn you.  This is a long post!

With an embossed kimono and embossed vellum in the background.

More embossed vellum.  The layout was perfect to cover a boo boo.

The gold band was in my metallic gold cardstock waiting for a special place.

Some more of the embossed vellum.  I think this is about the last of it...

except for a few little strips that I couldn't bear to throw away.

Our swap theme at Craft Group this month was Asian.  I'm happy to report

that they were a hit.

I hope you have a fun Friday and a fun weekend getting crafty!

Enjoy!

Winged Greetings

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I love this sweet layered chickadee but I needed him to face in a different direction.

So I turned him over and watercolored the back side with Zigs.

The branch was colored with Ohuhu markers. The curve of the branch fits

perfectly in the open center of this embossing.

I think this is one of my favorite Christmas cards this year.

Challenges:

Double D - Wings
