Warm and Cozy

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

This guy might be too warm and cozy.  It looks to me like he's melting.
At least he looks happy about it.


I've had this image for so long that I'm not sure where it came from.
I suspect it was a stamp that Nance brought for me to try out.

Anyway, it had been waiting for ink and it was finally time to get to it.

I didn't write down the Copic colors I used.  I try to remember to do that, but 
sometimes I slip up.


Challenges:
Double D - Warm and Cozy





Card Recipe
Stamps:  Mr. Frosty (Woodware)
Ink:   Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper:   Neenah Solar White, Black
Other:  Flurry of Snowflakes EF (Spl), Copics, Holiday Sentiments II Glimmer Plate (Spl), White Foil

Merry & Bright

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

Recently I saw this tree on Susan's card and though I'm on a spending freeze,
it came to reside in my Christmas collection.


I thought it would be perfect for a Black and Red Challenge.

The tree was stamped and embossed. The shine gives the photo a bit of a gray look.
I assure you it is very black and shiny.

Color Hues #98 - Red & Black
NBUS #68 - Never Before Used Schtuff

  



Card Recipe
Stamps:  Christmas Joy (Lavinia), What the Doodle Ornaments (PTI)
Ink:   Versafine Onyx Black, Real Red

Other:  Clear EP, Double Pierced Rectangles Die (AE), Gems (various), Stars (Queen & Co)


Enjoy!

Faith Can Move Mountains

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

The trees are so pretty these days and I love seeing the leaves
gently falling to the ground.

I'm not too keen on raking but fortunately we have someone who
does that for us these days.


I've really enjoyed this embossing folder.  This time I gently sponged color on
the raised portions and added a bird and branch along with a sentiment
that I hope will be encouragement to a friend who has recently had a stroke.
I'm sure that coming back from that is like climbing a mountain.

Challenges:
Can You Handle the Pressure - Use an Embossing Folder (didn't use the option of pumpkins)
I.D.E.A.S. - Use Ink
Just Us Girls #751 - CASEing  (CASEd Lisa with the bird & Bobby with the Fall Leaves)
Triple B - Bird


  
 


Card Recipe
Stamps:  Blessings (PB)
Ink:   Versafine Onyx Black, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive
Paper:   Neenah Natural, Neenah Solar White
Other:  Autumn Serenade EF (SB), Leafy Sprig die (SB), Little Chickadee die (SB), Copics (W0, W2, N5, E93, E0000)


Enjoy!

Turning the Page November 2024

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.

 

I thought I'd set up a regular post on the first day of each month to share them.

 

I hope you enjoy my “Turning the Page” posts.

 

Here's our November page using Cones & Berries by Penny Black

colored with Distress Ink.



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.

 

If you would like a word document with the calendar, email me

and I will be glad to send it to you so you can design your own.

Email link is on the sidebar.



Enjoy!
