Joyful Deer

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

I hope you are enjoying preparations for holidays if you celebrate them,

and are taking time to take a deep breath and enjoy!

This sweet deer looks like that's just what she's doing.

I had some kits left from my last class and this sweet deer was a perfect fit.

My Copic coloring is looking a little rough.  Some of my markers are

drying out and the nibs are getting rough.

Plaid Stars

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

Christmas is right around the corner.

(April Fool)

But honestly, it feels like the weeks and months are flying by!

My friend Chrissie (Simply One of a Kind) did some lovely cards last Fall

using stitched stars.  I was so impressed that I found some stitch star dies and added

them to my stash.  They've finally found their way out of the NBUS box.

I love how they paired up with this plaid paper!

Challenges:

Jingle Belles - Plaid Christmas

NBUS  - Never Before Used Schtuff (Star dies)

Joyeux Noel for CAS Christmas

Hi.  I hope you are enjoying the weekend.

It's time for a new challenge at
CAS Christmas
where we're celebrating our 1st Birthday!

We hope you'll come and help us celebrate.

My dear friend Susan is hosting the challenge this month.

I pulled out this NBUS deer, stamped him with some
black Memento ink and colored him with Copic Markers.

I've stamped the sentiment from the same set and used
copper powder to heat emboss.

I've cut the star from both copper foil and silver glimmer paper.
He looks like he's enjoying the starlight.

I did another card while I had him out.
It's not as CAS but I like the snowy scene.

Our Design Team and our super talented Guest Designer, Chrissie,
have lots of inspiration to share with you.

I hope you'll come help us celebrate at
CAS Christmas.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
