MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hi, There!

I am using an image from East Wind for my last post of the evening - which is really three in one night for me - a record for sure!  So scroll down if you wish to see the two previous posts.

But as my previous post has stated I am taking a break and will be back in the New Year.  So I wish all a wonderful holiday season and many wonderful blessings for a healthy and happy new year!!!  Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

BIRDIE BOOTIES

Hi, There!

I love these House Mouse images.  They are all so sweet and always having fun if not a little mischief at that same time.  This mouse is called Monica and she has made some booties for her birdie friend.  Sweet.  Hoping some one does something nice for you!  Hugs and blessings ~ CaroleAnn

Card Recipe:
Used Copic Markers to color the image, background paper, the metal corners, and ribbon all from my stash.  Stardust on the birdie's hat and on the ground.

COME LET US ADORE HIM

Hi, There!

Yeah!!  It's Friday and the weekend is here!!!  Always a good feeling.

Just had to do one more card using the Penny Black sentiment die-cut and the La-La-Land Crafts border die cut image.  Background paper from Winter Wishes/First Edition and coated the sides with Fragments embossing powder in different colors.  Rhinestones from my stash.

Besides my card, I started some baking so it was a productive day.  It has been snowing here and it does look pretty and like a white Christmas!

Some packages were delivered here today and with them, I ran up the stairs to hide them in my closet!!  That's not totally true, as I can't run up any stairs!!!  But I do hide the gifts in my closet until I get a chance to wrap;) Luckily, my grandkids do not read my blog:)

Hope you are doing well and getting whatever you need to get done for the upcoming holidays.  Big hugs and blessings ~ CaroleAnn

CHRISTMAS WISHES

Hi, There!

Christmas will be here so soon and I just got back from a little shopping.  I don't go crazy anymore and we do Secret Santa for the adults here so that makes everyone's life so easy peasy;)

Not sure how many more cards I will get done with my baking needs calling me to attention - so my access time will be limited in the craft department;)

So just in case, A Merry Christmas,  A Happy Hanukkah, A Happy Kwanzaa, and just Happy Holidays to all with many blessings for the New Year with hugs!!!  CaroleAnn

Card Recipe:

Background done with Distress Oxide Inks and masked for the moon.  Versafine Ink (black) used with clear embossing powder for Santa and sled and for the trees.  Sentiment just stamped in Versafine Ink.  Stamp set from Decora.

HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS

Hi, There!

Here is the second Stamping Bella/Polar Bear and Mousie card in the traditional colors.  They have a rather large present to unwrap - then again perhaps it is one of those gifts with a box inside a box, inside a box;)  Until next post, have a good night, hugs and blessings ~ CaroleAnn

Card Recipe:
Image from Stamping Bella and colored with Copic Markers
Star dust glitter and Wink of Stella  Papers & holly label from Bo Bunny/Father Christmas Collection
Christmas Magic and holly tags from Graphic 45/Nutcracker Sweet Tags II
Sentiment sticker from Tim Holtz Christmas  Nuvo Black drops for Polar Bear's eyes
I used a red cord to make a present for the critters.  Stickers and ribbon from stash

MERRY AND BRIGHT

Hi, There!

Just had to use this stamp before time ran out for making my cards.  My sister loves mice so this was an easy peasy card to make for her.  Non-traditional Christmas colors - BUT - I did color one more in the red and green just have to design the card around it - that always takes me the longest to complete.  We have lots of snow here so far - hubby is cooking chili - great for a cold winter night!!!

Until next post, stay warm, safe if you are driving in the white stuff, hugs and blessings ~ CaroleAnn

Card Recipe:

Stamping Bella image/Polar Bear & Mousie and colored with Copic Markers.

Papers are from my fave UK Cardcrafting Magazine - they always have a freebie attached to the magazine and this time it was a stamp set, embossing folder (which I used at the bottom of my card), a set of foil cardstock in beautiful colors, and another attachment of KaiserCraft Christmas Wishes paper set!!!!  Just beautiful!!!!  

So the label is from the KaiserCraft set which is mounted with 3D foam to a die cut tag from Hero Arts.   I applied Stardust glitter to Mousie's hat, Wink of Stella on their hats and scarves.  

Diecuts from Hero Arts - tag, Snowflake from Sweet Dixie, Rhinestones and ribbon from my stash.  Snowflakes were colored with Distress Inks.
