PEACE - SPIRALS from Crafts and Me

Hi, There!

I hope those of you that do celebrate Thanksgiving - had a wonderful day.  We did here with all our family together (almost all together - we have one living out in Minnesota and one living down in Florida)  Someday we may all be together for a Thanksgiving or Christmas celebration.

Well enough of that - here is another Christmas card I managed to get done.  I am very slow starting this year!  But I am having fun and that is the most important part of creating cards.

I love these images by Jeremiah-Ketner - this one is called Spirals.  I am thinking I would try her again but in a different monochromatic color!  Back to the drawing board;)
Stay well, until next time, Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

CALI GIRL - HOLIDAY STYLE

Hi, There!

My first Christmas card is done!!!!!  Do ya think I will have to work very fast and make some really simple cards going forward?  Oh, well, I had so much fun coloring and that is what it is all about.

I did this image quite a long time ago in hot pink and turq so I thought why not color her up for the Christmas holidays!  And here she is!  You know me, I love to color hair and color it in different colors!!!  F  U  N!!!  Thanks for stopping by and do something just for fun for You!!  Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

It's Your Birthday!!!

Hi, There!

I made a card for a special person that will celebrate her birthday today.  I already sent her this card so no worries that she will see it before she receives it!  This was another fun card to make and I used a panel of watercolor paper and distress inks.  I used two stencils from Tom Holtz layering collection on top of the distress inks.  Sentiment is a freebie that came with my CardMaking Magazine from the UK.  Some sequins here and there.  Graphic 45 background paper and ribbon from my stash.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by - Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU

Hi, There!

This is one of many of my fave images from Crafts and Me.  This one is by Artist Hannah Lynn called Melissa.  I just love how the wolf is looking at her - so adoringly.  This is how my cat looks at me and it always makes me feel so special.

Okay, back to the card.  They are having a Design Team call over at Crafts and Me for their Challenge and Inspirational Blog.  So I am entering this card for that challenge and also entering at their new Facebook Challenge - Anything Goes!  I am so happy to find them on Facebook!!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have someone that looks at you so adoringly;)    Till next time, Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

Kept the card real simple - all about the image.  Used some distress ink/Faded Jeans around the craft paper as backing to the DP and the image.  Distressed one of the background papers with my distress tool and shaded with Faded Jeans distress ink.   Popped the image up with foam dots.
