Christmas Eve

Are you ready for the celebration of our Lord's birth?  I so enjoy our Christmas eve service, such a great preparation for our hearts!

I have a few more cards to share some for my nieces and nephews and their families and the Joy cards were for my Aunt's and Uncles.

Scrapbook calendar clipart, I mounted the images on cardstock to strengthen them and then popped them up on the card.
Spellbinders -- A2 matting basics A and ribbon banners
Adam Prescott -- sentiment stamp
Stickles added to the tree and wreath

Scrapbook calendar die cut (angel)  background clipart
Adam Prescott -- sentiment stamp

My mind's eye-- O Christmas tree paper
Spelllbinders -- Font one dies
I added the glitter to the letters using the Xyron, it didn't work as well as I had hoped it would, glitter was still every where, I need buy some glittered embossing powder.
Using the paper for my backgrounds made these quick to make, I needed to get them out in the mail.

Thanks so much for stopping by, wishing you peaceful moments to reflect on the greatest gift we were ever blessed to receive!!

More clipart images

Here are some more clipart images for 3 other nephews and their families. I took individual pictures but thought this was a pretty good picture of all three so I am just sticking with this for today, have to get ready for church :)

My daughter and son in law arrived late Friday night, they made it her safely, we have been having fun catching up, but the time seems to be going by so quickly.  We even had nice enough weather yesterday to go for a walk in the woods together.  Precious moments with our kids, even when they are older are so precious and I am so thankful for them.

Hope you all are or will be enjoying time with family.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by in this very busy time,

Stockings

I was running out of time so I decided I needed to use clipart images that were already colored for the rest of my cards.  These are going to my nephews and their families.

Here they are individually, I only took one picture of each so however they turned out is what I got :)

Images from Daily Scrapbook calendar
Lilybee designs -- Jingle paper
Spellbinders -- Noble Rectangles and A2 matting basics A
Paper studio Glittered cardstock
David Tutera -- celebrate sentiments

Last night I finished the last of my shopping, I still have a few items I want to make, but I can work on them while the kids are here.  Now to the wrapping before they get here tomorrow.

Thanks so much for stopping by with this busy time of the year.

Lamp post

I found this stamp at the thrift store on base, and it reminded me of when we were stationed in England so I bought it, these are going to our two friends we met in England that we still keep in touch with.  The little sign had a blank spot and so I actually found a little stamp that fit in there.

Stampablities-- Vintage Lamp post, colored w/markers and we wish you a merry Christmas sentiment stamp
Wild Rose studio -- Annabelle's Christmas paper
Stickles -- Yellow and diamond on lamp post
Wink of Stella -- clear snow
Stamps of Life -- minis 4 circles, sentiment on the lamp post

Here are a couple close up pics of the cards.

  I like how the paper in the second card goes with the brick.

Sunday was such a beautiful warm day in the 60's and the sun had popped out, now we are back to bitter cold, I am thankful for those days that are nice that pop up when you don't expect it.  Getting excited, my daughter will be coming on Friday, alot I would like to get done before she gets here.

Hope you are having a good week, thanks so much for stopping by,
