Snowboarding

Wow the last day of 2011, it was quite the year.  We had some crazy storms this year, thankfully we made it through them ok.  Our Daughter got married in the summer and is very happy!
Feel very blessed. 

My card today is for my nephew, pre-teen.  I used Sticker a day image, will be showing that at end of post.
Fiskar cloud punch
Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, used grey whale ink on the torn pieces to define the hills
sky ice blue ink on the kraft cardstock for sky
Made a little sign for the Inkadinkado sentiment stamp

A few days later I needed a card for my Great Nephew who is 16 this year and couldn't think of anything, he is always talking how much he wants snow so I decided to do him a card with the same theme as my nephews.

Same sticker for the image
Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl Embossing folder, put white ink over the swirls
Inkadinkado sentiment, didn't notice until posting the picture that when I put  the ink around the edges I had smeared the sentiment.
Flower soft in Polar white was added for the snow

For those that haven't seen these sticker calendars I thought I would share with you what I mean when I say I get my images from a sticker calendar.

As you can see I have a few more snowboarders I can use at a future date :)

We plan on staying home tonight and just playing games with the kids.
Hope you all have a great evening,
Thanks so much for stopping by,

Seasons Greetings

My Last Christmas card posting of the year.

Papers and die cuts all My Minds Eye, layered onto Kraft cardstock.

The sentiment from Plaid was stamped using Stazon since the die cuts have a slick surface.

Amanda and Zach made it home yesterday and we had our Christmas with them, so good to have them in the house again :)

Hope you all are enjoying your week,
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by,

Cardinal

I decided to try one of the bigger Cardinal stamps and dies I have from Heartfelt creations.  It is colored with pencils and OMS.

McGill pine branches.

Flower soft (snow)

Cuttlebug embossing folder.

My Daughter and Son in law are coming tomorrow and I still have alot to get done, so I am going to make this short.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Santa

Yes I still have some Christmas cards to post.....  This image came from Jennifer she was sweet enough to send me a couple images last year and I had already made all my cards for that year so I used her image this year.  I just love the way she colors him, and if you check back to previous years you can see how she has used him in the past..... hope you get some time to check out her blog.

I colored him with pencils, and added twinkling like stars at you spica pen to his beard. Aleene's Paper Glaze on his glasses and Anitque Linen Distress ink around the image.

My Minds Eye O Christmas tree paper pack

Adam Pescott sentiment stamp and star

Martha Stewart Holly punch w/ Xmas red stickles for the berries.

We received our first snow of the year, I would say close to a 1/2 inch, but it is all melting now and pretty quickly too,  I can hear it dripping out there.  Made my husband happy :)

Thanks so much for taking out the time to stop by,
