Vintage Christmas

Took advantage of nap time today and made a Christmas card (even turned on Christmas music). It's taking a lot of will power to not turn on the festive tunes all the time! :) I. must. refrain. LOL!

My first thought was that this image was going to take forever to color, but it went quicker than I thought. She is from Sarah Kay. I was inspired by this card. The dp is from Reminisce, ribbon from Ribbon Boutique, twine from Celebrate It!, and glitter swirls from K & Company. Flowers are a variety from my stash.

Digital Tuesday Challenge-Coral and Kraft

Happy Tuesday!

This week at Digital Tuesday Challenge we'd like to see the colors Kraft/Tan and Coral. My coral color isn't popping through very well, but it's on the papers (American Crafts-Neapolitan). They're really light. I followed the sketch from Mojo Monday. The image is from Di's Digi Downloads (Little Lou with Duck).

Christmas Joy

Yahoooooooooo! It's Friday. I may be a SAHM, but I love it just the same because we get to have our dear hubby/daddy with us more.

Not going to share much, just a quick card. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions.

I did cut out the pendant by hand, but I believe Magnolia has a similar die.

Thinking of You

Hiya!!! Trust you all had a fantastic weekend. We went to a steam-show which really "thrilled my heart." :) My hubby has done that all his life and hasn't been able to do as much since the real world hit and life requires a little more responsibility. I enjoyed being with my little family, but I came away literally a "redneck." LOL!

This week at Digital Tuesday Challenge Maya made a sketch for us to follow. I turned mine to the side. Stitchy Stamps is sponsoring us.

 

The sentiment was made digitally using the font Shonar Bangla. The punches are Martha Stewart and most of the flowers came from Micheals Recollections. I believe the paper is basicgrey. Tilda is colored with copics.

Ava

I've seen her images all over cardland, but I had yet to use one. She has some freebie digi's, so thought I'd try them out. Lots of details, so they're not a quick color, but it was sure fun! :) Her hair reminds me of my daughters...falling out of her braid.

The paper is an old pack I've had for awhile from DCWV-Citrus Stack. The twine is from My Mind's Eye and the flowers are a variety from my stash. The gemstones come from Michaels and I printed the sentiment off of the computer.

I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday, but I twisted my image block.

Don't forget to sign up for my blog candy. It goes until Aug 23rd.
