Bronte and Bella

I finally found a few minutes to make a card today. I still have my daughter, SIL and four grandchildren here at my house. This is a great, fun time and we manage to stay quite busy. I got up early while the house was still quite and colored my image. Then, during nap time I was able to complete my card. It is after 10 p.m. and I once again have some quiet time to upload this card and update my blog.

This is another adorable Mo Manning digi, "Bronte and Bella on the Tobaggan". Sorry I do not have a list of what I used this time, I'm just lucky to get this posted all in one piece, LOL! Thanks for visiting!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I feel so fortunate that I can still say "Merry Christmas"! It always sounds "off" to me when someone wishes me "Happy Holidays". I have been working my poor little fingers to the bone creating a lot of "thingies" for some upcoming design team calls. I will wait and show you my latest Christmas images after the DT calls are over. I do have a birthday card to share. My precious grandson Caleb turns eight on December 27th. I still like to tell him how I bought his Hallmark ornament that year just knowing it would be his first Christmas, well he sure played a joke on all of us! Here is his card:

This is "Skater Ian" from The Greeting Farm. I have used Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird design paper. I used my Copics to color but it was just too hectic today to write down the colors. I will be adding the sentiment, "Great Skates" "Caleb's Eight!".

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas Eve and a fabulous Christmas day tomorrow. Thanks for visiting!

Shirleys2Girls Challenge #36 and Design Team Call

Cheers to You! This is the name of the image I used to create my entry for Shirleys2Girls latest challenge, "Happy Holidays" which ends 12 midnight PST. We followed a sketch and the "twist" was to use glitter or bling on your card. Well, I sure got into the bling mode! I'm going to also submit this card to S2G for the design team call which is open until December 20th. Please check out my entry below:

I used "Jolly By Golly" design paper from Cosmo Cricket and SU card stock. My "bling" was completed by a wired gold bow and teeny Christmas tree ornaments. I used a "Snowmarker" to add the poofy look to the fur around the Santa hat and pom pom's on the slippers. My coloring was with the following Copic markers:

The unmarked colors are: BG23, BG34, G07, C3, R59, R38 and R17. I used a gold Spica pen to color the jewelry.
