Jingle Bells

Don't ' ya just love this image from Mo's Digital Pencil? This is the same as my title today, "Jingle Bells". I used my Copics to color and my design paper is from Papertrey Ink. I used an EK Success punch for my large scallops and my Xyron for the sentiment.
I decorated the inside of my card with the same design paper and used my MS snowflake punch and another smaller one in my punch drawer.
Is it ever too soon to start Christmas? This is my favorite holiday!

With Sympathy

This is a digital image I found (on Split Coast Stampers, I think!). My apologies to the artist for not writing down your name.
Dear friends of mine lost their mother/mother-in-law last week - she was in her nineties and had a very blessed life.
I love this verse of scripture, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." - Psalm 116:15. This is a very beloved verse for a lot of the seniors in our church.
I colored the hydrangea with my copics and used a Spellbinders and a Sizzix die. I followed Suzanne Dean's tutorial for the "Bow-Easy" to tie my bow - "thank you Suzanne!"

Happy Birthday!

This is a late birthday card I completed today and it will go out in the mail Tuesday. Better late than never, right? I just had to use this cutie from Mo Manning, "End of Summer". I just love the instant gratification of using digi's!
I used Basic Grey's lemondade series for my design paper and colored with Copics. I kept the embellies to a minimum this time. I'll be posting some more digi's later!

Hot New Stamps!

I'm sure most everyone has seen these little dar'lins, but just in case you haven't, Motivet debuted these fabulous little squirrels in April 2009. It was love at first sight! My good friend Peggie told me about these - as if I need any help acquiring new stamps, LOL!
This little cutie is "Doraline with birthday cake". I had so much fun coloring her with my Copics and adding all the embellishments. I used DCWV "Blossoms and Butterflies" design paper and Stampin Up cardstock.
I certainly did not discriminate using punches to create the inside of my card! I used EK Success, Martha Stewart and Cuttlebug (die-cut).
I can't wait to ink up my Dexter's and another Doraline - stay tuned!

I love to read your comments!
