It's your Special Day!

I would like to wish you all a very "Happy Thanksgiving"  I hope you all enjoy your families and make some lasting memories.

There is nothing more special than one of your children's birthdays and this week my oldest son will be 38.  He was a Thanksgiving baby so we celebrated this past weekend.  This is the card I made for him.  My image is "Aussie Santa" and I just did a little bit of a twist on him, you can get this jolly ole man at " Make It Crafty."

 

He is colored with copics.  I did my shading with "Walnut Stain" distress ink.  The DP is "Romance Novel" by Prima, then I just ran a piece of kraft card stock through the crimper and distressed it.  I used the little loopy brads to tie the twine with.  I added some glossy accents to his can of cheer.

 

Have a great week!

Hugs,

Christmas is Coming!

Hi there and happy Friday to you all!  Christmas is right around the corner I tell you time flies these days.  Special day for me today as I got to go have a Thanksgiving feast with my youngest grand-daughter Megan at her school, the smile on her face is priceless!  Did some Christmas shopping so I feel pretty accomplished today and I had some coloring time this morning!

I have been busy making Christmas cards and this is a little scene I put together

I love Tilda she won my heart years ago and still makes me smile when I color her!  This little image is an older one it is "Tilda with Star"  I used the 3 trees stamp from Magnolia-licious and just cut the free standing one off.   Images are colored with copics and then I added  "scribbles white mist puff paint" to the tress for the snow effect and dimension, then added the red glass jewels. This is a center panel stair step card cut with the wishblade using the Silhouette Studio Program.  The swirl is a Magnolia DooHickey Die.  The papers are Basic Grey "Nordic Holiday"

A little side view for you!

Engine #25....All Aboard

TGIF...not sure what it is but I sure like it when Friday is here, even if I have to work tomorrow!  Hope everyone had a great week, mine was a good one productive in many areas.  I had the day off yesterday so I thought I would work on some Christmas cards.  I first saw this image awhile back colored by the very talented Jennifer Dove.  She is such an inspiration to me and this is one of the images she will be using at her upcoming card class which I cannot attend so I thought I would just give it a try on my own.

 

This image "Engine 25" is by Stampendous.  I have stamped the image twice and cut out the train scene and raised the outer layer. The edges are distressed with walnut stain.  My image is colored with copics.  The DP is "so this is Christmas" by Carta Bella.  I have a little stickles to the holly berries for a little bling.  This is one of the coolest stamps I have seen in awhile.
