Merry Christmas my friend !


Happy Friday everyone ! Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to stop by and peak at my card. I made this for someone very special that works with me don't want to say her name in case she is peeking in here. I was planning on entering this card into 3 challenges however life got in the way and two of them have ended. I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers last week. At Just Magnolia they wanted anything Christmassy ! The challenge I will enter is Magnolia Down Under where they want Bedazzled. I have colored my image with copics. DP is Imaginisce "Polar Expressions". On the present and her stockings I have added some diamond stickles. Her little top knot on her hat and her gloves are done with "Polar white" flower soft. I cut the little border piece with my wishblade, distressed it with Antique Walnut distress ink, ran the ribbon through it which I had in my stash and added a little charm that my sweet friend Sharron gave when I was visiting her a couple of months ago.
Have a very Merry Christmas Season everyone I hope you have lots of treasured time with family and friends. There is nothing more special than the memories we make they are the most precious gift we can give !
Hugs,

Lily the Snowflake Fairy and Friday Sketchers 81


Hi and happy Monday to you all ! I hope you had a nice weekend, I did went to the movies with my grand-daughter and we saw "New Moon". I also went and had a nice massage and crafted with a friend so life is good in my neck of the woods ! We are finally getting some much needed rain, so I apologize for the picture being a little dark. Today I want to show you this cute little stamp from Pink Cat Studio, you can get it from Stacy at the Scrapbooking Cottage this is "Lily the Snowflake Fairy" and she is just to cute for words. I have used the sketch from Beatrix over at Friday Sketchers. I used Brazil card stock for my base and then Basic Gray Eskimo kisses. She is colored with copics.RV11, RV13, RV14, E33, E37, E51, R0000, R20 B0000, B000, B00, B12. Her little jacket fur is done with fun flock. I cute the snowflakes with the wishblade and raised them for depth, they have dipped in crystal snow by "Stampendous". Sentiment stamp is a little stamp I had in my stash from Studio G clear stamps. Thanks for dropping by and have a great day !
Hugs,

Accessories make the card !


Happy Sunday to you all and thanks for coming by ! It seems as if I have not done anything lately with crafting....between the looming threat of a strike at work and just being really busy for the holidays I have just been drained to say the least. I am very glad that we did settle and there will be no strike Lord willing and the vote goes as it should.

The DT at Manolia-Licious highlites asked us to make a card with just accessory stamps. Kerry from
Three Clovers designs gave this cute sketch for the month at Mangnolia-Licious also ! Thanks ladies for stretching my imagination to make a card with out Tilda :(

This little card was more of a challenge than I expected...um just use the accessory stamps of which I only have two !!! This one which is a stamp of 3 trees that I won from Diana at Magnolia-Licious...thanks so much. I have colored them with my copics, and added some dimensional fabric paint for the snow. The little sign is computer generated from a graphic set called "Winter Pals" by Jordan Bryan. I then added some "Polar White" flower soft on the bottom and around the sign.

The DP is Basic Gray the Eskimo Kisses collection which I just love.

Well I am off to church and then to work hope you all have a great day and a Happy Thanksgiving !

Hugs
