Merry Christmas..........

Hello Crafty Friends!!!!

This is my last batch of Christmas cards

for the year!!  I usually only gave

out picture Christmas cards each year but 

started making handmade cards for my 

crafty friends to exchange with for 

Christmas. It has been fun. I just don't

have a lot of Christmas stamps. I did

however use 4 different stamps

plus a sentiment stamp to make my card.

I Love how it turned out!!! 

I love these dogs from the Mama Elephant

set Playful Pups!!! And those trees are really

candy corns from the Lawn Fawn Trick or Treat

stamp set!!! I saw Naomi on the Lawn Fawn blog make

them and I had to try my own! And those gifts are

from the MFT Pure Innocence OverFlowing Joy. The

cute Santa hats are from the Lawn Fawn Holiday

Party Animal.  I had a lot of fun making these.

I made a 3rd dog but thought it was too busy

on the front so he is inside. Unfortunately I didn't 

take a picture of the inside.  But he is a cutie too!!

Happy Birthday...

Hello my Crafty Friends!!!!

I am on a roll here with blog posts

lately!! Be nice if I could keep this up!

So today's card I made for a sister in law's 

birthday that's this month.  I thought these

2 ghosts by 2 Cute Ink would be just 

perfect for an October birthday card. 

The ghosts are 2 different digital images

that I merged together for one scene.

The images are Balloon Ghost and 

Cupcake Ghost. I just love the 

little spider that is on her bow!

The cardstock I used for the base is

Stampin Up's blackberry bliss and I 

layered the main panel with basic black.

I used Wink of Stella glitter pen on 

the balloon, pink frosting, flame, and her bow.

I tried taking pictures at angles

to show you the glitter on it all.

It's really cute and I hope 

she loves it as much as I do!!
