Another Whipper Snapper Christmas Card

Just a quick post: Another Christmas card with a Whipper Snapper Stamp I bought this weekend (like I needed new Christmas stamps.... LOL)

I just can't resist snowmen!

The image was colored with Tria/Copics markers. The CS and PP is DCWV (a big stack I had in my stash). The image was cut with the new Label nestabilities, the red CS was embossed with a Cuttlebug die. The ribbon is from Michaels and the brad (must check). Oh and the saying is a Bella stamp.

Here is the card:

Beate's sketch challenge WSC66 - Snowmen

I bought a bunch of Whipper snapper stamps this weekend. I colored them with my Tria/Copic makers. Put this card together with Beate's weekend sketch.

Here is the sketch:



Here is my card:

I turned the image over to accommodate my 3 snowmen. The shapes were cut with Nestabilities. My biggest rectangle frame was too small for the image, so I used a trick I saw on Sharon Harnist's blog: before cutting, I put a piece of rubber on the snowmen's arms that were sticking out, so that they didn't get cut. Then I just trimmed around them.

The ribbon is, I think, American Craft. The bling is from Michaels.

Another Penny Black Christmas card

I have a new computer yeah! Now I can upload all my new cards.

Here is a second one just like the last one I uploaded.  It is another one of  the images I exchanged with my friends. I just love those little Penny Black. I have some old ones, but my friend Claudia has a beautiful collection. This particular stamp has now been retired. It is not available anymore! Just love this image. I colored it with my Tria/Copic markers.  The paper was a gift from my friend (last year's Christmas collection).  The greeting (Tis the season...) is from Hero Arts.  I cut the circle and the scallop with Marvy Mega punches.  The stamped image was cut with a square Nestabilities.  The red and blue cardstock are SU real red, soft sky and Blue Bayou (retired).

Thanks for visiting my blog (and for all your nice comments).  I tried to answer some of you but don't know how to get your email address....

Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge WSC65

Here is my card for Beate's weekend challenge.  Jim wants his computer back, so I'll come back with the details sometimes tomorrow.

Oh, by the way, I had a fun session with my friends on Friday night - we exchanged stamps, this is one the images I got.  Couldn't wait to color it once I got home.  It is colored with Copic/Alcohol markers.

Thanks for looking!

(By the way, you can always click on the image to make it bigger!)

(OK, OK Jim I'm done.... LOL)

Front view of Birthday card

Jim let me use his computer today, so I redownloaded the photos - I don't have Adobe or my watermarks, just it's just plain photos, but here is the front of the card:

The image is from Paperbag Studio.  I colored it with Prismacolors and used a little Shimmerz on the little paper the litlle girl is holding.  The leaves are Hero Arts colored with Prismacolors also.  The green CS is the new Bazzill polka dots and it is cut on the left with a border punch from Martha Stewart.  The ribbon is from my stash.  The greeting (birthday wishes) is from Stamping Up.  The orange and brown CS are Stamping'Up also.

Thanks for looking!  Merci de visiter mon blog!

Happy Birthday

A birthday card for my friend Claudia. This is a close-up of the stamped image (PaperBag Studio).
Unfortunately, my Mac crashed and the rest of the images are on it. I am entering this from the little mini c0mputer I got from the bank. It is nice and tiny for travelling, but I find the keyboard difficult to use.

Hopefully, I will be able to get my Mac fixed and retrieve the data and the rest of the images from it. I am pretty lost without my computer.

For this image, I wanted to show the famous Shimmerz that I used to color in the papers the little girl is holding. The little girl was colored with prismacolor (lots of pigments, that why it looks so shiny....).
