Paper pretties - Merry Christmas

Monday December 17, 2012

 

It new release and re-release day at Paper Pretties http://paperprettiesblog.blogspot.com/   and the challenge this week is  CREATE A CHRISTMAS CREATION...

I am sure you still have Christmas cards to make or post. So hope you get a chance to play along and post to the Paper Pretties site.  If not maybe make one and your one ahead for next years cards.. Got to love that.

 

I chose to use a re-release image. Rudolph reindeer. I love how it's looking up to the table at the cookies and milk. Check out the background paper I found and cut so that cookie taster would show.. I'm sure this reindeer is an official cookie taster.

Unscripted sketches #189- Merry & Bright

December 15, 2012

 

It's Saturday and a new sketch from Unscripted Sketches this is #189  this week there is a piggyback add on to the sketch, make the FOCAL POINT DISTRESSED. http://unscriptedsketches.com/ 

 

I got this darling image from "Your next stamp" and knew I had to use it for this sketch. I am loving the way it came out (until I got a little black mark on the birds body ;( ...)  I thought I would extend the cord to the ornament to the card base wrapped cording. I used the Tim Holtz distressing tool to ruff up the circle edges and then used Ranger ink to kind of bring color in.

Free Friday Santa Window - Merry Christmas tag

Friday December 14, 2012

It's Friday and you know what that means... Free Friday at Catch the bug http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/  today's freebie is SANTA WINDOW

 

I was not sure on a card using this image and the window but thinking about it and with my fear of tags I thought I would tackle it and do a tag. I am slowly getting comfortable with tags.. I really like how this tag came out. Love the snow in the background really looks nice and sparkly. I don't care for snow if I have to go out in it but seeing it from the window is beautiful.
