 Hello Crafty Friends

My son celebrated his birthday on Dec 24th.  I don't know about you but cards for guys in their 20's are always a challenge.  I decided to keep it simple this year and he actually liked his card.  Of course, I think it helped that one of his presents was so hard cider.

 Hello Crafty Friends!

Are you ready for the holidays?  I still have a couple of cards to make.  Even though I started making my Christmas cards in January, I struggled to get enough made for this year. 

This  card is not my usual 6x6 square size.  I decided I needed to make cards that were easier and cheaper to mail so I made this card 4.25X5.5 which works perfectly with the Peekaboo Window die I used from Whimsy Stamps.

The digi images and sentiment I used all come from the A Winter's Tail Pairables from Digi Doodle Studios.  These birds are simply adorable and I had fun coloring and fussy cutting them.

You still have plenty of time to enter the challenge at Digi Doodle Studios Challenge blog.  The theme is Christmas/Winter

Hello Crafty Friends!

I took a short break from making Christmas cards to make a birthday card for my sister.

I have had a lot of fun the past couple of months as a guest designer for Conie Fong Art and Design.

I paired her up with this pattern paper from Digi Doodle Studios and added a pop of blue for some fun

Hello Crafty Friends!

Happy Thanksgiving to my friends in the U.S.

It may be Thanksgiving but, I am sharing a winter card today.

These adorable snowmen are from Digi Doodle Studios and are called Sparkle, Glitter and Joy.

I don't know about you, but they are certainly cute and bring me joy to see them.

I had fun finding some things in my craft room I haven't used for awhile such as the Snow Tex I added to the image for some texture and dimension

You still have a bit of time to join in the challenge at Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog and the theme is Winter

Sally and Little Squirrel

 Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I am excited to share another project I created as a guest designer for Conie Fong Art. This adorable image is Sally and Little Squirrel. This image brought back lots of fond memories of my childhood. Where I grew up we had black squirrels and also the typical brown squirrels. Sometimes we would see a black squirrel with a brown tail or visa versa.   Both of my grandfathers enjoyed feeding the squirrels and in fact one of my grandfathers had a squirrel trained to take an oreo cookie out of his hand.

Beary Fun Sleigh Ride

 Hello Crafty Friends!

These bears just make me smile!  They are so cute and I had fun making this card.

The image is Beary Fun Sleigh Ride from Digi Doodle Studios.

Have you been working ahead on your holiday cards?  I have been working on them all year but I haven't checked to see if I have enough made for this year.  Due to covid, there will be lots of people I don't see for the holidays so sending cards is extra meaningful this year.  I try to make the cards I mail free of bulky embellishments to save on postage.

Christmas Card

Hello Crafty Friends!

The holidays are fast approaching.  Are you ready?  I'm not.  At times I feel it is ok with sending fewer Christmas cards this year but then I think about the how many friends and family I will not see this year due to the pandemic.  I think I will want to send even more cards.

This is my DT project for Crafty Hazel Nut's Pattern Paper challenge.  The theme is always Anything goes with Pattern Paper.  I used this adorable Edwin with tree stamp from Magnolia stamps for my card.  I kept the card free of bulky embellishments so it will be easier to mail. 

I hope you join us in the challenge and I can't wait to see what you create.

KC Chiefs Football Jersey Card

 Hello Crafty Friends!

It's time for a new challenge at Aud Sentiments.  The theme is Anything Goes + A Sentiment.

My nephew is a big Kansas City Chiefs fan.  A few years ago I started making him a card shaped as a jersey for his birthdays.  So far there has been a Chiefs team member who has a jersey number which matches the age of my nephew.  This year my nephew turned 15 so his card features the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

For the inside of the card, I found a quote by Mahomes that its perfectly for the occassion.

Happy Birthday Clayton!!
