Holly Jolly Gliss

 Hello Crafty Friends!

The new challenge at Aud Sentiments is Anything Goes + A Sentiment.

We are sponsored by  Digi Doodle Studios and I used Holly, Jolly, Gliss for my card.  They are the cutest trio of snowmen I have seen.  I decided to use a different color combo than my usual for snowmen and I think I like the soft greys.

Digi Doodle Studios Sneak Peek Neeja

 Hello Crafty Friends

This adorable fairy will be in the Digi Doodle Studios shop on Friday.  My first instinct was to color the fairy in pinks and purples.  However, I decided to use the On The Pond digi papers from Digi Doodle Studios and I like how this turned out.

Molly's Basket of Love

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.

This adorable image is Molly's Basket of Love.  Isn't she just the cutest?

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

Hello Crafty Friends!

I recently discovered the images by Mariola Budek.  Oh my goodness all of them are gorgeous!  This image called Peper Pan is super cute and I couldn't wait to make a card with it.

This is my DT card for Crafty Hazel Nut's Pattern Paper challenge.  A new challenge starts at the beginning of each month and the theme is always Anything Goes as long as you use pattern paper.  I can't wait to see what you create!

Baby Fairy Bee

Hello Crafty Friends!

I made this card for a friend who has a bee hive. 

 Her bees make the best honey I have ever tasted!

I have been teaching my daycare kids about bees and how important they are to us.  My friend sent us several pictures of her hive and of her and her family taking care of their hives while wearing their bee suits.  My daycare kids now think she is the coolest person ever.  I agree!

It's kind of fun making a card "just because" for a friend.
