Here Comes Christmas

So today is Dec 9th but you won't see this post until my friend in Omaha, NB receives this one.  I just love it so I think I'll do a few more but just different colors maybe.  The stamp is a Penny Black stamp that I colored with Copics.  GET OUT!!  No!  True!!  The icicles are a Martha Stewart border punch along with some extra embellies.  I also added Twinklets for all the snow. 

Miss Clause Sugar Nellie

I spent more then a few hours making this card for my wonderful sister & her fiancee.  Ok really - it's for her.  LOL!  But I'll write his name on it too.  ha ha ha!!  So by the time I post this it will be a few weeks after I've sent the card.  Now I just have to wait for her to get it.  Wait - it's still sitting here cuz I haven't mailed it yet.  LMBO!!  I just wanted to share it with you cuz it was one of my favorites so far!!  I also used the WOJ sketch for this but didn't enter it cuz ... well I'm not sure.  LOL!!  Cuz I already entered one.  Ya.  hee hee

And the inside......

Ok she just got it today and she LOVED IT!!  She's so great! 

SANTA!!!! Whipper Snapper

I just LOVE this stamp so thanks to Shelly for the image!  I had so much fun coloring him using my Copics (of course) and put glitter on his beard, Flower soft on his fur on his hat & coat, Spica glitter on his belt buckle and the buckles on his shoes then topped the buckles off with Glossy Accents.  I also added Glossy Accents to the presents.  OH!  And I used Twinklets for the snow on the chimney and roof.  I hated to send it off so soon without being able to appropriately oogle it for a few days (eeee hee hee I is sic) but I was happy to be sending it to someone who will equally appreciate all the work I put into it.  Okay off to make more cards!  LOL!

More Christmas Cards

Here is another card I couldn't post until my girlfriend got it and yup she has!!! Ok I have done 1 original card for almost everyone on my list which I understand now is crazy but I bore easily!  35 cards this year, which isn't bad but I really need to make more like 4 of each to make it easier on myself.  I have so many christmas stamps that I hate to use just one!!!

I also wanted to thank Sharon Caudle, Gramma's House of Cards, as her coloring has been such an inspiration to me.  Thanks!!!

The Sugar Bowl Challenge 25

I just LOVE this image and knew I had to use her for The Sugar Bowl Challenge.  They provided a sketch and you had to use your favorite color.  I don't know that I have one but PINK would be quite a way up there anyway.  Thanks to my sister Simone for her snowflake inspiration.
