More Christmas Cards

Well, here is another batch of cards - using the same images from Digistamp Boutique, but placed on standard size cards.

I really like the simplicity of these images and I love seeing more background embossing ;-)

Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary & Merry Christmas

We had a family celebration yesterday for my SIL and BIL birthdays and wedding anniversary.


We also had our first opportunity to catch up with the Bride and Groom - they have returned from their honeymoon and they are now back in the 'real world' ;-)

I gave RosaLia some money, but placed it in a gift card holder (that I made of course ;-))

 Here is the card I made for RosaLia

Penny Black image coloured with water pencils and highlighted with Kindy Glitz, layered onto cardstock, embellished with flowers and gems.

I have been reusing old supplies in an endeavour to lessen my stash - I have so much paper it is just not funny any more ;-) 

Here is the card for Greg

I used an image I came across paper squirrel and an SVG from The Creative Pointe - it came together beautifully - I can easily see me using this concept again ;-)  This one has been coloured with Copics, layered using foam dots and mounted onto square black cardstock.


I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
