The tree is up and decorated, now I just need to get the rest of the house in order - seems a shame to only have these decorations up for a month, don't you think?
I have another Christmas card for you today and I mixed a couple There She Goes sets together for this one.
I started by cutting out the Holly Jolly Die, which is included with the Holly Jolly set, and then stamped the snowflake on the die cut in Memento Summer Sky. The inner circle is from No Peeking and I stamped it in Memento Rich cocoa and stamped the Holly Jolly snowman in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored him with Copics. The sentiment is from Warmest Wishes - which just made me laugh since that's the sentiment. I don't know why it made me laugh, maybe because it's late?? I added lots of sewing and a wooden button from Maya Road with some baker's twine. I also added some Diamond Stickles to the snowflake, but you can't really see it very well. I need SPARKLE mode on my camera!
The Sweet Sunday Stampers have amazing sketch samples to show you today, so stop on by to see:
Thanks so much for stopping by!Karen

Hi Karen!
ReplyDeleteI just fund your blog and fell in love with the way it looks. Love your work as well. I'm looking into redoing my blog and would love to have something similar to yours. Where did you buy the digital designs? Did you do it yourself? I love owls too, so I'm just smitten :)
