Happy Holidays....



I wanted to wish everyone a 
MERRY CHRISTMAS
and 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Have a safe and wonderful time with your families.

My husband's family is coming into town the day after Christmas 
and visiting until New Years.
So I'm going to take a little blogging break that week.

The store will still be open and orders will be going out.
Just no blog posts.

I'll be enjoying family time.
Getting recharged for the new year!
Getting motivated and rounding up my mojo....
Yes even I loose sight of my mojo sometimes.
It's gotten lost some where.
If you see it can you send it my way.

See you soon...

Tilda with Peanut Card Kit...


Digging through the color box I found this cute
image.
Isn't she adorable!

The paper is from the Kaiser Crafts - Marigold Collection.

She was such fun to color I might do a video tutorial for her
tomorrow if I have time.
I was going to do it today, but my Natalie is on her way over.
So no more work for me today.


I left the leaves sticking out to give them dimension
and the heart tag blank so you can stamp your own sentiment on it.
Then added lots of Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen to her hair.


I'll get these all cut out and ready to ship the day after Christmas.

Have a wonderful holiday!

Coloring Difficulties...

This Tilda is giving me all kinds of trouble.
Started out I didn't like how her hair turned out.
Too dark on the bottom.
Stamp a new one and start over...


I'm liking her hair, but not loving it still.
I'm not happy with the color of her sweater at all.
I'm think orange would be better.
One good thing.
 I'm happy with how the skirt and the mouse turned out.

On the take three..
I'm sure I'll get it right this time!
This will be a kit in the store as soon as I love it...
Have a fabulous day!

Pictures on the Wall...

For those of you who have been to my house to shop.
You know that in my work area I have this wonderful set of frames
hanging on my wall.
I got  3 or 4 Christmas's ago.
It's been so long I can't remember.
My husband was so good to hang them up right away.

They have been hanging on the wall the whole time
with my pretend family in the frames (the ones that came with the frames).

Well you are going to be so proud.
I spent yesterday searching through pictures
and picking the perfect ones for each frame.
I had to look through hundreds of photo's.
But I filled each one with a picture of my precious grand daughter's.


I even seen a couple I'm going to print out 
and give to their mommies for Christmas
presents from them.
Now to find the perfect frames.

Accomplished!
So proud...

Tallulah in Her Tutu Card Kit...


Take a look at

Totally not Christmas..
Love the pink and black.
The image is quite large so I didn't have room to stamp the sentiment
that comes with it.
It says:
"Enjoy the little things
for one day you may look back
and realize they were the
BIG 
things
-Robert Brault"
The sentiment takes up quite a bit of room itself.
It would look great stamped inside the card.

The paper is from the Echo Park - Love Story Collection
except for the black & white piece I used for the flowers it's
Imaginisce - Sole Sisters - Shop Till You Drop


It was actually fun coloring this cute elephant image.
Not hard at all.
I may have to whip up a video for this one.
What do you all think?

Have a great day!
Thanks for stopping in.
