I'm using sponsor image Cool Chicks stamp set from DRS Designs.  I love some sassy birds.  Kept it very clean and simple.

Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog #116: Season's Greetings

Hello crafty friends!  Another day catching up on some posts.

This image is from our wonderful sponsor DRS Designs, called Cardinal on Branch.  My grandmother was a STL cardinal fan and collected everything with cardinals on them.  I think of her every time I see one.   The image was colored with my Prismacolor pencils. 

Here's the inside of the card.

Mix It Up Challenge Blog #18: Monochrome

Hello Crafty friends!  I don't know how I forgot to post this one back in October.  I love making monochromatic projects.  This was for MIUCB.

I used the classy image from Julia Spiri called The Butterfly Hat.   The image was colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  I wanted an antique vintage feel for this card.  I went for the brownish/grey tones.

 Here's the inside.
