Scooter Santa: MLCC#51

 Hello Crafty Friends!  Christmas in July is SO true these days.  The boys are I went to the mall and the giftshop already had Christmas cards and decoration out.  We haven't made it through summer yet.

This post is for Merry Little Christmas! Challenge Blog: Anything Christmas goes.  Time to get those Christmas cards and gifts started.

Here is a fun image from Power Poppy of a Santa on a scooter.  Seems a little slow to getting presents out on time, but I'm sure there is magic in that scooter.  The image was colored with my prismacolor pencils.  

Here's the inside.

Little close up of the fun image.

Some summer loving card here.  Every year my chiropractor goes to the beach with his family for his birthday, this image was perfect.  The image was colored with my prismacolor pencils, with a little background added.  A little relaxing is what we all need.

Bubble Unique Bunny: LTCCB #75

 Hello Crafty Friends!  Welcome summer :o)

This post is for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog, Anything crafty goes.

My 3rd son graduated from Junior College and two weeks later graduated from High School as Salutatorian.  He had an amazing advisor to guide him through junior college for his last two years of what was suppose to be high school. When he finally made his decision where to finish his college degree, his advisor and her husband took us on a private campus tour.  

We decided she needed some gifts to relax this summer and a big thank you. Along with this canvas bag full of facial goodies, we also got her a plant (that she promised not to kill) and some chocolate.  I stamped on the bag and colored it with color pencils.

I found some perfect socks for my brother and wanted something unique to put them inside. Digging through my stash, I found a couple burlap envelopes ... purchased years ago.  Took some Tim Holtz's embellishments, inks and other elements to create a manly gift envelope.

Finishing touch on the backside.


Such a perfect fit.
