Let's Craft and Create: #132 Christmas

Hello crafty friends!  It's time for the mid-inspiration for Let's Craft and Create.  Tis the season, so Christmas projects we want to see.  Sadly, this will be my last post for this wonderful team.  I'm stepping down for some new adventures, but I'm seeing as, letting someone new inspire you.

It's hard to crank out a bunch of Christmas cards during the season.  I try to have half done before the holiday seasons begin, but that didn't work out this year.  This card was created using Alicia Bel's image Santa Claus Sleepyhead.  The image is colored with my Prismcolor pencils.  I try to make the design like a wrapped present.

Here's the inside.

Let's Craft & Create: Things with Wings

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here with today's mid-reminder post for Let's Craft and Create.  This month we would like to see projects with " Things with Wings".

I used this cute image from Alicia Bel called I'll Miss You.  The image is colored with my Prismacolor pencils and I went with some bold and bright colors.  I love this new cut away die-cut from Tim Holtz, it allowed some of that turquoise to be seen from underneath.

Here's the inside.
