MLCCB #67: Merry Whatever

 Hello Crafty Friends :o)

I know many of you are not thinking about Christmas, but as fast as these years are flying... you better get started on your crafts. This post is for Merry Little Christmas where Christmas projects are a must.

Please visit our sister blogs for more inspiration.

Sorry, I can't help myself, but I love these new "Pissy Kitty" stamps from Unity.  The image was stamped and colored with my prismacolor pencils. Nothing too fancy, just let the image speak for itself.

Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog #58: Cozy Mouse in the House?

 Hello crafty freinds :o)  We are approaching the Holiday Season very fast, don't blink or you will miss it ... might not be a bad idea.  This post is for MLCCB, Anything Christmas is wanted.

Another Christmas card ready to send. If a mouse could be this cute, maybe it could stay cozy next to the fireplace in the house.  The image is Festival Mouse from Kit and Clowder, part of the bonus image for the month of September of 2023 coloring class.  Alyce usually has many of the older classes online, so you can still learn how to color and learn new techniques.  

This image was colored with my Prismacolor pencils following the class techniques.

 

Here is the inside.

Some crystals were place to give the card a little bling.
