Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog #54: Garden Stocking

 Hello and Happy New Year!!!  May you have a beautiful and blessed 2024 !!

This post is for Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog, Anything Christmas is welcomed.

    It's no secret that I love Power Poppy images for their details. I fell in love with this Garden Stocking, that I colored with my prismacolor pencils.  This old fashion background paper was perfect.  I know many don't think brown is a Christmas color, but I really love the way this turned out.

Here's the inside.

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.

Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #19: 85th Birthday

Hello crafty friends!  I have 3 posts for today, so make sure you check them all out, because there are 3 new challenges happening.  This post is for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog, where it's "Anything Goes" every month.

I was ask to create a birthday card for a friend's mother.  She picked out the colors and I just colored the image up with my Prismacolor pencils.  I was a little unsure when she picked out coral and teal (a bad 80's wedding combo was in my head), but when done right, they are beautiful together.  This image is from Power Poppy.

Here's the inside, which was her sentiment she wanted.
