Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog #37: Holly Christmas

 Hello crafty friends :o)   I'm here with my post for Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog, where every month it's Christmas.

If you have been following me for awhile, then it's no shocker that I love Power Poppy images. This Hollyberries images is simple, but beautiful by itself.  The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils.  Kept the design simple with the plaid background paper.

Here's the inside, with a little sentiment.

Merry Little Christmas! Challenge Blog #32: Bunny Stockings

 Hello crafty friends :o)  This is my post for Merry Little Christmas! Challenge Blog, where it's Christmas all year long.

Who doesn't love cute little bunnies?  This image Christmas Bunny Stockings from Whimsy Stamps, comes in digital or clear rubber.  I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils.  The sentiment is from STAMPlorations (looks like that stamp set is retired).  It can't be a Christmas card without snowflakes.

Here's the inside.

Mix It Up Challenge Blog #34: Luv you a Latte

Hello crafty friends!  Here's my post for MIUCB, where every month we like to challenge you to try a new technique.  Get out of your comfort zone.  This month at MIUCB, we like to see projects with stenciling.

This big cup of latte stencil is part of STAMPlorations' ARTplorations line.  The stencil Coffe Cup is 3.75 x 5.25, so it's quite big.  I used 3 different colored distressed inks for the image.  A happy mistake: I accidentally went too far on the edge and created a small line off to the side of the stencil, so I decided for finish distressing the sides ... strips on the side.  The cute sentiment is from CC Designs.

Here's the inside.
