Love to Craft! Challenge Blog: #32 Special Birthday

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here today with my post for Love to Craft.  It's always Anything Goes challenge blog.  So inspiring us with your craftiness.

I was asked to created a special birthday card for a friend's wife.  He wanted a special picture and her name on the card (that's why there is a black cardstock to hide that information).  Lots of die cutting for this card.

Inside, just stamped some sentiments.

Since I knew it was going to be hand delivered, I decorated the envelope too.

Dr Digi: Naughty or Nice

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here today with my Dr Digi post.

When this new image was being released near Christmas, we thought it was Santa.  He his not Santa but Bath Time Bernie.  The image is colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  Yes, I colored him to be Santa anyway, images need new twist on them.  I thought a cute and fun sentiment would be perfect.
