A SMALL CHANGE

I am much happier with this card. I think it's better than just okay.All I added was more silver glimmer paper, a framed sentiment and some black leaves. Easy fix. Now, I'm happy to submit it to Colour Q.

Don't forget to check out the other entries at Colour Q.

Give it a try!

Happy New Year everyone!

LAST COLOUR Q OF 2011

Almost a month without blogging made me more determined to get the last Colour Q challenge included.

I'm still not thrilled with this card- it is okay. I may try again. What I do love is the silver glimmer paper- so much better in real life but not too shabby in a photo. Here's my card-

I was pleased with how the black embossing turned out on the glittery paper surface. To be honest, what bothers me most about this card is the 'be merry' stamping. It should be more left- centered in the white space. I got lazy and didn't take the time to use my stamp-a-ma-jig. I do have an idea for fixing this though. Stay tuned!  :)

COLOUR Q BABY!

This beautiful angel figurine inspired the colours for this weeks challenge. Gorgeous!

I wanted a little break from Christmas cards and created the card you see above. The card uses the stocking punch to make baby booties. I love that.

It was wonderful to take some time in the work room and make this card too.

I hope you get some creative time in today.

Maybe even take on the Colour Q challenge- you won't be sorry you did.

Have an amazing day!

THE STAR

Please note that the Monday Muse Technique Tag session has been cancelled. Look for it again in January.

Before I finished this card, I showed it to my husband. I had been struggling with it, had no desire to abandon it and he knew it. He took a look and told me it needed a star. So, I went back to the table, put a rhinestone on the tree top and showed him again. "Not what I meant" he said. "It needs a star that radiates out." Eep! I don't think I have that. However, Come to Bethlehem stamp set has a star. Done!

This from the guy who claims to NOT be creative-seriously.

Thanks for looking!

ALMOST WHITE ON WHITE

Pure white on white would be without any coloured card stock so this is close.

Again, certain times  of day or weather cause blue tinting on my photos, especially white content. I hope you can see it white, not blue.

Plenty of white outside today...it's really here.

Have a wonderful day- I hope you get creative and let some art out!

 It's good for you.

O CHRISTMAS TREE

Here's a look at one of the cards I've prepared for a card camp this weekend.

Quite traditional colours and theme.

More to share soon.

Have a super day!

CHRISTMAS 2010

Here's a card I missed showing you last year. I found it in my blog photo file, then went through ALL the blog Christmas cards to make sure I had missed it. Did you know there are 38 Christmas cards on my blog?

It's true.

So, here's one more. I hope to get some tags done soon, so I can share them with you. 

It's snowing tonight- a little winter-y inspiration.

Have a good night and a wonderful tomorrow.
