Christmas Card - The 25th

Hello December!  The holiday season has officially begun and I am busily making Christmas Cards for friends and family and YOU!

Today's card is called "The 25th".

This turned out to be such a pretty card.  I die cut the number and holly leaf from Tim Holtz' movers and shapers dies (glitter cardstock).  The canyon brown cardstock (Kelly Paper) is embossed with music.  Although the background of the patterned paper is white and my card base is ivory, they don't do to badly together. (I think that is because of the distressed edge.)

I like the way the red ribbon plays off the red holly leaf.

Close Up!

Although the holly was not designed to go with the numbers, they fit well together don't you think?

I made a double loop bow for this card.

Thanks for dropping by today!  Come back again for more Christmas Cards!

Christmas Cards - Christmas Night

Hi everyone and welcome to another week of Christmas Card Inspriation!

Today's card was inspired by my childhood experience of winter.  I grew up in upstate New York.  We had lots of snow and I lived not quite in the city (pre-suburbs!).  I used to love to take walks at night after a fresh snowfall.  The snow would be on the ground sparkling white and stars would be glittering against a midnight blue sky.  It was always so quiet. I loved those times.

So, in honor of those peaceful times, I would like to share "Christmas Night."

I made two cards (as you can see below).  I really like the deer looking at my "star".  I thought using silver glitter cardstock in back of the white would give the overall appearance some depth.  I didn't use a white glitter deer because I didn't think the deer would show up well.

Close Up!

I really love the way Tim Holtz designed this deer die.

His tree die isn't bad either!

I hope you enjoyed today's cards.  Please consider joining my following or leaving a message.

Thank you!

Christmas Pear - Home Decor

Hi everyone!  I thought I would share a pear that I decorated for my Christmas table.

I love the shape of pears.  I bought this one in the plastic fruit aisle at Michael's.  I used decoupage and covered it with Tim Holtz' tissue wrap in music.  Then I used Copic markers and sprayed (colored) the pear.  I added glue to the bottom of the pear and added the purple micro beads.

Close Up!

I added a gold leaf, white gold foiled butterflu and three clear gems.

Thanks for stopping by!

Scrapbook Page - Marching Band at Disneyland

My nephew is in a marching band that got invited by Disney to play.  I created a scrapbook page from the pictures that were sent to me.  I don't do many scrapbook pages.  I have been to all the classes and even completed SDU.  I do like to create scrapbook cards which are a lot of fun to make.  If you would like to see more scrapbooking, let me know in your comments.

Hope you like my page!
