Hi everyone! Hope your weekend is going good!

This is for the Featured Stampers Challenge! Today we are honoring Birgit (Biggan)! If you have not checked out her GALLERY you are missing some fabulous creations!

This is from one of the fabulous Innovative Stamp Creations sets that I won doing a blog hop! I had forgotten about doing it and one day a package of three beautiful sets arrived! Don't you just love it when that happens!


The lovely image (Joyful Christmas) was stamped twice and colored using copics! Then I cut one out added Glossy Accents and popped it up! The bow was made using the fabulous Bow Easy! TFL
 
The reason I have not posted in over a week is because I was having issues with a swollen finger on my right hand! After getting a shot of cortison all is back to normal!
 
Thanks for stopping by! Hope your day is blessed!

Hi everyone! It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Sunny and about 55 degrees!

DH sold one of his treasures today! His 48 ford coupe! He had one too many antique cars, so something had to go! The buyer drove all the way from Tennessee, so I guess he really wanted it! Come to think of it, I would drive all the way to Tennessee to buy stamps!

Well I can't imagine having one too many stamps or copics, so I guess I can keep it all! tee hee!

This lovely wreath is Flourishes "Christmas Wreath" and the background is also from Flourishes "Christmas Music"!
The wreath was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black and colored using copics! The background was cuttlebugged using c/b musical embossing folder!

This was for three challenges!

l. Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge we were to use neutral colors for the background and add a pop of color in our stamped image! The background was also to be textured!

2. The Color challenge on Splitcoast we were to use neutral colors for the card stock and a pop of color in our stamped images!

3. For the Double Dog Dare challenge we were to have four or more layers and use a ribbon or cord!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a blessed day!

Hi everyone!

I'm never ready for winter but I love these little images! The Flower Soft really makes the snow look so real! It even gives it a little frosted icicle effect!

The images are Craft Lounge *Tweet Winter Wishes*, stamped using Mememto Tuxedo Black! Then colored with copics!
The snowman was done using fun flock! The Flower Soft was used on the rails and the ground!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a marvelous evening!
