Let’s Get Cozy

I live in Michigan, and for the most part, in Michigan during the winter… it is cold!  Also, for the most part, I don’t mind the cold (but the grey does get to me by mid-January).

When my family comes in from the cold—our noses and cheeks are PINK!  Just like this little girl:

I bet she is heading right for the hot cocoa as soon as she gets inside!!!

• Stamps: Juniper and Jupiter; Classic Decor Sentiments;
• Paper: My Mind’s Eye and Making Memories;
• Coloring medium: PrismaColor Pencils;

The layout for this card came from SplitCoast Stampers: SC313

I hope you have a blessed and COZY new year!

Thanks for stopping by my blog to peek!

Simply Noël

Are you ready for Christmas??  Well, if you are, can you come and give me a hand??

I love this image!  I gave her the hair color and freckles to match my oldest daughter (actually, my daughters is more of a red-orange, but I had trouble with getting the pencil colors to look natural).  She wore braids most of her early childhood (kept the tangles out).

This image is by “Juniper and Jupiter” from Starving Artistamps.  You can see all the entire set: HERE.  She is so sweet and she was a joy to color!  I colored her with Prismacolor pencils and she is accented with Stickles and Diamond Glaze.

The other elements from this card come from Anna Griffin and Bo Bunny.

Though I don’t want to stop Christmas from coming (like the Grinch) but if it could just hold off a day so I can catch up…I would be so grateful!  LOL!

Thanks for stopping by!

Naughty or Nice?

It is time to make Christmas cards and projects again!

I love these new stamps by “Juniper and Jupiter” from Starving Artistamps.  You can see all the brand new images: HERE.

So…do you think this guy has been “naughty” or “nice”?  (I think a mix of both—don’t you!?!)

This little guy is colored with colored pencils and popped up on foam tape.  He has a touch of gold gel pen on his jingle bell and the bells on his collar and while gel pen on his cheeks.

His female counterpart will be posted in the morning!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Thanksgiving

I am sure, like me, you are somewhere in the throes of preparing for Thanksgiving (if you live in the U.S.).  Though I don’t get to have my family in my home, we are just traveling a short distance to my mom’s house.
This card uses a couple of the newest Rubbernecker images: Floral Circle and Bold Ornament.  I colored the “Floral Circle” with colored pencils.  “Bold Ornament” was stamped as a background stamp on the layered label.
I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving!!

Give Thanks

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

1Thessalonians 5:16-18

For this card I used the set “Juniper and Jupiter go to the Beach”.  It has three different lighthouses.  The clouds in the background are made the “Build a Cloud” stamp.  It is pretty cool (even my kids said “wooooow” when they saw me stamp with it)!

The lighthouse image is colored with colored pencils.  The light in the light house has Stickles plus some Diamond Glaze for some sparkly shine.
