<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here is my mailable 2012 Christmas Card. I used a Penny Black Snowman stamp that I have had for quite some time, but is still available for purchase. The sentiment is from Stampendous and I found it some time ago at Hobby Lobby. Since my card needed to be mail friendly plus easy to mass produce, I kept it simple. I started by stamping <span style="font-size: large;">m</span>y design on Kraft cardstock and then added some color with Copic markers and a white colored pencil. The snowflakes and fringe on the scarf have Spi<span style="font-size: large;">c</span>a glitter pen added for some sparkle. It's hard to take a photo of cards with glittery goodness. I added 2 mini black brads for the buttons and a MS snowflake punch. The center of the snowflake is a small punched red circle with Glossy Accents added to make it look like a brad. </span></span></div>

I love everything about this image...the bear, the <span style="font-size: x-large;">C</span>hristmas tree and the sled with presents. I used my 1" circle punch to make the scallop border. The strip of DP is from Debbie <span style="font-size: x-large;">Mumm and the sentiment is a stamp from Studio G.</span></span></span></div>

<b> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have fallen in love with the color combo of red and gray. What an adorable snowman that Faith has created! Once again, I used the snowflakes embossing folder from The Paper Studio on the red panel. The Gray Polka Dot paper is from Recollections and has become on of my favorite DP's. After coloring my image with Copics, I drug out and dust off my liquid pearls and added a little dimension to the small snowflakes. The snowflake punch is from MS. The sentiment stamp is from Studio G.</span></b></h2>

The DP is quite old and I have had the stitched ribbon for some time. I stamped the sentiment (Holiday Cheer Messages by Hero Arts) in black ink and embossed it. The snowflake is something that was picked up during the holidays past with a red gemstone added to the center. The was a fun and quick digi to color.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's a<span style="font-size: large;"> great <span style="font-size: large;">Autumn</span></span> image from Whimsie Doodles. I don't have many "boy" images and this one is a perfect addition to my collection. It's hard to tell in the photo that the top brown panel is embossed with a leaf embossing folder. The DP is from DCWV. I added a felt stitched ribbon that has been in my stash for a while and a big wooden button. The sentiment is an Amuse stamp that was stamped in brown ink and embossed. There you have it, wet and dry embossing on one card!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I made a birthday card for one of my co-workers who celebrated her birthday this week.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is very little stamping on this card. It's mostly DP and card stock. I absolutely love this DP from SU! It's part of the Good Morning Sunshine collection (retired) and I am about to use it all up. The stamp, "Celebrate You" is from Stampabilities. I used the Swiss Dots and Bloom Dots embossing folders from Provo Craft. The card stock leaf is from K & Co. The finishing touch is the gemstones added to the flower centers. Perfect Birthday card for an October birthday! The colors remind me of Autumn.</span></span></div>

It felt good to be back in my craft room creating and discovering some lost treasures. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here is a card that I created using a freebie digi image from <span style="color: #783f04;"><a href="http://birdiebrown.blogspot.jp/"><span style="color: #783f04;">Birdie Brown</span></a></span>. I couldn't resist this adorable bear with a basket of apples. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I used a lot of lost treasures on my card. The corrugated cardboard piece has been in my pile of scraps forever waiting to be used. The cardstock leaf is from K & Co. The leaf embossed green paper is from Bazzill Basics and the brown polka dot DP is quite old. It pays to clean out the craft room every now and then! The digi is new to me and the sentiment stamp is from Studio G.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How adorable is this martini drinking chicks image? I designed my own DP by typing lots of different drinks on the computer and printing them on a piece of Kraft card stock. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the "Bouquet Chick" image without the chick. The image was printed twice so that I could pop up the large flowers. I think, I am stuck on Kraft card stock and the clean & simple look right now. OOPS! I almost forgot to tell you that I paper-pieced the vase with a piece of yellow polka dot DP, so I guess that really means that I printed the image 3 times!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sweet and Simple! Trying to stay with my clean and simple look. It's really hard, as I want to keep adding another "something". I think, the clean and simple look really allows the main image to stand out. I know it's not everyone favorite style, but I am stuck on it right now. This is just one of the adorable images that <a href="http://designed2delight.com/blog/">Faith</a> created for <a href="http://www.whippersnapperdesigns.com/">Whipper Snapper Designs. </a>I had a ton of fun coloring this cute little strawberry girl. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What a great freebie from <a href="http://whimsiedoodles.blogspot.com/" style="color: #990000;">Whimsie Doodles</a>! I found it a little late to use for a 4th of July card, but I think it is also perfect for a July birthday card. My one and only daughter, Jennifer turns 35 today. When she was little we always celebrated her birthday at the lake along with sparklers. This image reminds me of her when she was little. I kept it simple to showcase the image.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's an All American birthday card! I needed a July birthday and and being so close to the 4th of July, I went with a red, white and blue theme. I made my own pinwheel out of a square piece of DP. It's really easy to do, too! It started out as a tag and I decided to turn it into a birthday card.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's the 20th of June already and we are ready with a new set of digi's from <a href="http://designed2delight.com/blog/">Designed2Delight</a>. Some fun summery images! First of all I want to let you know that our Design Team has expanded and we have added some really fun and inspirational friends to our Designed2Delight Design Team. We are doing things just a little bit different this month. I have the whole list of participants at the bottom of this post. As
well as the link to a contest to win some images and the link for the
sale prices of the new images!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">"<a href="http://designed2delight.com/prestashop/product.php?id_product=302" style="color: orange;">Loving Thoughts Bouquet</a>"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These flowers remind me of Zinnias and I couldn't resist coloring them orange. Just a simple card, using an adorable flower image, "<a href="http://designed2delight.com/prestashop/product.php?id_product=302" style="color: orange;">Loving Thoughts Bouquet</a>". I punched the corner of the DP (Citrus Stack by DCWV) with my SU!, Ticket Punch. The sentiment is a really old stamp that I don't remember who makes it. It came as a set of sentiments and I have since lost the original packaging. I used various circle dies and embossed the center white one with my Swiss Dots embossing folder (Provo Craft). I colored my image, fussy cut it out and attached with some foam dimensionals. I added some mini black brads to the center of each flower. There you have it...Happy Hopping!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I Stamped!!! Not a lot, but I did stamp. I have an upcoming birthday at work and needed a birthday card. It started with the DP, Summer Song Stack from My Mind's Eye and I ran with it from there. My favorite colors, oranges, yellows and greens. Since it's a birthday card, I wanted the sentiment to be the main focus. I really like the finished product on this one.</span></div>
