A Couple of Christmas Card


Hi and thanks so much for dropping by! I am working furiously to get some Christmas cards done and in the mail by the beginning of December. This SC cutie is an image I just purchased and had to color up right away. Papers are Maja Design.
The other card is a couple of Christmas gnomes taken off the computer. I think they are so adorable. It makes a quick card and the embellishments are held to a minimum.

Another Advent Calendar


Good Morning and thank you for visiting my blog! This calendar was the test case and constructed prior to the large tree I posted recently.

Advent Calendar



A big hello to all my visitors! OMG.....let me tell you, this project was monumental. It took me all month, working on it every day! It is for the family Christmas present. We have a tradition in our family where everyone makes something and it has to be a handmade project. My husband is making a cedar chest for a lucky someone. We each pull a number and when the number is called, we select a gift. However, if someone else picked a gift that we would like, we may "steal" the gift and then that person gets to select another gift. I can show it on my blog because no one visits my blog. As long as I keep it off FB, I'm good...hahahaha

Something Different


Hi everyone! Today, I'd like to share something different I've been working on. It is also Kevin-inspired. The background is a collection of inks with a little water resist and then I splattered some No Bleed White on the surface. I stamped some branches in white, but it was not the right white....I used frost white and it was too translucent and doesn't really show. Then I stamped black leaves on top of the white and added lots of dots with jelly roll pens. I also made a second card using different colors for the background.

Autumn Bank


Hello everyone! This was inspired by a picture I had in my Favorites for a long time.....don't know the original artist, but I think it was Ken Pesho. A lot of stamps were used to create this scene as it is rather large....8 1/2 X 11". Thanks for visiting. Hugs, Christina

The Great Outdoors


Wow....let me tell you, I have an extensive collection of Stampscapes! As a matter of fact, I think I have every stamp, large, small and in-between, that Kevin ever came out with! I've been ignoring them for years ever since I discovered Maggies, but, lately, I'm really enjoying using them again. I started my stamping experience with Stampscapes and I think they make such great masculine cards....something that I just can't accomplish with Maggies....LOL! I just finished this scene and I used lots of stamps for this one. Hope you like it! Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I love your comments. Hugs, Christina

More Scenery Cards


First and foremost, I would like to thank you for stopping by.....it is truly appreciated. As promised, I'd like to share a tropical scene inspired by Kevin. Hope you like it! At the same time, I also made a scene card with a lighthouse. I love to visit lighthouses and hope to do so in the future. I loved visiting Maine in the past where they have some really neat lighthouses.

I'm not entirely happy with the way this one turned out and when hubby saw the other one, he laughed out loud.....said that is NOT the Aurora Borealis! Hahahahahaha I mentioned artistic license and left it at that!!!!!
