Butterfly & Flower

Just sharing a couple of cards with you today that I made with background paper from a pack by the Paper Studio called Poteeka Souffle that my DD gave me for Christmas. I colored both of the images while I was in Mexico. The butterfly is a stamp by Layers of Color and the sentiment is from Gina K. Designs. The flower is a digi image; unfortunately, I do not have any information as to the creator. I think I'm going to enjoy this new paper pack -- it has lots of pretty colors and glitter too!

Roses' December Challenge

From the cradle to the cross…
God’s Precious Gift;
Christ’s Perfect Love.

Merry Christmas to All!

White Elephant Gift

My DH and I recently attended our Adult Bible Fellowship Christmas Party and one of the highlights of the evening was the opening of the white elephant gifts. Had to share what Larry chose -- a lava lamp! Would you believe that I've always wanted one???? Hate to admit it, but I could stare at the silly thing all day long! My contribution to the gifts was a stack of 45 rpm records -- needless to say, they got a laugh but no one wanted them enough to "steal them away" from the person who opened them!! lol
Hope you'll come back tomorrow when I post my card for the Roses December challenge. See you then,

Top Ten Countdown

Are you playing the top ten countdown of favorite episodes of stampTV? Day 1 started with the Split Negative technique and Day 2 is the Faux Window technique. You can play as much as you want -- one day or all ten days. Your entries must be in by Jan. 2 and 5 winners will be announced on Jan. 3. There are some really neat prizes, including the upcoming stampTV kit. Check it out at StampTV. Here are my entries for days one and two, or maybe I should say days two and one since blogger loaded my pictures that way and I'm too lazy to change it!

JUGS64

This card was made for the color challenge at Just Us Girls to use Light Blue, White, and Green. I love the soft colors; the card base is SU Bashful Blue, and ribbon from Michael's borders the top and bottom. I used the Quickutz Scalloped Circle embossing folder on the white cardstock and then stamped the image from Gina K. Design's Spring Mix StampTV kit. Sentiment is also from the same kit. Some light green pearls for the corners and my card was done!

I have one other card I'd like to show you. My friend Melisa gave me this stamp from The Angel Company and I just had to get it inky. Colored the flower with Bic Markers and cut it out with a Nestability die. The dp is from Gina K. Design's Spring Mix StampTV kit. Graduated sizes of white pearls along the border of the dark brown GKD Pure Luxury cardstock finished it off. Thanks, Melisa, I love the stamp and so does my DD!

Phindy's Friday Challenge

Oopsie!!! I messed up with my entry for Phindy's Friday Challenge. Anne very graciously let me know that I was supposed to have used one of Phindy's digi images rather than a stamp. I was just so excited to see the theme of "All Creatures Great and Small" and didn't read the fine print! So, here I am again with a sweet little bear; this is a portion of one of Phindy's images. My printer ink is the worst about smudging when blending colored pencils. So I had to cut off a badly smudged piece of the image! But what's left is just precious, don't you think?????
