Three Fishing Mice

I'm back to taking classes from Alyce at Kit and Clowder.  This class is June 2019 and the digi stamp is from Di's Digi Stamps named "3 Fishing Mice".  I have to really like an image to feel like I want to color it and I fell in love with these adorable mice.  The classes cover so many different techniques, that like the image or not, it's the techniques that are important that you learn from each class.  This image is colored with Copics and made into a card.

Frolicking Frosty


Frolicking Frosty is skating thru the snow and ice to meet his sweetie. Notice that big grin on his face. I just love this image that is from Heartfelt Creations as is the sentiment and background stamps with matching dies from the Frolicking Frosty Collection.  You can barely see the glittery snow on Frosty, the snowflakes and the snow but it is showing up some.

Reindeer Christmas


Adding to my Christmas card stash with this adorable stamped reindeer and sled from Heartfelt Creations Merry Little Christmas Collection.  It was colored with chalk inks as was the poinsettia.  Lots of glitter was added to give it that wintery look.  Too bad the glitter and shine isn't showing up.

Kissin' Xmas


     Hi Everyone,  Here I am with another Christmas Card for my list.   I thought this adorable image from LOTV was something I just had to color.   Things seem to be rolling along pretty good and I'm back to taking coloring lessons from Alyce at Kit and Clowder.  It's like starting all over when you haven't colored for so long.  I have all my lessons from the past several years and they are so helpful.      I have a ways to go though before I'm back to where I was 3 years ago but I'm enjoying the challenge.

Under The Sea Treasure



The challenge and theme this month at Pattie's Creations Challenge Blog is #173, Beach/Under the Sea.  You don't have to use one of Pattie's images but we love it when you do and you can find them here!

Our challenge starts on the first Friday of the month, August 7, and ends Thursday, September 3, 2020, at 1:00 pm EST.  Hope to see your lovely creations in our gallery. Remember, only 3 entries per person.

I used Copics to color the image, added Stickles, Liquid Pearls, and Liquid Gold for the gems and coins.  Colored the background with Distress Inks and added sand to the bottom of the sea.  The paper is from my stash and I have no idea where it came from. The flowers on the card are made by me and are also from my stash.
Be sure to hop on over to Pattie's Creations to see what amazing creations the design team have to share with you.  Also, be sure and pick up the freebie from Pattie.

Going Golfing

Since I come from a family of avid golfers I thought this would be appropriate for a birthday card for my son-in-law as he will probably spend the day golfing with his boys.
If not that day, then on the weekend.  
I just love this image but I can't remember where I got him.  He is LOTV and thanks to those of you that let me know.  If anyone knows where this little guy came from please let me know so I can give due credit,  He is colored with Copics and the going golfing is cut out on my friends Cricuit.  I forgot how to use my Silhouette so she was kind enough to help me out.
Boy, I'm never taking this long of break again! lol
I used a doily from one of my dies and the sentiment stamp from my stash.

My Christmas Owl

This is the inside of the card.  The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations Snowy Pine collection.  The poinsettias and leaves are from my stash but are stamps and matching dies from the HFC Poinsettia collection.  I've used Prells for the center if the poinsettias.
Had to revert back to old blogger today as I was totally lost in the new version.  Hard to teach an old dog new tricks.......lol  I'm just getting my feet wet with blogging again after so long being gone,
