Dear Santa!

Good afternoon!  I hope all my Jewish friends had a lovely Hanukkah,,,,,and I hope all my Christian friends are busily preparing for Christmas!

It's coming so fast, and I am SO far behind this year! Thanks, of course, to the flare I had in November that struck me down and out for nearly a month.

I did manage to get some Christmas cards made for my grand children :)  They look forward to them every year, and keep them year to year, so I couldn't disappoint.

Card recipe at the end :)

  

Isn't she darling? I couldn't help but use some stickles to really make her shine :) My six year old DGD will love her.

  

And I think my grandson will love this little guy!!!!

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas (Or Hanukkah) season! May God bless you all,,,,hold your babes and grandbabies a bit closer this season, and be thankful you can.

PTT 58!! At the End of the Rainbow!!!!

Happy Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Tuesdays,,,,,it's the day PTT comes out with their newest challenge,,,,and the day I get to see all the cards my team mates have created!

This week's theme is At the End of the Rainbow!!!! and we wanna see glitter,,,sparkle,,,,,,,,bling,,,,,,,,,gold,,,silver,,,,,,,,,ANYTHING that sparkles!!!!!

And for this week, we have the PERFECT sponsors! Robin's Nest Products supplied us with GORGEOUS paper and blingy dew drops! A Day for Daisies and Spesch Stamps provided us with images to create our gorgeous BLINGYYYYY cards!

And here's mine!!! Isn't that paper gorgeous???? It's SO glittery and sparkly!!!! I just couldn't resist it! I even made the flowers out of it! The dew drops sparkle so pretty on the Cinderella coach and inside the black and pink flower as the center!! And how PERFECT is this darling Cinderella coach from A Day for Daisies???? It's all ready for blinging up!!!! I colored it with copics and highlighted it with gold stickles and dew drops! And I've added a gold metallic quad bow, and heat embossed the rose leaf with gold embossing powder,,,, a blingy stick pin and a computer generated sentiment (You'll always be our princess!) complete the card.  So pretty! I've put this card away for the perfect card to give my daughter the next time I need one! And I know she'll love it!!!!!

Here's a close up of all the bling on my image!

So pop on over to Party Time Tuesdays and get your blingy card linked up!!!!!! We hope to see you soon!

A Sexy Little Valentine!!!!!

I don't generally do this type of card,,,,,in fact,,,it's pretty much NOT my style,,,,,,,buuuuuuuut,,,,I happened to win a couple images from Kenny K, and for some reason,,,,,this image (Sexy Cupid) stuck in my head as something kinda cute to give my DH for Valentines day,,,,,,,You can get this and many other cute digis from Kenny K here!

We can all dream LOL!

I used AGAIN my favorite paper Lost and Found by MME (I loved this stuff so much, I ended up buying a HUGE pad of it at HL,,,,,,the sheets are thin, but I didn't care,,,and that's saying something! I am normally quite picky about the thickness of my papers!)

I layered on this deep red paper over black and cream dots,,,,,I cut the edges of the card and the pp with nesties edgeabilities (classic Ric Rak) and then layered the whole over red and cream dots,,,,,,

the image was colored with copics,,,,,,not my best job, but black is a tough color to get right. And hair confounds me every single time,,,,,,,eh, practice makes perfect! I stickled her wings liberally and it has hints of gold in it,,,,,,which led me to dig out the very last (sob!) tiny piece of my gold mirror card and cut this key and heart lock. I believe the nesties set is called "Timeless Heritage", and I bought it YEARS ago before I knew I'd someday have almost 40 sets of nesties LOL. I do not think it's available any longer.

A few sticky gems and a small ribbon and she's finished!

Here's a close up of the image!

I think he'll like it,,,,,,,and get a kick out of the sentiment,,,,,,,, "We can all dream. Happy Valentines Day".

Thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoyed!
