Git 'er Done

Two very quick "git 'er done" cards! I'm winding down on making all my Christmas cards and needed two really quickies to get in the mail.  Every year I say the same thing........  NEXT YEAR I will be done with all my Christmas cards early AND they will be super clean and simple with nothing on them that will require extra postage or having to be hand cancelled!  That means no bows, rhinestones, or anything to cause bulk!  Oh, and they WILL have a postage stamp on them!  Jim came in from getting the mail today with a handful of cards that I'd sent several days ago!!!!!  Duh, no stamp on them!!  Ok, so next year I WILL get my act together!

My first card is very similar to one I posted several days ago - but this one is done in red.  I used the Impression Obsession die for the tree.   On the second one I used a SU stamp that's been embossed in gold.  The frame around this was done with SU punches.  It was very hard to get a photo of this one due to the shine off the embossing powder.......and that's Night of Navy card stock.

Sorry I'm not going to have a Funny Friday tomorrow.....just too much going on right now to think about that.  Maybe next week.......

All Bundled Up

It's time again for another challenge from {Pin}spirational!!  We're being sponsored this week by The Digi Garden - who also provided images for the DT to use!  Be sure and enter our challenge for your chance to win a great prize package from the sponsor!  Stop by our blog and check out all the inspiration from the DT too!

I went with a lighter color blue in this along with some stripe DP that has a tad of maroon/red in it.  Looks like winter and snow have already hit where this little gal is and she's just itching for a good snowball fight!  I dotted her muffler and cap with my glitter pen after coloring and then added the snowflake and bow.

I love the hat with the tomahawk look to it!  I'd even be willing to wear one of those myself.....um....may get a few funny looks but it sure would be fun!

Golden Trees

Thought I'd give everyone a little gold and white today!  I used an Impression Obsession die and then placed some gold card stock behind the cut outs.  The sentiment (again) is from Stampabilities.  That gold ribbon......mercy me, is it ever shiny!!!  It's almost to the point of being gaudy!!   A pretty clean and simple card - and another one completed for the year.   Hopefully I'll get some of these Christmas cards addressed and mailed this weekend!

Single Snowflake

Let It Snow!!!!  It would be so wonderful to get snow here this year.....keeping my fingers crossed on that one though.  It wouldn't even have to be much - just enough so I could say it snowed!!  Oh, well, I guess I can keep dreaming.

I used a snowflake die from Impressions Obsessions and the sentiment is from Stampablities.  A clean and simple card for sure - but another one completed for Christmas!

There about a zillion challenges out there right now screaming for Christmas related cards - but I'll enter this in Mark's Finest Papers (Christmas card with no red or green) and the challenge at Simon Says Stamp (snowflakes).

Kicking Off The Holidays

Happy Ho, Ho, Ho!!!  I thought I'd start the holidays off right and give you a Funny Friday!!!  Just once I'd like to be able to dress like this for Christmas - to give everyone a thrill.  I'm thinking I'd be their very favorite elf!!!

The stamp I used is from Art Impressions and I love this little gal!   I colored her with Copics, added a bit of Liquid Applique to her hat and rhinestones to her shoes and earrings.  This card got a little "busy" real quick - maybe it's just too much red and green and that patterned paper.

Jim took one look at the card and said she looked just like his sister!  YIKES!  He's already got dubs on it and will send it to her this year!   She really does have a sense of humor though so think it's going to be ok.

Thank You Squares

A really quick card today........but I DO have a Funny Friday coming up this week!  Yeah!!!  I've been such a slacker lately on those and would promise to get better, but know better than to do that with all the holidays coming up.

Does this scream SPRING or what!!!  I had all this stuff laying on my desk and decided to throw it together and have another thank you type card done.  Easy beans!

I want to take a second here and give a great big huge THANKS to Tammy over at My Craft Central!!!  I've been trying (ever since I've had a blog) to get my photos on here to look right - they're always TOO big or TOO little.  I've tried so many different things and none of them seemed to work.  I commented to Tammy the other day asking how she got her photos so pretty and just the right size (plus, she makes fabulous cards!!!) - and she told me how she did it!!!!!  I've still got a lot to learn on the clarity, etc. but feel like I'm on the right road now.  So, this is my "test" photo on posting a horizontal card.  I'm still a "work in progress" but feel like one of these days I'll get it now.  So, Tammy, thank you again so very much!
