Ho, Ho, Ho Times Two

It's Friday - so you know what that means!  Yep, it's Fun Friday!  Of course I had to pull out one of those crazy birds for Christmas too.

I found that if I stay off the computer for a few days I can actually get some cards made so that's where I've been and why I've been in and out with commenting and posting.  Trying to catch up but it may take a while.

Ok, back to Fun Friday - this is one RED BIRD!  What else would you expect at Christmas anyway.  Not much shading done but I colored him with Copics, added a 'happy' sentiment, twine, and some candy cane stripe paper.  The 'Ho, Ho, Ho' sentiment is probably older than I am (no way!) and since I already had it out, used it on another card too.

For my second card:  that little Santa is one of the smallest stamps I own!  I've never been able to figure out how exactly to use it but when I saw the challenge at The Crooked Stamper, I knew.  It's a fun challenge and Leslie always has great sketches.  He just seemed to fit on that strip of card stock along with the sentiment.  I added some patterned paper, ribbon, and an embossed panel.  Another card for Christmas completed!

Thanks for stopping by........and have a great weekend.

T Day Is On The Way

As you can see, no sentiment needed on this one!  All you have to do is look at this guys face and know he's totally dreading Thanksgiving Day.  He's tried to disguise himself as an ugly turkey in hopes that he'll  be passed over and not end up on someones plate this year.  Good luck little guy!

The image is from QKR and I love it!  I used a few scraps of paper, did some embossing, and tied the bow.  That's about it.

I'll enter this in the challenges at Simon Says Stamp (Thanks/Thanksgiving), Pixie's Crafty Workshop (snippets), QKR Stampede Challenge, and Classy Cards n'Such (Gobble, Gobble).

An Indian But No Cowboy

We don't ever put any type of costume on Rambo for Halloween - or any other time of the year for that matter - but about a month ago I got him a little cowboy hat.  The cutest thing you've ever seen - but do you think he'd leave that on his head for one second while I was trying to take a picture!  Not even!  So, all you get today is the Indian!  I WILL get that shot of Rambo one of these days though so stay tuned.

The stamp is from I Brake for Stamps and sentiment from Mark's Finest Papers....all stamped on Kraft card stock.  A couple of pieces of some very old patterned paper and a clip were added and I called it done. 

Thought I'd give this one to Jim since he loves reading about the old west and Indians and would have loved living back in those times.  Not me so much since I don't think I could handle buffalo tongue or something like that to eat.  UCK!

Bear-y Christmas

I realize I'm way overdue for a fun Friday and I will attempt to work on one of those this coming week!  In the meantime, just a little bear-y fun way to tell someone to have a wonderful Christmas.

I used a Newton's Nook stamp from the set Winston's Home for Christmas.  A little layering, snowflake embossing folder, patterned paper, and a big snowflake from an Impression die helped it all seem to go together.

I'll take little Winston over to the challenge at Pixie's Crafty Workshop (snippets).

White on White

I can't even remember the last time I used ribbon and a bow on a card!  I didn't know if I'd remember how to still use the Bow-Easy but finally figured it out.  I also don't know when, or if, I've ever created an all white card before either.  Scary!

This is for the House Mouse and Friends challenge to make something all white.  We are allowed to color the image though so I did a tiny bit of coloring.  The stamp I used is called Mouse Drops and think it's perfect for a get well card.  I also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and an oval stitched die.   Hopefully this will cheer up someone.

Owl on a Branch

I'm on a roll trying (once again) to finish all my cards for Christmas.  Every year I say I'm going to do better and then end up rushing around trying to finish them.  I did start a little earlier this year though so that's good.

I guess this is called one layer - on a layer!  I used a red Wink of Stella on the berries and paper pieced his hat.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up and the owl and branch are from Hero Arts.

I'll enter this in the challenge at Less Is More (sketch).

I forgot all about entering this in the challenge at Rudolph's so will pop it over there too for their anything goes Christmas challenge.

Ghoul-y Friends

I know I posted a Halloween card a week or so ago and said it was the last of the litter - but I forgot about this one.  Since I don't have anything else made up to post today, thought I'd let you take a peek.

I used a set of stamps from Lawn Fawn called Booyah along with a couple of rectangle dies, sequins, twine, and some patterned paper.  That about sums it up.  Oh, and I added a rhinestone to the poofy hair on the middle image.  I actually used to have poofy hair almost like that - and yes, it was pretty spooky looking too!  A non-spooky but fun card for a dear, dear friend.

I'll enter this in the Lawnscaping Challenge (Too Cute to Spook)
