Christmas Card Exhaustion

This terrific image is from Chris Dark at Sketching Stamper Digi Stamps.  I  loved it the first time I saw it. She has an amazing blog and some really great digi stamps. I am adding this to the DareU2Digi challenge this week.. I also created it for the Mothermark Teapot Tuesday challenge on SCS.  I just could not create another Christmas card. 


DareU2Digi -  last minute Christmas cards

Have a great weekend..

Sisters In Christ

This last weekend I had the opportunity to meet the very first friend I met on SCS.. She commented on my card and we were fast friends.. If you spend any time at all on Splitcoast you know her. Pat Smethers and her husband Bill (aka Bubba) were here in NC and I drove over with another SCSer (Grace) to see them.. I wanted to give her and Grace something special.. I had already made Grace a card but when I saw this digital image at Designed2Delight Digital Stamps I knew it was the one I needed for Pat's card.  We have a group over on SCS that we call Sisters In Christ..I kept the card simple.. This image is perfect for that.. The pearls I used were in a RAK that Pat sent to me not too long ago..

I also made a gift bag for the gift using the same image..I embossed her wings with Gold Embossing powder.

I gave Pat and Grace each a beaded book mark that had an angel on one end and a cross on the other. I created them each one and they were so easy.. I found a tutorial on YouTube.  Then I added a daily inspirational book to go with it..

I added this to the Stamping Sisters in Christ blog challenge #17. This week the theme is TREASURES.  You were to make a card or project with all your bling and treasures.  This is my first time playing in this challenge and I love it..

Matthew 6:19-21 "Do not store up for yourself treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."







Thanks Pat and Bill for sharing your day with us. It was a pleasure and an honor meeting you both..

Now head on over to Designed2Delight Digital Stamps and take a look at the new challenge Faith has posted.  It is awesome.. I only wish I had time to play..


Have a terrific week, 

Designed2Delight Snow Dog

I had so much fun with this project. Today's challenge on SCS is to create a Shipping
Tag Box.. I wanted to use this new image I just got from Designed2Delight.. I just love it.
I filled my box with dog bones for my sister's dog.  The darn dog is eating the ornaments
off her tree.. I am including this in their Christmas package. 

I colored my image with prisma pencils and copics.  Added chunky glitter at the bottom for my snow.. Go check out D2D's other sweet images...
