| Hello......I've been busy like everyone else rushing around getting ready for Christmas. These are some last minute gift containers that I've saved through out the year and stashed for just this purpose of putting home made goodies inside!! So first I made up a double batch of Chex Mix and fill these babies to the brim......and decorated with some fun designer paper adding these adorable stamped images of Hanglar Stanglar winter kids, lastly the sentiment is retired SU. I have a dear friend Eva that lives in Sweden she purchased these for me last year and I finally got them stamped out, colored with copic markers. |

Well I went to the Wednesday's scrapbook get together.....yes it was a chilly day with our blustery wind that has been blowing for the last couple days making it extra chilly. BRRRRRRR!!! Did you know that we had a Meteor Shower in the Geminid region, Well I saw a falling meteor streaking across the night sky with a white tail then it burst and was gone, it was to last 3 nights and guess what it got cloudy and I wasn't able to see anymore......darn, darn, darn!!!!

| Just popping in to share with you one of the latest stamped items that I've finished up........the background sky stamp is a borrowed image "Northern Lights" from a dear friend Donna, she said for me play awhile with it since I'm having so much fun with the scenery stamps. If you have done masking of any kind then you'll be able to do these too, I used a lot of different ways to add in my ink color. (dauber, brush & markers) Finish the project off with 2 coats of clear embossing and mount on your desired card stock. Sorry the scan is just a bit crooked.......but you get the idea. |

| Well I'm done for a bit on cards..... this card is simple peel and stick greetings with stars that I put on yellow card stock. (And if you really know me I don't do yellow much at all, so whatever was I thinking of using yellow!) Well I distressed the yellow enough that I was happy with it but it was lacking something so I punched an extra star and added some flourishes with a little stickles for sparkle. |

| This is a challenge card that I made for a Inkyfunstampers Yahoo groups......I started out with the SU ornament punch, punch 3 in designer paper and glued back to back inserting ribbon for hanging. Then I took my card stock cut 4 1/2 inches by 10 and folded in half, next I picked out a nestibilities laying it on the edge of the card stock that is folded in half to run thru the Cuttlebug. Now I have my opening for the hanging ornament........stamp greenery on card if desired, I also stamped, colored & cut-out a kitty hanging on some branches with small round ornaments. Now attach hanging ornament & designer paper for background of card window and stamp your sentiment. This fun trying to figure out because they gave no instructions or measurements! |

| Well I got all my swaps done now with this card being the last one......it was themed "Using Acetate" I used the retired snowflake acetate from SU in this widow card tho you can't even see the snowflakes in the scan. It took a bit to do this card I stamped & masked the images and colored it in with copic markers for the main card, attached the acetate to the inside of the cut-out (which was done with nestabilities) then I got to work on the outside of the card......randomly stamped the trees, stamp greenery swap on upper part of the card and lastly stamp snowflakes all over the card. I'm gonna also enter this for the challenge over at Stamp-n-doodle for the "Anything Goes Winter Challenge" |

| Hello.....I posted the main art work on this card last month so you may remember it, well I finally got around to making a card with it......so I stamped the pine swag randomly for the background giving it a little more feel of a manly card....LOL then I dry brushed it in with Garden Green & Early Expresso which are SU Classic stamping dye inks. Some lucky person will be getting this as a swap this month! |
