I Believe In Santa!


 Happy Monday!     I hope you had a great weekend!    There is a "bite" in the air and the fog is coming in thick in the early mornings and evenings.    It makes the work commute a little more challenging but I love this time of year.    i think the time between Halloween and Christmas  is my favorite time of year!


Color Me Creative is having a fun challenge waiting for you.    The theme is to coor a Christmas image in a color that is "nontraditional".    No red-green allowed!   Our sponsor is Digi My World!  


I used the digital image called Little Elf from Digi My World for my Holiday card.   I had fun trying to make a Christmas card with violet!  I hope I accompished my task :D

You Make My Heart Sing





Hello everyone!   It's Wednesday already and that means....  I have a day off!   O Happy Day!
I got a little behind on my posting so I am positing like a crazy fool in order to get caught up!  LOL  

This is a card I created for our MarkerPop Inspiration Monday.   We wanted to showcase all the different things you can color with you alcohol ink markers!  I decided to keep it simple.   I had my card finished and I did not have a brad that atched my ink, paper and bow.   I used a green brad and colored it with a dark blue Copic.   The Copic markers have a translucent look so it created a perfect aqua color that coordinated with my card!  

I used this adorable stamp called You Warm My Heart (Whiff of Joy).   Take a look at his little face and cute cheeks.   he warms my heart just looking at him!  :D

I hope you are having a super fabulous day!    Take care and I hope you have some time to sneak some crafting into your day!
