A little something to get started on Christmas cards. Did this this morning while I was thinking about what to do for Halloween. LOL.

Leaf Luminary

I made this leaf luminary from a file I got at papercompulsions.blogspot.com. Jani has some wonderful files on her site. This was my first try at this and I think it turned out well. I cut the file with my cricut, placed velum behind the squares and then added a color changing T-lite inside.

Spools of thread

Here are 2 more drawings I did of some thread on a spool. I hope you can use them and I would love to see what you create with them. You can email me at n_parton@charter.net.

I drew this blanket for a baby shower invite we made for our daughter. The theme was Teddy Bear Picnic.

Free digi stamp

Hope you can find a use for these pumpkins. I made one with and without leaves so you can layer if wanted. I would love to see what you create with them.

Halloween challenge

I entered this card in the Halloween challenge at CardzTV. Mary"s work is just awesome.
I used cuts from Happy Hauntings cartridge. Hope you like it.

Fall Tilda

Made this card with a Magnolia stamp. I love this little stamp because she is so versatile. I used several copic markers. I did not keep track of the color numbers I used. Just kind of opened up my case and went for it. ha ha

Here is a Halloween card I made using several different mediums. I used the Happy Hauntings cricut cartridge for the pumpkin and used Distressed inks to shade the pumpkin and copic markers for the lines. It is still amazing to me that this pumpkin started out as just a plain cut out with no lines and deffinition. Then I used a digital stamp that I got online. I goggled free digital stamps and this was among the free images page. I used Copic markers to color the image. The list of marker colors is listed below this post.

YR 16 and YR 68 for shading the pumpkin and the shading on the tights

E00 and E11 for the skin and R02 for the rosy cheeks

V17 and V15 for the tights

YG23 for the dress and YG00 for the lighter color on the dress

100 and C-1 for hair highlight

Thank you to all our Troops

I made this card to send in a box of goodies to my son stationed in the army over in Iraq. I colored it with copic markers and I hope he likes it.

Ant cupcakes

We made these cupcakes for my step daughters baby shower. Her theme was Teddy Bears Picnic so how perfect were these little ants????? We used chocolate covered pomegranites and cake icing in a tube. Everyone thought they turned out just to cute.

I made this card with another Magnolia stamp. Like I said.. these are just the cutest stamps.

This is a card I made with my new Magnolia Stamp. I just love these little images. I colored it (of course) with my copic markers. I used the Happy Hauntings cartridge for Beware.
Thanks for looking.

Butterfly Baby

I saw these dolls displayed at Craft Warehouse that they had decorated with flowers and moss. I thought I could do that myself so I gave it a shot. My sister has the Anne Geddes dolls so I thought this would be a perfect additon for her birthday. I got a wood block from the dollar store and covered the block with these fall leaf picks from Michaels for .99 cents a piece. I found a pack of butterfly wings that I an using for our daughters wedding in September so I glued one of those on the back of the doll.

Remember the value of a gift may only be $10, but the value of a hand made gift from the heart is priceless.

My first diaper wreath

My daughter is having a baby shower this weekend and I made this with the diapers left over from the diaper baby. I used the New Arrival cricut cartridge for the bottle and onsie and the Create a Critter for the frog. Don't you just love the frogs big googly eyes? This is the very first diaper wreath I have made and I think it turned out fairly nice. It is great to have something you see in your head turn out the way you thought.

My husband wanted me to make a card for his sisters birthday. He had no ideas of what I should do but said he knew I could come up with something. He did know she liked blue so I hope she likes what I came up with.
