All I want for Christmas...

Good morning all.  Today's card for Doctor Digi's House of Stamps will be my last for the DT as I am stepping down from the team.  I love the images, as they are so much fun, but my eyes are giving me serious problems and I need to cut back.  Oh, the joys of the Golden Years, they are really something to behold!!

Here, I've had fun with the Elliot and Elvis image...a new one for this year.  Coloured with markers in nice bright colours, I'm sure it will bring a smile this Chrismas.  I've kept it nice and simple, with lots of white space and a couple of sentiment stickers that I found in my stash.  I added a bit of glitter to the DP, but it doesn't show well in the photo.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.  Savor the lovely fall weather while it lasts, before winter sets in.

Pizza overload...

It may be Thanksgiving, and traditionally the meal is turkey....but I'm sure some will be going for pizza.  This fun image is from Dr Digi's House of Stamps, titled Fast Food Frankie.  Hopefully he's having a party, and not eating all these pizzas himself.

Coloured with markers and a bit of pencil, I've added a bit of background to the image.  The card itself is really CAS, using one piece of DP and some washi tape.  Nice to know that washi tape does wonders to a bit of paper candi too!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. (here in Canada)

Santa's Washing...

Hi again.  Just thought I would post this card while I'm waiting to see if the cloudy skies are going to produce rain.  I want to get out in the garden while the weather is still mild, so as to put the gardens all to bed....as we know quite well what is coming.

So, in keeping with a positive outlook....Christmas is coming.  We'll let the negatives slide for now, and here is a Christmas card with a lovely image from The Paper Shelter.  It's coloured with markers, with some liquid applique added for dimension.  An added sentiment, a Spellbinder's die and some gold metalic pen provide the finishing touch.

I've used a couple of Christmas DP from my stash, along with a MS punch for a lacy effect.  A bit of ribbon and 2 bits of  paper candi adds just a little embellishment.

Thanks for stopping by, and try to get out and enjoy some fall temperatures before the winter sets in.
