A Few Last Minute Christmas Cards

I hope you all have your holiday cards already done and mailed out, but I am slacking as always.  I have a few last minute Christmas cards to share:
This one was made with the new DRS Designs Christmas Door Knocker image and some greenery made with the Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens dies.  I colored it up with some SU! markers and Stickles. 
This one was made with the Flamingo Palm Tree Scene in the background, some fussy cut shells from the new Seashell Christmas Tree image, and the new Seas and Greetings Greeting.   I used some funky fibers and pearls to add more texture to the wreath.  The window die is from MFTs and the wood grained embossing folder is from SU!.
I made a bunch of these.  I used several different fonts to create the quote from The Polar Express movie (hubby's favorite), I  watercolored a few lines on the left side an did some splatters.  It needed something else so I stamped the bells (from DRS Designs).  Some Stickles made the bells look a little better since they were over-stamped on the watercolor. 

Many hugz and well wishes!

Nancy

    Your talent is fantastic, Nancy! Those first two cards aren't cards at all! They should be framed in shadow boxes or in some other way become annual Christmas home decor for the lucky recipients! And the evergreen border, bells, and schplatter on the third one are utterly divine!!

    Thank you for your visit and your lovely words! Mwah!! 🎄Happy Holiday Hugs, Darnell

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Dreams of Fall, Numbers, and a Cool Drink

I hate to admit it, but I am already looking forward to Fall!  That is also the theme for this House Mouse card I finished up today. I stamped this 2009 Turning Over a New Leaf (Monica) image on the envelope too because the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #392 theme is decorate your envelope too.  On the card, I stamped the image, popped up some of the leaves and drew in some branches.  The background and leaves are watercolored with DOX ink.  Monica is colored with pencils and watercolor.   I sure wished it was Fall on Saturday when we were watching our youngest grandson at the 6U All Star State Championship. It was very hot. His team lost in the semi-finals. We were very proud of how hard they played. Speaking of baseball, I did two pages on our two All-Stars. I am linking them up to the Numbers theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .  I have numbers in the journaling and there are numbers on their jerseys.   The All Stars cap ...

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar.  Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks.   Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too.  A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks.  Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week.  Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful.   We shared a pizza and a salad.  I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun.  They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful.  My husband has been know...
