My Favorite Christmas Colors!

DRS Designs is the sponsor at Tuesday Morning Sketches this week so I decided to play too (especially since the sketch is sooo fun).  I love the aqua, green, and red color combination I am seeing on Christmas cards this year so get ready for an aqua, green and red color explosion on my blog over the next few months!



All my images and backgrounds are by DRS Designs:

Ornament: Simple Ornament
Inside the Ornament:  Snow Tree with Fence
Greeting and foliage around ornament:  Season's Greetings Holy Spray
Base Background: Small Merry Christmas Greeting (stamped multiple times)
Top Background Panels:  Script Font Background

This sketch was so fun and I really like how the card came out.  Hope you get a chance to play in the challenge too. 

Hugz!

    These are two color I would not have thought to put together but they work beautifully. I can' wait to see more of your Christmas cards with these two colors. This one is just beautiful. Have a good day.

    I've missed seeing a couple of gorgeous cards from you Nancy! This is so pretty and just love the colors you used for it. I wouldn't have ever thought those colors would look good together and yet they're wonderful!

    Girl, you make a Christmas card that is a gift all by itself! The layering and richness of this card blows me away! And you go ahead with the color jam because I love green, aqua, and red on a CC, too!! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell

    This is so amazing! Love the way you have used the tree stamp inside the ornament stamp!! BTW, the embossing folder I used is from Cuttlebug 5 X 7 (not sure the name of it)

Language Plays, Billiard Balls, and Some "Interesting" Wine

 I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme.  This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible.  When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa.  There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here.   The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH).  The gnome is CTMH as well.  Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving.  It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....

Stamps, Books, Found Relatives, and More Food

 Don't you love getting new stuff?  This is my fun new stuff from  Red Lead Paperworks .   I ordered the fun vintage looking deer stamp and the three Christmas greetings - all were on sale a few weeks ago.  I love getting their packages because they always send some extra little goodies like collage sheets and old tickets plus even their packaging is cute and reusable.  The sheet with the leaves and acorns on the bottom is the other side of the invoice so you can reuse it as well.  I can't wait to play with these fun goodies.  Here is a look at my current reading pile.  I checked Basil's War by Stephen Hunter from the library, my daughter lent me The Paper Palace, and I bought The Host, Going Back to Petrey, and The Lady in Blue from the Thrift Store. I am reading Basil's War and The Lady in Blue at the same time - something I really shouldn't do especially since both books are the kind that switch between stories every chapter.  Th...

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!
