<br />
It's that time of year where I start making Christmas cards again. What better way to start then by using this adorable <a href="https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/gnome-santa-clear-polymer-stamp-set-naughty-or-nice/">Gnome Santa</a> stamp from <a href="https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/">Polkadoodles</a>.<br />
I know that Santa is supposed to be all in red, but seeing as it's a gnome, I thought he looked like he was Santa's little helper. :)<br />

My sister and her family came out for a visit. I made up a basket full of goodies for her daughter and made this card for her.Of course I added some money for her to go souvenir shopping with. I have to be the cool Aunt, lol.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This little cutie of an image is called <a href="https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/poppy-with-phone-printable-digital-stamp-download/">Poppy with phone</a>. The shape of the card is a Dutch Doobadoo. I just love them! I used The Paper Studio Croc Texture embossing folder. I thought it gave it a nice added umph to the card. The sentiment is from JustRite Cling called Oceanside Medallion Labels Oval. I colored her with my Copics and that's about it!<br />
I hope you can join us this go around as there is always great prizes to be won! :)<br />

The challenge is always Anything Goes and it runs for a two week period.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used the delightful <a href="https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/wine-dave-male-printable-digital-stamp-download/">Wine Dave</a> image. It seemed fitting for a celebration card to me.<br />
I didn't use much supplies to make this card really. Spellbinders Standard Circles Large, and Nested Lacey Pennants. I used a 1 inch corner punch on the corner to add a little something different. The paper is from Paper Studio called Green Country Crackle. The other paper is from my scraps. I colored the image with my Copics. That's about it!<br />
I do hope you join in on the fun and enter! There is great prizes to be won! :)<br />
<br />
Hugs, and happy crafting!<br />

my husband and I lost our parents, so I kind of made a generic card for

The first card I used <a href="https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/bunny-with-carrots-printable-digital-stamp-download/">Bunny with carrots</a> image. The second card I used <a href="https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/bunny-with-flowers-printable-digital-stamp-download/">Bunny with flowers</a>. The first Easter card I made more neutral because we have a granddaughter and two grandsons in the family. The second card we have all granddaughters in the family. Oh, come to think of it, I made the second card for my sister who has all girls in her family, lol. I already posted the card beforehand of the one I am sending my granddaughters.<br />
Oh, on the second Easter card, I hand cut the eggs. I didn't own a die and really wanted them in the center. When all else fails, you do it yourself! (Chattering teeth, lol)<br />
Hope to see you as there is a great prize to be won at A Gem of Challenge!<br />
Hugs, and happy crafting!<br />

I had bought Hide Tides stamp set from Stampin Up quite awhile back and thought it would be perfect to use for a scene with the flamingo. I also used Studio R that came with an assortment of stamps and used the little sailboat with it. The stitched clouds came from Jaded Blossom. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I colored the flamingo with Copics and Faber Castell colored pencils. They seem to have brighter more vibrant colors in those pencils.</div>

This will be my last post before Christmas so I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! Anyone out traveling, I pray for safe travels!<br />
Today starts a new challenge at <a href="https://pinkgemchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">A Gem of A Challenge</a>!<br />
It is always "Anything Goes", but we were asked on the dt to make anything but a card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I decided to make Christmas tags. We have gift bags under the tree with our gifts in each one so I thought it would be great to put a tag with our names on them to set on top of each bag. My youngest daughter liked the idea so much that she made two tags for me also so that I have a tag for both of my gift bags under the tree as well. :) The scalloped shape at the bottom of each tag, I used a Dutch Doobadoo Shaped Art and just used a piece to form the scallop. I colored each one with my Copics.<br />
Here are the images I used: <a href="https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/snowman-pom-poms-printable-digital-stamp-download/">Snowman Pom Pom</a>, <a href="https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/snowman-lantern-printable-digital-stamp-download/">Snowman Lantern</a>, <a href="https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/cocktail-chilly-snowman-printable-digital-stamp-download/">Cocktail Chilly</a>, and <a href="https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/snow-friends-printable-digital-stamp-download/">Snow Friends</a>.<br />
Shopping is made more easy now with <a href="https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/">Polkadoodles</a> selling some of Pink Gem images now. :)<br />
There are great prizes to be won, so I hope you come and participate.<br />
Hope to see you there!<br />
Hugs, and happy crafting!<br />

The cup shape is a Dutch Doobadoo. The sad part is that we can't get Dutch Doobadoos here in the states. I was fortunate that a friend of mine from the Netherlands sent me quite a few. I just love them!<br />

It's always an Anything Goes challenge. It runs for two weeks.<br />

I chose this wonderful image called <a href="https://www.fabrikafantasy.com/store.php#.W9G8zOJRfIW">Mighty Wizard</a>. I have to say, I was a bit nervous after I chose this image, but I think he turned out rather nicely! One of my granddaughters loves anything to do with Harry Potter, so I had her in mind when I chose this image. I will just save this card until her birthday roles around again.<br />
Come join in this week and show us your wonderful projects!<br />Hugs, and happy crafting!<br />Sandy.<br />

I just thought it was to darn cute!<br />
I am more of a traditional type of gal who sticks normally to the traditional reds, greens, and silver for Christmas cards, but this one shouted to me to use pink from the start.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There was no other color that would do for me, so pink it is! I think it's because of the Rudolph nose?!?!<br />
I know that some people cringe probably seeing Christmas cards this soon, but for me, it's necessary to start getting them done. Besides, I am a Christmas girl through and through! :)<br />
<br />
Hugs, and happy crafting!<br />Sandy.<br />
