I can't believe this is my first post for December... sorry everyone!
I've been rather poorly so didn't manage to hit the craft room until last weekend.
My inspiration for getting back in the crafting saddle was the need to make a card for my Dad's birthday.
I'm amazed that he is now 76 as he is as lively as a cricket and never fails to be the life and soul of the party! Dad loves the Peanuts characters, so when I saw this sweet stamp on offer over at the
Craft Barn I just had to get it.
Next up I'm going to share two cards that I made using a gorgeous stamp from
Crafty Individuals.
I thought CAS with red and cream was just the ticket. The red ink and the cardstock is Stampin' Up Real Red - lovely!
The next image is also from
Crafty Individuals.
I stamped in Memento and then coloured with a variety if Distress inks, and mounted on a leftover of that rich red card. I really like this traditional image of Santa on his sleigh.
My final two cards are the one's that I made for my parents...
...and for my hubby.
I've had my eye on this image from the fabulous
Mo Manning for ages, but have never felt that my colouring skills could do it justice. In the end I decided to throw caution to the wind and go for it!
Well, that just leaves me to wish you all a very
HAPPY CHRISTMAS.
Thank you for all your friendship, kind comments and inspiration... Blog friends are real friends and I appreciate each and every one of you.
Festive hugs and kisses to you all, hope you have the best Christmas ever.
