Joy to One and All

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's time for a new challenge at Color Hues and it's the last challenge 

of the year.  We'll be taking a short break to enjoy the holidays, so you have

a whole month to join in.

This month Tracey picked our colors.  She chose....

I used these fun colors for a Christmas card.

This little gnome was colored with Copics and added over an embossed piece.

I used my punches to make ornaments for the tree and a silvery end to his cap.

The sentiment was done with my Betterpress.

Now let's go and see what my talented friends have done to inspire you.

I hope you'll create a card using Pink & Green and add it to the gallery at

Color Hues.

Challenge ends at 9:00 AM on December 29th.

Angel Joy

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I've used something else from my Christmas NBUS box.

I admired this Papertrey Ink die last Christmas and Santa brought her to me.

We won't tell him how long it took to play with her.  Okay?

I want to stay on his good list.  LOL. I need more NBUS!

I used Cécile's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.

I stamped the stars (it may be NBUS too) with silver ink and heat embossed

with silver powder.  I found two circle dies that would work to cut them out and add

a narrow mat around the starry circle.

The angel was cut from champagne foil that has been in my stash for years.

I've had so much fun with this angel die and will hopefully get some

photos edited and share some more.

Card Recipe

Stamps:  Star Cluster (Lavinia)

Ink:   Encore Silver

Paper:   Blue Sparkle, Neenah, Champagne foil

Other:  Silver EP, Angelic Sentiments Die (PTI), Circle dies (HA & MFT), Joy Die (ECD), Sparkling Diamonds Cover Plate (PFS)

Enjoy!

Turning the Page December 2025

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

By the way, the calendars 4 ½ x 7 inches and and can be displayed on an easel

or hung on a push pin or magnetic hook.  We all have a different way to display them.

Email link is on the sidebar.

Time to do a new calendar!

Amaryllis

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I have a confession to make.

I wasn't going to buy anything else to use for Christmas until I used ALL my

NBUS Christmas stash.  But Michele got to me with the second and third

of these cards.

So I wouldn't feel too bad about my over buying addiction, I made

this into a birthday card instead of Christmas.  It's for a very special person so it's 

larger than normal.

I cut everything from Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored with Copics.

It was a challenge getting the pieces all together right, but oh what wonderful

dimension they have.  Totally worth it!

I used a sentiment that had been foiled with a Betterpress plate and my

Glimmer Machine.

Now I have a request.  My friend Marge is celebrating her 90th birthday

on December 23rd.  We would love for her to get 90 birthday cards.

If you'd like to send her one, email me (see my sidebar) and I will give

you her address.

Card Recipe

Stamps:  PP It's Your Day (SB)

Ink:   

Paper:   Neenah Solar White

Other:  Layered Amaryllis die (HB), Copics (R24, R29, R37, YG01, YG03, G24, YG67, YR23, E97, E23, 0), Tile Reflections EF, Essential Modern Oval die (SB), Subtle EF (ret SU), Gold Foil
