Christmas Cardinals

I finally got a new card made this evening. I was determined to do something productive tonight!!

Last 2 Halloween Cards

Thank goodness, the Halloween cards, stamps and embellishments can be packed away---- again!! I've been under the weather the last couple of days, so this is the first chance I've had to post the last 2 type Halloween cards I made for Laura. I made some minor changes to these after the pictures were taken, but since I was feeling so bad, I didn't re-take the pictures. Sorry about that, but you get the general idea.

The first card, I remembered seeing one like it on a blog last Halloween. I have no idea which blog, since it was a year ago, so I do apologize for not being able to give credit appropriately. This was the first one I made.... with the next one, I played with the size a little and got one I was a little happier with-- and would fit in a regular size envelope. This one was a little bit of a challenge to get into an envelope!! And I absolutely do not recommend cutting out the house mousies--- not an easy task!! LOL!!

The second card is a little mummy. After I took the picture, I decided I didn't like the eyes--- I was playing with them and trying to work from memory which is never a good idea for me. I took the eyes off and redid them, but I didn't take another picture. The original card idea was CASE'd from an internet friend of mine, Char. She gives credit to another blog, but I have to give my credit and inspiration to her!!

Birthday Cards

Sent out a couple of birthday cards to some high school buddies this week. The first one is done with copic markers and prisma pencils-- no OMS.


This Happy Hopper is one of my favorite cards. I colored him before I discovered OMS, so he is done with just prisma pencils. I can't wait to color one with him with the OMS... its on my list of images to work on!!

Halloween Cards: Part 2 ..... and still counting!!

If this post seems like dejevu for you, don't feel bad--- it does me too!! I've made so many Halloween cards, I see them when I close my eyes!!

These are more of the cards that I am helping make for Laura for her friends. She hadn't seen any of the cards until last night and was very excited and pleased with how they are turning out, although they are all very simple with not a lot of layers or extras. As a matter of fact, she told me I could make more than the original 20 we had agreed on!! Goody, goody!! LOL!!

These are the ones I worked on yesterday afternoon and this morning.... and there will be more to come!! LOL!! I have 3 on my desk now, waiting to be finished!!

Halloween Cards: Part 1

I told Laura I would help her make some Halloween cards for her friends.... I have about 1/2 of them finished. These are all very quick, simple cards. I'm trying to make them with a minimum of "bells and whistles"

Autumn Scene

I made these last week end.

Laura's Halloween Tilda

Last week, I thought I had finished all my Halloween cards... so I cleaned off my desk and put away all the Halloween stamps. Sunday night, Laura mentions she wishes she had time to make Halloween cards for her friends.... hint..... hint.... hint. ... Her schedule is so busy now, we both knew that was impossible.... so I offered to help.

I started coloring images and have 13 colored. I'm going to color them all and then put them all on cards at the same time. And I should make 1 correction-- I HAD 13 images.... now I have 12 because I took one of the Tilda's that I colored yesterday and made a Halloween card for Laura.

When I did my Halloween cards, I did this cute little witch in dark purple or blue. Laura didn't like the blue, so for her cards, I was coloring all of them purple. I got tired of looking at the purple, so I decided to try orange-- and I love it. Laura liked these best of all, so I decided that's what I'd make her Halloween card with.

I also couldn't find a big embellie that I liked for the card, so I made a big piece of candy corn!!
