Christmas Blessings and More…

How’s your Christmas decorating going? Mine is slow but I’m savoring it. Brought up the rest of the boxes last nite – I know – some of you have had your decorating done for sometime now, but this is actually pretty good for me.

A few more cards…

Don’t you love the new snowflake die from Papertrey?  I can think of a million ways to use it – just need the time..

A sweet vintage image of children at play in the snow, a little machine sewing, paint, and glitter ~ I’m a happy woman!

A simple Christmas in Paris…the image is from a beautiful set of digital images by Seneca Pond. I stamped and rhinestoned (I know that’s not a word) snowflakes, hand dyed and crinkled my seam binding and of course painted and glittered my jingle bell.

A beautiful background paper from Bety’s Etsy Shop makes this card along with a sentiment from the “Christmas Music” set by Flourishes, and the stamped trees are from an old SEI set. Glittered of course.

That’s all for today – I hope you are savoring every moment of this beautiful season. Take care Friends,

Dru

Joy Attend you….

Another beautiful Ellen Clapsaddle image set in a medley of vintage papers. The polka dot and Christmas advertisement are both digital papers from Bety’s Etsy Shop.

The other bits and pieces are all from my own gatherings – the jingle bell is painted and glittered, the stick pin I also colored with a Sharpie marker – nothing fancy here – and I’m not sure where I got the stick pin, but they seem easy to come by in most of the online shops, buttons are from Papertrey.

Have a wonderful day

I’m linking up to Color Create (a new challenge I just found) to use red, white, and green. I found this challenge site through Peggy at The Wired Angel http://thewiredangel.blogspot.com/2011/12/santa-baby.html

Santa Claus is Coming …..

That’s the theme of the current challenge at City Crafter Challenge Blog. I love this sweet image – such a pretty Santa face and beautiful little girl on a vintage collaged post card background. There’s still plenty of time to play so pop on over and take a look!

Image is from Made by Janet and the wonderfully vintage background paper is digital also ~ it’s from Bety’s Etsy Shop. I’ve added glitter (of course), buttons, paper doily, machine stitching, and ink to distress the edges.

Happy Holiday Season to everyone and Merry Christmas friends.

Very Merry and Warm Winter Wishes…

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful holiday season. We’re expecting a good size storm now ~ hopefully a little snow to get our ski season started for Thanksgiving.  Our winds are high and the squirrels are going through our rain gutters looking for last minute pine nuts I guess, and I’ve found 2 of the most gorgeous nests on the ground – one from the wind and one from the squirrels.

A little Christmas cheer…

No challenge, just one of the cards I’ve been working on for Christmas, my Etsy shop, and Lake Tahoe Holidays. The beautiful image is from the Made by Janet Etsy Shop. The little tag says “very merry” and is from Papertrey – the tiny tags set.

Another image from the Made by Janet Etsy shop – the same collage sheet. The Christmas wreath die cut is also from there.

Have a very merry day friends,

Dru

Give Thanks

Among all the most wonderful things related to Autumn is probably my most favorite holiday ~ Thanksgiving. I love the smells, the turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy with stuffing ~ and my mother’s pumpkin pie which I make now as she has not been with us for several years, the traditions, the gathering of family ~ all cozy and warm.

Just a couple of creations…

And my favorite…

Have a great month ~ take the time to really take in all the wonderfulness of this month. Take care friends~
