Joy to the world

Hello!  I thought I'd take the time to play in Tiddly Inks Challenge #99 -- Make it like Marlena today.  I got this digi Wryn Goes Caroling when it was first released and I colored her up but didn't get a chance to put her onto a card.  And it's a good thing I printed up some of these Xmas Wryns a while ago cause my printer is all messed up now.  So my love/hate relationship with my printer continues.  Yup, in a hate phase right now. 

So here she is finally on a card.  I love these Wryns.  So adorable and fun to color too.  I added the holly die which is from CC Designs and a little gingerbread man button.

A little close up.  I love Christmas but not so much Christmas music.  Maybe I'm just tired of hearing the same stuff?  But I do love these 2 songs.  The first is Willie K's version of O Holy Night.  You can hear it HERE.  I never really get tired of hearing this version.  The second is the Christmas version of Pachelbel's Canon in D.  You can hear it HERE.  I love listening to Pachelbel's Canon in D.  It was at our wedding too all those years ago.  I must drive my husband crazy listening to all the different versions of it on You Tube.  And then I kick myself for not practicing piano as a kid so I could play this.     

Thanks for the comments on my previous post of Miyoko's hair colors!  When I finish them up, I'll post the colors I used for her hair. 

Thanks for reading!

Wasn't she fun to color up? Your whole card is just wonderful. I just did her too.

Sweet Christmas card! Just went to your Willie K link - his voice is beautiful. Recently we've been listening to Canon in D almost every night...in various versions (vocal, violin, piano, rock, etc). How funny!

All she's adorable! This is a really super sweet card!I have her but not colored up, maybe next year. So many of my holiday images will have to wait for next year. lol.
I love the Willie K song, and have been enjoying all the Hawaiian Christmas music on Hawaiian 105.
Take care!

Snowman gift card holder

By
Hi!  I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences.  It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts.  I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one.  It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch.  The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card.  I added this fun card that I stamped.  You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks.  I hope I can make more of these little guys.  These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...

coffee cup shaped cards

By
Hi!  I think after this post I may need a little nap!  My right shoulder is actually feeling worn out from all the typing and photo editing I've been doing lately.  And this cooler weather is making me drowsy.  It's getting cold here already! I made a bunch of these coffee shaped cards using a die from Honey Bee Stamps .  It's a cute coffee set but the die is extra long so it would probably help to have a longer platform to diecut.  I just have the standard sized one so I would pass it through once in my Big Shot and then rotate the cardstock and die carefully to cut the other end.  Manageable but the longer platform would be more convenient! I embossed the front of the card with some pretty snowflakes.  I think this is a Sizzix embossing folder.  And then stamped the coffee sleeve with some Lawn Fawn stamps. This is the inside.  The gift card slot does not come with this coffee cup die set.  I cut that opening with one ...

Knuffle Bunny

Hi!  The Greeting Farm had their Customer Challenge & Chit Chat Night "A Night at the Bookstore" and introduced a few challenges.  I have to say chatting was too fast for me and I couldn't really keep up.  It was still early here, and I had to pick up the kids from school and activities and make dinner and eat and so I guess the timing didn't really work out with our schedule. You can check out the challenge details on the SCS forum HERE .  I made this card for Favorite Child's Book category.  It is based on the Mo Willems book Knuffle Bunny .  It's one of my kids' favorites and it's such a cute story.  We actually love reading Mo Willems' books especially his Elephant and Piggie series.  Those books are hilarious!  This challenge also made me realize that I haven't read many books recently except kids' books.  I used to love reading but just haven't given it much time lately.  Anyway, here is my card. If you've read the story...
