Magic of Christmas

Hello everyone!!!!  

or should I say Merry Christmas!!!  lol - Actually I am trying to keep up with my Christmas cards this year so i have time in November and December to do more presents :)

Here is one card I made last night...

Made with Stamping Bella and believe it or not the sentiment is a sticker!!!!!

I love how it all came together - I also used the foliage die cut from your next stamp and all the paper I found in my stash I believe that it is Lily bean designs.  On the die cuts I used green  and fire fly stickles to have it pop away from the background.  The card looks so much prettier in person and the colours are a bit off.  the pic was taken with my iPad and I am still trying to figure out the best program.  if you have a good one please let me know :)

As you all know... I love the challenges

Here are the ones I received inspiration from:

jingle belles - sticky sweet

Christmas cards all year round - sparkle and bling

all that stickles - green

Christmas card challenges - atg

whoopsi daisy - 2  pattern papers

party time tuesday - die cuts

Hello everyone 

I have been asked to be a guest bar-tender at Raising the bar!!! 

I was given this amazing sketch to work with 

here is my inspiration for the sketch - of course for new years.  

I gave the card to my dear friend that invited me to her house for the night. So much fun and she loved the card!

the ribbon was from a gift i received at Christmas and couldn't bare to part with it

the stamp i used is from stampin bella

I added a bit of liquid glass for the glasses and the wine bottle 

and my CTMH pen to colour and write the sentiment
