FSS Christmas Cardinal

Good morning! Today's card makes me yearn for Christmas and SNOW! I know if I wait long enough they are BOTH just around the corner! I used FSS Christmas Cardinal image on my card for today...it is pre-colored and just one in a series of winter birds that Tracey has in the store. All the paper used on this card is from Pizzazz Aplenty...the silver and green paper has such a pretty pretty shimmer to it that I just couldn't catch on the camera. I used the Fancy Square nesties to emboss the silver layer and die cut the green layer. The flourish is a Marrianne die...added a silver doily behind the image to help set it off the card. My corners were cut with an SU punch and embossed with Cuttlebug folder. As I look at this card now, I wish I had added some sparkle in the image with some stickles or glitter....guess I can still do that. Anyhoooooo, hope you enjoyed my creation today and are inspired to go out and check out this set of winter birds in the FSS store! Have a great day today and thank you for dropping in and leaving some love!

HUGS!

FSS Emma the Skating Elf

Hello to all! I had a pretty productive weekend...both in the yard AND in my room! I had a blast playing with this new image of Tracey's. I used Fred She Said's Emma the Skating Elf  pre-colored image. Isn't she just so cute? This was a really fun image to play with...the possibilities are endless with it! After printing the image, I cut it out with Nestability circle, matted with a slightly larger nestie circle and added some glitter around it to make it festive. I don't know if you can see it, but there is also some clear glitter in Emma's coat and hat. I used the Score Pal to score the white paper in behind the image and an EK Success punch for my border. The gold paper I used was from my stash and the gold flat back gems are from Pizzazz Aplenty! If you have not been out to see Pizzazz Aplenty lately, you really need to....wow what a new assortment of beads and stick pin accessories and charms she has! Guarantee you won't be disappointed! Well, it is late and I am ready to call it a day. Thanks to all of my awesome supporters who have been leaving love...it is very much appreciated. Hope to be back little later in the week or maybe even tomorrow, who knows! Take care!
HUGS!

Doodle Pantry Quirky Penguin

Good morning! We had a wonderful time at the wedding last night...went with oldest son and daughter in law and really had a nice time visiting, eating and dancing! I wanted to get a card posted this morning before I started my day and got busy. Today I am sharing the Doodle Pantry's Quirky Penguin....he is one happy fella and was fun to work with! I used the colored version of the image....and added some Glossy Accents to his feet and beak. The patterned paper in the forefront of the card is one of the two that come with the image set...and so is the sentiment...of which there are several of them as well! This image pack is just packed full of fun! I added one of my own handmade flowers in the corner for a little more fun!
I am so excited to say that I have been asked to stay on with the Doodle Pantry now until February!! WHOOOO HOOOO! More fun ahead! Thanks to Laurie for asking me to stay on and thank you to the awesome Doodle Pantry DT for their warm welcome!
Well, I better get this posted and get on with my day...I hope your Sunday is a blessed one and that you have fun in whatever you do today. Thank you for stopping by!

HUGS!
