MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Before I show you today's cards, I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone that has followed my 25 Days of Christmas. I appreciate your taking the time to look and comment. I'm hoping that I can keep up the daily posting next year!

First up is a reindeer card, one of my favorite things about Christmas. I got the image from my friend Sandy, not sure of who makes it. I think I need to find out because I really like it and would love to use it over and over. I did use a sketch...don't know where the notes went, if I find them, I'll edit the post. And look, no DCWV paper on this one! Its from SEI's Christmas line this year, its so pretty!


And lastly, it wouldn't be Christmas without a Santa Claus card. I got this image from the round robin that I hosted over the summer. It turned out a little funky when I added the stickles to the beard and hat LOL. Paper is DCWV of course. I should own stock in this company!


I hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas my friends! I enjoyed a nice day with family, long but fun! Tomorrow Mom and I are hitting the mall for some After Christmas deals! Tomorrow I'll share a few of my favorite gifts!

On the 24th Day of Christmas...

I have 3 cards to share with you all today. These are the cards that I made for my co-workers (or as I like to call them "my boys"). I used Splitcoast sketches for them but unfortunately I left my notes home and I'm hanging out with my sister for the night. I also have to apologize for not cropping the pictures, for the life of me I can't figure out how to in the Paint program even after visiting the help section.

On to the cards:

I had fun with this card. I decided to break out the fun flock for the first time. I used a Quickie Glue Pen to apply it, most of it stuck but I did end up with a lot on the desk and inevitably me LOL, it really does look cool though and I will be using it again...think I might need to get more colors too!

Stamps: Owl (Hero Arts)

Paper: DCWV

Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento)

Accessories: brads & eyelets (unknown), Marvy punches, primsacolor pencils, fun flock

Another House Mouse card - I bought this stamp at Creative Play Stamps, great prices & service!

Stamps: House Mouse

Paper: DCWV

Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Bravo Burgundy (Stampin Up)

Accessories: prismacolor pencils, copic spica pen, eyelet (unknown)

I got this cute moose by Rachelle Anne Miller at Sweet N Sassy Stamps. I also got some cool SNSS Christmas sets but I didn't have the time to use them.

Sorry for the funky spacing issues...using IE instead of my Firefox and I can't figure out the glitch! Its driving me batty. LOL

TFL!

On the 23rd Day of Christmas...

its technically the 24th...but I didn't forget to post yesterday, I swear! I got home very late and for some reason the modem wasn't on, its not mine and I can't figure out why it wouldn't work. So please forgive me! Thank goodness for the back dating feature so I can make this the 23rd LOL!

Here is the last Christmas Fluffles of the season...I got this image from my friend Pat. I absolutely love this one. I can so see my friend's cat doing this so I had to send her one of these cards. I used another Splitcoast sketch - SC79. As you can see, I just love my Stickles - I used 5 different ones on the tree but I didn't make a list....whoops!

Today's card is a House Mouse. Its an old Stampa Rosa HM that I bought on ebay. I love how it turned out. Glossy Accents was my friend for making this batch of cards lol. I used another Splitcoast Stampers sketch - SC120.

I had a good mail day today, got lots of cards from my friends AND my bella order! Woohoo!! I won a $15 gift certificate back in September on Jen Del Muro's site and I finally used it during the Bella Anniversary sale. I got some extra goodies for placing an order during this time - 4 jars of some embellies that I've never seen before and 4 mini bellas! They will be neat on my scrappy pages!

TFL!

On the 21st Day of Christmas...

I'm making a little progress! 2 handmade gifts down, 1 to go! I'll share in a separate post once I download and edit the pictures.

Today's card is another Fluffles from my friend Sandy. I made a few of them and one will go to my little brother and my little sister LOL! I used a splitcoast sketch - SC129 which you can see HERE.

On the 20th Day of Christmas...

I almost forgot to post! LOL

I blogged so much earlier that I took and break and then completely forgot about my daily card!

The image used is a House Mouse that I got from the image swap that I hosted. This card is for my boyfriend's parents and I think it turned out awesome! And for those that don't know...the top to the Glossy Accents comes off, I learned that lesson the hard (and messy) way! LOL!!


Here is a close up of the candle & marshmallow - I had fun shading it to make it look "toasted". You can slightly see the shine on the candle holder. It looks cool IRL.

Paper: DCWV
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Handsome Hunter (Stampin Up)
