Joyful Christmas Angel

 

Happy weekend stampers!  Hope yours will be filled with fun and doing whatever you desire.  I'll be heading out to my mom's in a short while but wanted to post this little angel first.

Doesn't she just look soooo joyful?!?!?  She was one of my 'surprise' stamps from the prize package I received from janlynn.com (see Classic Santa post).  I was so tickled to get her as sometimes I want a stamp that's a little smaller.  She fits that bill perfectly.  Fast and fun!!  I created her for the Colour Create Challenge (blue, silver and white), then found some others to work her into.  I loved this color challenge as I probably wouldn't choose these on my own.  But as you can see from looking at the DT cards, the combo makes beautiful cards.  Mine is not near as elegant as some of theirs, but I still like it.  Wish I'd have had some silver paper to work in, but... ohhhhh I found a quarter sheet of silver paper after I'd completed her!!!  Story of my life!!  heeheehee

The challenges:

1.  Colour Create Challenge - blue, silver and white. 

2.  Creative Card Crew Challenge - doodles

3.  Card Position Systems - sketch

I used some MS glitter for the first time.  Man, what a mess!!!  I used my embossing buddy and everything and it still stuck on my image and just about everything else it touched!  Does anyone have any more knowledge on how to work with this line of glitter?  I love it... beautiful and fine, but I was more glittery after this card than I'd ever been before!!  : )

Gotta run.  Thanks so much for stopping by during your busy schedule!  Come again, 'K?

Classic Santa

Awwwwwwwww... dontcha just love an wonderful classic Santa???  I got this great stamp from a prize package I won -- sponsor, janlynn.com.  Let me tell you something... that is one generous  sponsor!!  The prize was a $50 certificate to janlynn.com (extra great on its own).  Then when my 'order' arrived, there was probably another $50+ of extras I wasn't expecting.  It was just like Christmas!!  This stamp, Jolly Santa by Stamps Happen, was one I selected with my certificate.  Also shipped to me were 3-4 other stamps, a complete Christmas card-making set (papers (red used as my 'matting' color), embellies, etc) and other items!!!  Fun... fun... fun!!!

I colored Santa with classic Christmas red and green.  I went with a white snow embossed background trying to evoke the vision of a white Christmas.  I bought this beautiful ribbon on eBay a few months ago and I just LOVE it.  There are even more beautiful colors than you can see here.  Can't wait to use it again.  : )  Let's see... what else?  The sentiment is computer generated and I glittered up Santa's cap brim.
