Let the Christmas Holiday begin!

our current challenge is
GET FESTIVE!
I chose to use one of my favorite Stampendous images.
He was originally released for Halloween, but serves nicely as a Christmas owl
when you add snow and a touch of holiday red! 
 
 
I was away from my computer when I colored this image, so I wasn't as secure about the
colors as I would have been had I Googled owls.
 
 
Colored with Copics, I love the pop of red on his belted top hat and bowtie!
 
 
The snow on the branches is a bit difficult to see in the photo,
but gives texture and dimension on the card IRL!  :)
 
 
This is how the easel card will appear in the 6 x 6 envelope when I mail it out.
Papers used were DCWV, several of their 6 x 6 stacks of glitters and foils!
 
Please check out the new challenge at Stampin' for the Weekend!
And please leave a comment so I know you stopped by!
I love the company!

Celebrating Fall with Bugaboo!

This upcoming challenge at Stampin' for the Weekend
is all about Fall!

My grandson very recently became a BIG brother,
and I know that a lot of attention is going to the new baby!

 
I thought this card would be a great way to remind him
 that Grandma has not
forgotten her "used-to-be-little", big boy!
We are also celebrating his making the
"Principal's List" 
(apparently that's a good thing!)
 
 
Using Bugaboo "BB Bratz Ruler Boy" image.
 
 
I popped up the little guy so he sits comfortably on the ruler.
The sentiment is an old rub-on from my stash.
 
If I stick this in the mail today,
he will have it before I see him again!
He loves getting mail!
 
Thanks for joining us at Stampin' For the Weekend!
If you haven't seen them, check out what the rest of the design team has put together for Fall!
And now on to our upcoming challenge; the theme is Fall colors . sponsored by
Bugaboo
and
