Winter Wonderland in Blue!

This card is so pretty and fresh ~ goes well with the sub-zero temps we have here following our blizzard! This is one more Emma and the Chickadee image from Fred, She Said Digital Designs! It is a pre-colored image....so of course when I print out the sheet of four....it's just so easy to whip up a card! This one took me about 10 minutes!

Other items on this card include:
~Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch
~Dress It Up! Glitter Dots
~Nestabilities Fancy Tags

Exhausted Blitzen

This image makes me giggle! Sometimes you just have one of those days....and today was one for me....couldn't wake UP!

Exhausted Blitzen and Seasons Greetings are by Stamp Shoppe Creations. I colored the image with Copic Markers. I used a strip of a Cuttlebug's Seasons Greetings Embossing folder to add some snowflakes. Designer Paper is by Imaginisce and is the Polar Expressions line. Flower is by Making Memories.


Digital Tuesday 36 ~ Winter Wonderland


Today's Digital Tuesday Challenge Blog Challenge is Lorraine's....Christmas Song. We were to make a card based on a christmas carol or psalm. Our sponsor is Digital Stamp Oasis who is offering 5 free digis to a randomly selected challenge participant....so be sure you check out the challenge blog for what you need to do!!

I chose Winter Wonderland as my carol which I distressed with Tim Holtz Faded Jeans and Broken China inks. I used Winter Emma and the Chickadee from Fred, She Said Digital Designs. This is a pre-colored image...and it is so beautiful! I cut the image out and popped it up on foam tape.

Several SU! products include cardstock, designer paper and photo corner punch. I used Cuttlebug's Textile Embossing Folder on the photo corner. Swirls are Sizzix Scribbles Swirls. The snowflakes are Nestabilities Create A Flake One and is new to me....I'm in love!

Two Of My Favorite Things

Two of my favorite things....Fred, She Said Digital Designs and The Rubber Cafe! ....snowflakes and glitter! ....copics and cuttlebug!

This card uses a freebie from Fred, She Said Digital Designs, but be sure to check out all of her new images too....they are so sweet! I colored the snowflake with Copic Markers.

The glitter and acetate border is a fun new stamp from The Rubber Cafe! I've been on a roll with glitter and acetate lately, but it's just so much fun with snowflake images! Melissa has a fun winter collection just out too....I just had to use another lab....isn't he fun?!
