A Cutie Pie of a Witch.

Hello dear friends: I hope you and your families are still doing well, I also hope you are fully vaccinated, I believe this is the only way to defeat this virus, we need to show IT who is boss!!

Ok, I'm here with a little reminder card for the fun and fabulous 2 OLD BATS HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE.

This is our Inspiration Board.

Here is my card.

This adorable image is from Lili of the Valley, (retired), I figured since I created a really scary WITCH on that post, this time I will go for this cutie pie, seems to me that this pair of friends are going Trick or Treating, how sweet is that?

*************************************************

This is the INSIDE.

This is what I used.

The image is from Lily of the Valley, retired, called "Halloween".

Pattern paper and ribbon from my stash.

The punched "Boo" might be from Fiskars, not sure.

Prismacolor pencils.

The inside sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called

"Dark and Dreary" (2010)

So I hope you find some time to come and play with us at 2 OLD BATS HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE.

Creating Halloween cards in June is fun.

For more inspiration, hop over the challenge blog and check out my teammates' awesome cards, then join us in our gallery.

Stay healthy and safe.

A Very Beary Christmas.

 Hello everyone: Every day I pray that you and your families are doing ok in these very difficult times. I hope you are keeping safe and healthy and also, please wear your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I decided to create a little Christmas card using my stash of uncolored images.

This image is from Lili of the Valley, I have it in plain rubber from years ago, all the papers are also from this company but they are all retired, so sad.

I stamped the image on Canson Mixed Media paper with Stazon black ink and colored it with Prismacolor pencils, I added some gold details and lots of glitter.

********************************************************

This is the INSIDE. 

The sentiment and the snowflakes are from Power Poppy set called "Snow Kissed"

I'm playing along with these challenges.

Getting Ready.............

Hello everyone: I just discovered the Festive Friday Challenge and I made this card to play along.

I haven't played with this sweet Faeries from Lili of the Valley, I absolutely love them, I wish I had them all. 

This sweet one is getting ready for Spring or maybe, to go out with friends, but whatever the occasion, she looks so adorable, I do hope you can see the Wink of Stella on her wings and the puff in her hand as she totally pampers herself.

Stamped her on a piece of Strathmore Bristol paper, I should have done it on regular card stock just to be able to fussy cut her easily, thank goodness for my sharp scissors.  I colored her with my Prismacolor pencils.

The pattern paper is from Lili of the Valley, (discontinued).

***************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The border was stamped with a retired SU set called "Bordering Blooms", the sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called Tea in the Garden, the butterfly is from a 2004 set from Stampendous called "Butterflies".

I'm playing along with the following challenges.

Let It Snow!!!!!

Hello everyone: We had our first snowfall of the season precisely on Halloween, it was cold and super windy so, needless to say, there were no Trick or Treaters ringing our bell, I guess parents just took the kiddos to the Mall, Sigh!!!😞😞
So we are stuck with lots of our favorite candy bars and we have no other recourse but to eat them, sheeesh!!  I even thought of vacuum pack all of these bags to see if they would last till next Halloween but, it's more fun to enjoy them.
Anywho, the theme for this next 10 days over at SHOPPING OUR STASH is "SNOWFLAKES" and here's my card.

This image is from Lili of the Valley, stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Prismacolor pencils. The branch is from Memory Box and I think the Snowflakes too.  The sentiment is from an old Flourishes set called"Warm Winter Wishes"

************************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The Snowflakes are from the Flourishes set and the Sentiment from a new Power Poppy set called Snow Kissed.

So I hope you come and play with me and my teammates over at SHOPPING OUR STASH, we can't wait to see your Snow Flake creations.

I'm playing along with the following challenges.
