On Monday my friend Bonnie inspired me to take another look at my embossing folders - thanks again my friend! TODAY, I was inspired to make a few Christmas cards based on the incredibly cute cards created by my friend Marcia! What in the world would I do without you girls?
I have had a self-imposed moratorium on buying for the last month, but when I found this Penny Black trio of carolers on sale it was time to hit the pause button - I've been searching for this Sing Joy set for a very long time, and it looks like I got the last one from Scrapbook.com's clearance section... see! I think it was serendipity!
Are you ready? You'll see how Marcia influenced my card bases with her lovely, embossed panels... I pushed myself to explore some unusual Copic color combos:
Of course, I HAD TO sneak in a little grey for the guys!
This combo with lavender made my heart sing...
My sentiments were found in several sets - perfect lines from some
of our favorite Christmas carols are perfect for these little elves!
Yes, you caught me - there is a NEW frame premiering here today:
Penny Black's Classy Frames to be exact.
I took a chance on creating some snowy twilight scenes on my cards today... I'm no Sandy Allnock believe me, but the simpler the better is best for me.
Okay, one more - the gang had to get together for one more song:
My friend Therese suggested we look over our stamp sets for little accents - I found just the right sized stars/snowflakes/musical notes for this little mini-slimline scene! Thanks, Therese!
Thanks so much to my wonderful, talented friends - and YOU TOO for stopping by today!
