Valentine cards

Good morning all!

I haven't been in much of a crafty mood for a while now. 

However, yesterday I was in the mood. 

So.....

I grabbed some digi images from

My Artistic Adventures Etsy

and made a couple of cards.

Here they are.....

Everything, other than the background papers, is from 

My Artistic Adventures

I love them all but,

how cute are those cupcakes?

For this card, 

the hearts were cut with a couple of stitched hearts dies

and the cupcakes were fussy cut.

I added glossy accents to the hearts, eyes & teacup.

I fussy cut the hearts here as well as the cupcakes. 

I went with the addition of 

Spectrum Noir Sparkle to the roses, eyes & hearts for this card.

Here is a link to all of the

  Valentine's digi's.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stay warm!

Merry Christmas

Hi folks!

Just popping in to share a tag I made this morning

Is it wrong to be so pleased with myself?

I tend to fear too many layers and usually play it safe but I really had fun adding pieces to this!

As I type I'm even thinking of other things to add!

Maybe it's the season!

Here is a list of things I used to make this...

Click on these images to take you to the Etsy store for purchase.

The tags I had printed but needed them smaller to fit inside the mitten so I cut it down.

I added some Nuvo glitter drops 

and some liquid pearls in rouge.

Also, a small brad, die cut pine needles and twine.

Hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday season!

Snowmen Ornaments

   Hello everyone!

Yesterday I spent most of my day painting these little canvases! 

    I made one for each grandchild,

including the one whose arrival will be a couple months after Christmas.

I bought these little canvases ages ago with the intention of doing these

but time goes on and the mind just goes!

Forgotten no longer!

I'm really pleased how my mountains came out in this one.

I was not so sure about that decision for a while there!

I enjoy painting like this,

when it all works the way I want it to or cuter!

This guy above has a wonky mouth but he's still a cutie!

The background on this one below looks a bit greyish but it's really more of a greenish.

It's prettier in real life!

I like this one below.

Heart in hands

and the floating string of lights! 

This one threw up his hands to say

"Hooray, Christmas is coming!"

And here they all are together.

(you can click on the image below to enlarge it)

The long ones are 2 x 3 inches and the squares are 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches.

I added a loopy bit to the tops for hanging.

Now they are all ready to be sent to their new homes!

Thanks for stopping by!

I always enjoy the company!
