Bear with Apples

 Well my good friend Carol explained to me how to make a diamond point card because she is soooo talented and she wins so many challenges. So I just had to try it out. I pulled out an image that I had colored in my stash from Torico when she used to sell her own digital images.  I had this printed so long ago that I don't even know the name of the image.  I was able to find a few die cuts and an apple Martha Stewart punch, and voila.

It's time for mistletoe & holly

Well it's October 1st already so Imagine That has a new DOTM.  I do say that I am partial to this one since I have three Siamese cats.  This wonderful stamp is called Mistletoe Kitty.  For my card, I naturally colored it to look like a Siamese.  The sentiment is from TLC.  I made this card as a diamond card which is very simple to do.  I added Liquid Pearls to the brim of the hat which doesn't show well in the photo. I put a snowball bling on the tip on the hat and a bell on the collar with a glue dot.  I cut a doily circle in half to add to each side and put the sentiment on the right side with a mistletoe die cut.  You can buy the image at the store discounted  for $2.50 and then if you enter a card in the challenge you will get the November DOTM free.  If you purchase $10 from the store, you can get the image free by entering MISTLETOE. It will be great to see what you create.
