Sweet Holiday Wishes

I haven't done much posting, because I have been cleaning my house which I really have neglected for quite some time. I always had an excuse, work, design teams and I just needed to get it done. Now that I have been working from home, it was driving me crazy to have my office be the only clean area. I found cards that I started and just never finished and here is one of them. I had this pre-colored image from Paper Shelter and had some liquid pearls on it. So I put it together with some papers I embossed and distressed and a left over piece of Christmas paper that I don't even know who the maker is and now this is how I feel after doing my cleaning, lol.

Christmas Chickadees

I like to get several Christmas cards done each month so that I don't have to scramble at the end of the year. I found in my stash that I had printed a free picture quite some time ago of these beautiful Chickadees and had this evergreen scrap of paper I don't know the maker of either of them. I embossed a woodgrain background and die cut a pine cone with glitter and liquid pearl. I didn't add a sentiment since I was trying to keep it simple and peaceful.

Dear Santa I need more

I colored this digital stamp from Whimsy Classic Santa and had it sitting on a pile so I thought I would put it together. I used a sentiment from TLC, Create that I thought was appropriate given the size of his bag, lol.

Happy Birthday from the gang

This card I made for my supervisor who is taking the week of her birthday off because she is celebrating a special decade....just want a good review so I didn't want to mention it. Added some Stickles and Liquid Pearls for sparkle and shine. Also did some paper piecing which I haven't done in quite sometime.

Pinecone Deer

Well, I had a sinus CT last week and it shows that my entire right sinus is opacified and occluded.  So the note from my MD is that this will absolutely affect your breathing. So she isn't surprised that I am having panic attacks about feeling like I can't breathe. I have an appointment to see ENT on December 19th and my doctor is hoping that I will get some suggestions from that. Now on top of that I got a cold with a cough and laryngitis.  So I really feel rotten.  I am hoping to get some relief soon.
I needed to make a masculine card so I used a Sizzix die cut and added some embossing powder to it.  I cut some pine cut dies and put Liquid Pearl on it and Glitter on top.  I heat embossed the sentiment in the corner.
