Sending cozy holiday wishes your way

I colored this wonderful image from Sasayaki Glitter which is for the Progressive Challenge so hopefully I can link it up correctly this time.  The sentiment is from TLC.  I used a masking pen to cover the snowflakes so I could color the sky.  I am just loving this Molotow pen and don't know how I survived without it.  I have a few more cards to post today, but I feel like I have to get out of the house....while I can.  Between today and tomorrow we are predicted to get 7-10 inches of snow.  So I have a few errands to run while I can and the roads are able to be driven on.  Everyone on this hemisphere stay warm and safe.

Have a cup of Joy

I can't believe that it is the Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop, already since it just seems like the Fall one was just here.  Julee at Verve was so gracious to be a Super Sponsor and she has some freebie digital stamps.  For my card, I used the image and sentiment for this new set, eek I'm just so excited.

Good at being Naughty

Well, I did it! I did all 7 days of the Catch the Bug Challenge.  Here is my card for Day 7 using the freebie from last week along with this fun sentiment from TLC.  I have quite a stash of Christmas cards, but I use quite a few since I need to start sending the 50-60 that I send out each year.  That is why it helps to work on them throughout the year.

Wishing you a Melodic Christmas and a Harmonic New Year

Here is another Z Box Fold Card that I made using both TLC image and sentiment.  This layout is so easy to make and I just like the way it pops.  I just adore the vintage image from TLC and had to use it with these non-traditional papers from the Sweet Shoppe.  I usually have several bunnies hopping around in my yard throughout the year.  So this looks natural to me.

Let it snow circle tag

For my card today I used the image Let it snow tag and you were to use old paper from your stash instead I embossed the background with a folder that I don't know if I ever used, but I've had it for a long time so I wanted to use that instead since I really wanted a white background.  I also added a shaker box to look like a present with some snowflakes that I got from Target a couple years ago.  I kept it simple.

Never too grown up

I almost forgot to post the last card I had for the new release for Imagine That Digistamp which is unfortunate because this is my favorite card.  It is using, Raymond's Reindeer Friend, and has a sentiment from TLC.  For this card I embossed a cloud sky background and using a die for the snowhill.  I used a wonderful product to mask the snow from Molotow.
