 So sorry the weather wasn't conducive to photographing cards yesterday.  Here are the cards we made at Joyce's CTMH card class on Tuesday.

Scroll down to the post below to see the wonderful CTMH creations in this month's Joyful Stars Blog Hop.

Happy New Year!

Would you believe I made my first card of the new year sitting in the closet?

That's where I stashed my limited crafting supplies when we arrived at this beautiful January vacation home in The Villages, Florida, just 2 days ago.  It's actually a fairly big walk-in closet with lighting.

Eventually, I'll find another more appropriate spot to make a few cards while we are here.  It's just that I haven't gotten ink on my fingers for several days, or added a post to my blog, and I wasn't waiting any longer for either.

Thought I'd use the white picket fence out front for photo taking.

 Here's a closer look at the card.

The digi image, Have a Mice 2016, (quickly printed before we left home) is by Gerda Steiner, and it is currently free.

I used Promarkers to color it; a CTMH stamp for the sentiment; CTMH fundamental papers and accessory.

I am submitting this card to.....

Day #20 + CTMH Cards Class 11/17/15

After viewing this post, I suggest you hop over to Beccy's Place to see how beautiful her Negative Coloring is.  Mine is not the best, but okay for my first attempt.  Well, to be honest, this is actually my 5th attempt.  The first 3 were cardinals, now in the trash.  And then I switched to this pine bough stamp, and the first one also is in the trash.  I probably need a different type of white pencil and definitely a lot more practice.  This is my card for Day #20 of Beccy's Month of Holiday Cards using Negative Coloring:

(Stamps are from Sparkle n Sprinkle)

***********

There was no sun at all here yesterday.  Today looks like we'll have plenty.   It's a much better day to photograph and show you the CTMH cards we made on Tuesday at Joyce's.  

This last card features the November SOTM set.  I already put in my order because the stamps will also be useful for graduation cards this spring and other congratulatory occasions.

Lots to do today.  

I sure hope the theme for Day #21 at Beccy's Month of Holiday Cards is a simple one!

 

Happy New Year! 2015!

My thanks to Gerde Steiner Designs for this adorable bear with balloons digi to help celebrate the New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Mojo Monday #377

With Christmas just days away, we'll all be celebrating the New Year shortly thereafter.  They say, and I have no idea who 'they' are, that whatever you do on New Year's Day you'll be doing all year.  I generally clean the old condiments out of the refrigerator. 
  But once a year is enough of that!

Using the January stamp from a CTMH calendar set, here is today's Mojo Monday card.

I am submitting this card to these challenges:
Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #377:

Digi Sketch December 22nd Challenge - Winter Snowflakes
Love to Create Challenge #147 - Icy Winter Days

It would be wonderful if you could stop by the Pumpkin Spice blog and vote for the card I entered in their Blue & White challenge.  Thank you!!

Hap-bee New Year

Blue Moon Creations sponsored a challenge not too long ago and I was fortunate enough to win one of their digis.  Since I have no New Year's stamps, I picked this little bee.  He's been colored with pencils; his hat with markers; and his wings covered in glitter glue.

The fun celebration paper was a freebie in my December Quick Cards magazine.  I ran it through a honeycomb embossing folder by Darice.  And finally I added some washi tapes both on the front and inside. 

I'll be submitting this to the following challenges:
Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge #192 - Happy New Year
