Christmas Penguin

     My puter is back home.  He couldn't find anything wrong with it so I guess it was playing a trick on me.  NOT funny!  So now I get to take back the spanking new (expensive) tower I purchased just in case he told me it was dead.  I didn't even take it out of the box.  I was kind of disappointed that I wasn't getting a new toy, but I sure don't mind not having to pay that bill now.  LOL

     So today I am sharing another Art Impressions card that I created with my Prismas.  Sorry for the yellow look of this photo.  Don't know what happened there.  The diagonal piece is actually an olive green color although it looks brown.

     Are you ready for December?......cause here it comes!!!!

     Be blessed!

Sitting Bears

     Well, my poor old puter  refused to work right this morning so it's at the puter doctor.  It's getting pretty old so I'll probably be buying a new one soon.  Maybe  I can find a good Christmas deal.  Anyway, I'm doing this post on my Kindle which is a little difficult so if anything looks funny that's why.

     I told you I would be sharing some more Art Impressions creations with you.  These are the Sitting Polars.  I stamped them and colored them with Prismacolor pencils.  Then they were fussy cut.  The background was created  with Distress inks and then splattered with white acrylic paint.  Super fun to do and you'll be seeing that sky on others cards.

     Hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving.

The Clauses

     I have been fighting my yearly nasty winter cold for the past week and a half.  I would say it was the flu but I didn't have the body aches.  Regardless I was miserable and I'm still hacking.  Grrr.  Sooo........while I was feeling under the weather and it seemed as though being upright and still kept the cough at bay some I decided to play some more with my Prismacolor pencils.  I added a few more to round out my collection a bit, especially in the grays.

     I've said it before and I will say it again.  My stamp stash is ridiculous.  LOL  I stamped off a bunch of the wonderful Art Impressions Christmas images that I hadn't managed to get inked up before and went to work coloring.

     This is actually one of the newer sets and is called Twinkle in a Tangle.  I still need LOTS of practice with pencils but they sure are fun and relaxing.  Wish you could see the Glossy Accents I added to the lights.

     I've used the Freshly Made Sketches current sketch challenge to create the card.
     I'll be sharing some more AI creations with you soon.
     Be blessed!

Paper--Lily Bee Design "Jingle", Bazzill, Recollections

Warmest wishes

     It's Bellarific Friday so I'm sharing the card I created for last week's challenge.  This is Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl Quinn in her boots.

     I pulled out a Heidi Swapp stencil to add some snow with modeling paste and a little glitter.  Then I pulled out one of the oldest tools I own, an eyelet setter, and added a couple of eyelets to the sentiment banner.  Don't see those used too much any more do ya?  Her hat has some Liquid Applique puffed up for the rim and tassle and I covered all her buttons with Glossy Accents.
