Happy Birthday Jevin!

This card was made for my Great Grandson Jevin's birthday.  He was 2 on Dec. 24th.  This year he celebrated on Christmas Eve with all of us but as he gets older he will have an earlier celebration so he can have a birthday party with his little friends.  It is a Mo Manning image and I do love all of her art.

Merry Christmas to all my family and friends.  I wish you all a great day with your families.  I want all of you to know how much I appreciate your wonderful comments on my blog.  They mean so much to me and are always so encouraging.  When I visit your blogs I am always inspired.

This card was made for one of my friends that loves cats.

This was a card for one of my Grandkids, not sure who right now.

Again, Merry Christmas everyone!

Elvis Christmas!

Elvis was stamped in Blue Denim and finished in silver and white.  One of my Granddaughters gets upset if I don't make her an Elvis Christmas card.  This is for Nickie.  I was a big Elvis fan growing up and when the Grandkids came along the oldest ones had to listen to Elvis music so they also became fans.  This image and all of my Elvis images came from Cornish Heritage Farms.

Let it Snow!

I love this Northwoods stamp.  I am sure one of my Grandsons will receive this card.   I used Barely Mine Chrismas Dreams papers I think.  I know they are papers I printed.  The snowflakes are dies and cut on sparkly papers and have added lots of glitter around the snowman.
