Warm Wishes!!

Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas.  We did, it was wonderful.  Now we just have all this snow.  So what a great inspiration for this cute bear called "Warm Wishes" over at DeeDee's Digis.  I used the Happy Monday Challenge which is a sketch.

                                                                                                                      

I colored my image with Copic markers.  My designer paper is from The Christmas Combo by Die Cut With A View.  I used a Fiskars punch for the cup of cocoa.  I antique linen around the bear and finished with snowflakes and red rhinestones.



Jesus is the Reason!!

Happy Birthday to Jesus!!  We are thankful for all he does for us.  Merry Christmas to you and your family near and far.

I used the image "Touched by Love" by Crissy's Designs over at Whimsy Stamps.  How true the title is, all he has ever done is touch us with his love!!  I colored the humbling image with Copic markers.  I did the best I could with such a gorgeous picture.  My designer paper is "Eskimo Kisses" by Basic Grey.  I used some white lace my sister gave me (I really didn't want it, but I am GLAD she made me take it and try to use it).  The punch is scalloped lace by MS, blue satin ribbon and glitter paper and glitter for her wings.  I added my sentiment by Stampabilities and blue pearls to finish this creation.

It's Darsie here again! Robin got home safely to Minnesota, and tomorrow is the day she gets her cast off and the stitches removed! Here is her card for the Anything Christmas Belli Challenge! She used a JustRite stamp called "Christmas Treasures" for her main image!

Christmas Treat for You...

It's Darsie again! Robin will be getting her stitches taken out on Wednesday, YAY!! She'll finally be without a cast! Then she starts physical therapy for 3 days each week! I don't envy her!

Today is Happy Monday Challenge on the Crafting with Deedee's Digis blog and the challenge today is:

"One of the many wonderful things about the Christmas season is that little bit of extra kindness people tend to share with those around them this time of year. Our challenge to you this week is to share a little bit of extra kindness by making a Christmas card or treat for someone who wouldn't normally be on your list -- a neighbor, postal carrier, school secretary, doorman, etc."

Robin created a darling gift bag and used the digistamp set "Merry Christmouse" from Deedee's Digis!
