Happy Birthday Sweet' N Sassy

I am so excited to share this card with you.

This is a beautiful digital image that was created by Leah Cornelius and is called December Poinsettia. One thing that I love about digi stamps is that you can make them any size you want to fit your layout.

I wanted to get away from traditional Christmas colors and I had this gorgeous designer paper form Graphic 45's Christmas Past Collection called Let it Snow. It looked so nice with More Mustard, Garden Green and Very Vanilla.

I used Splitcoast's Wednesday sketch challenge SC305 for the layout.

Jude's Christmas Box

Good morning everyone. I am sorry that I haven't posted in a while, I've been feeling under the weather. Today is a beautiful, cold and snowy day. I don't think that it will stick but I love to watch it come down. I am one of those rare people who loves the winter. What can I say, every season has it own beauty, which leads me to this card.

Christmas is fast approaching and I made this card for the little guy that lives across the street. He is such a sweetie and has completely stolen my heart.

This is another fantastic stamp by Mo Manning. She is a freelance author and illustrator of children's books who is a wonderful artist and captures the true nature of childhood. I just love her work! Her images are available in Digital format, Photopolymer clear stamps and in Rubber. Please visit the above companies for her wonderful creations.
