Fresh Baked...

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm sharing this adorable image called Fresh Baked from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  Boy oh boy does this bring back memories of my Mom making Christmas cookies & the wonderful smell all throughout the house.  Baking is so synonymous with Christmas isn't it?

I paired this image with the sentiment From All of Us...I thought it was perfect for this card.

When my friend went to Holland a couple of years ago she brought me back the most beautiful patterned paper.  The cool thing about this particular pad is that it is 12" x 6" and as thick as cardstock, perfect for a card base.  I can't say that I have ever made a card base out of patterned paper.  Because the patterned paper has gold on it I chose some Brushed Gold cardstock from SU that I have been hording for years.  I rarely use traditional colors for Christmas cards but this all worked out so well & I'm quite pleased.

Snowy Couple love....

 Hi Everyone,

Today I'm sharing some love with Snowy Couple from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  This adorable couple is part of the "Christmas In July" release.

I paired these cuties with the sentiment "Christmas Joy" which I thought was perfect for this image.  I chose some pretty bold rich paper from Bo Bunny's older Altitude collection.

Skiing Snowman

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm sharing this adorable Skiing Snowman from High Hopes Rubber Stamps "Christmas In July" release.  This little guy reminds me of myself.  Why you ask?  Well when my brother & I were teenagers we went skiing with some friends.  Now I thought this adventure would be soooo much fun and I thought how hard could it be?  Well how wrong I was!  I spent the day falling from the top of the hill all the way to the bottom.  My brother meanwhile looked like he had been skiing his whole life.  So needless to say it was not something I ever did again.  I know I shouldn't have given up BUT not only was my right leg & hip bruised for weeks so was my ego lol!

I paired this cutie with the Freezin' Season sentiment.  My plan is to send this card off to my brother this year...I'm sure he will get quite the kick out of it.

Snowman Snowball

Hi everyone,

I can't believe I haven't posted since May....WOW that just blew me away!  It appears I do a lot more coloring than getting my cards made.  I suppose that's why stash of colored images is crazy big.  I need to change that because it's July & I have a bucket load of cards to get done.

Over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps we are celebrating "Christmas In July".  I colored up this adorable image called Snowman Snowball for the website and just couldn't resist getting a card done with this cutie today.  When you get an idea in your mind you have to run with it right?!  I paired this image with the High Hopes sentiment called Cozy Season.

I pulled out an older Bo Bunny pad called Powder Mountain.  I have wanted to use the pinecone paper for a long time but didn't quite have an image that spoke to me...this one was a good match.  I remember when I was little my brothers & I would go tobogganing & I would run around collecting up all the pinecones I could find from under the pine trees.  It was like a treasure hunt for me to find them buried in the snow.  I always carted them all home for my Mom...don't think she really wanted them but she took them anyway lol.
