Santa's Air Mail

      This morning, I'm sharing a card for another of the Progressive Challenges I play each month and this time the merged images are from Stampers Delights.  I used the image three times, adjusting the sizes so that some would look closer or further away.  Once printed, I cut them as one image.

     Colored with ProMarkers, then both the image and the frame were cut with dies from Tonic Studios.  The white glitter paper is embossed and comes from Doodlebug.  The green CS strip was just scrap.  The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die.  Very CAS for easy mailing.

     I'll have another post this afternoon, after I get photographs taken.  It's been a cloudy, overcast morning, not good for photographing anything but the sun seems to be peeking out now so I'm going to give it a try.  Hope you'll stop by again later.  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

Spring Flowers Just for You

     I was digging through my collection of Penny Black stamps again, doing a clean out and organize of the craft room and supplies.  Ran across these two which I've used many times over the years but not recently (meaning not in the 6 years since I moved from northern California to southern California) and not in combination before.  Here's a more up to date, more my current style, card.

Feline Wisemen

    Yesterday it was canines so today it has to be felines (or I'll never hear the end of it once I'm back home!)

     My friend who stamped and sent the Christmas images to me (to encourage me to keep my promise to myself about doing Christmas cards all year long instead of waiting til November to start on them) knows me so well!   She also shares with me a love of all things feline so she understands the kinds of 'gifts' our fur babies bring to us as a sign of their love and adoration.  See below...  click on the photo for a larger view.

     This one was so very simple to make.  I colored with my watercolor pencils, cut the image into a rectangle, and matted it with 2 more rectangles.  I found the scrap of polka dot dp in my stash of Christmas papers, added it to the front of a lime green card base, and tied two different green ribbons around the card front.  I added three metal brads, layered on the image, and pronounced it DONE!  Including the coloring, it took less than 30 minutes.
