merry everything

If you're like me, you might be still trying to sneak in a few more Christmas cards.   I can't get enough of the adorable Christmas images released earlier this year from Stampavie.  I keep pulling them out to make more cards.  For the card I'm sharing today, I used Penny Johnson's adorable Snowy Cuddles image.  I love snowmen and this is such a cute image!

I paired the image with some patterned papers from October Afternoon's Good Cheer line.  (Love these papers!  I think I need more.  lol)  I colored the image with copic markers that coordinate with my patterned papers.

I used these colors to color my image:  R30, R32, R29, R46, R89, YG17, G28, C1, C3, W3, W5, W7, W9, YR12, YR14, YR18, B000, B01.  Then, I added lots of stitching to my image and patterned papers.  I added some Glossy Accents on the holly berries, flock on the snowlady's hat, and flower soft beneath the snowmen.  I finished off my card with some poinsettias from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiment is from Catslife Press.

The kids and I are baking Christmas cookies today (Friday by the time you read this post).  I am so behind on so many things, but baking cookies and frosting them together is a tradition that we all love.  So, I will be behind a little more, but my kids and I are making memories that we will all cherish and that is what is important.

Have a wonderful weekend!

This is so cute, those snowmen (snowpeople?) are adorable, one of the cutest images I've seen. I'm way behind this year & don't seem to care much, lol. I made the cookies that I make every year ---my kids favorites --so if I don't make anymore oh well! Enjoy your day with the kids!!

This card is adorable. "Being" with your kids and making memories is much more important than being behind. Have a great time baking.
