ATSM #481 - Make Your Mark


For the Addicted to Stamps and More #481 Make Your Mark Challenge, I colored up a humorous holiday card.  Have you been a naughty bird?


I certainly have so it's a good thing I generally buy my own presents--LOL.

Coffee Cup Card, Winter Take 2


I thought I would do a different take on my card the other day.  What a difference a change in paper makes!  I’m also quite pleased with the sentiment placement which took me a couple of tries.  It helps to have the reading glasses on, let me tell ya.

Nordic Bear Christmas Card


I ran across this piece of designer paper as I was neatening up my craft space and thought it would look so cute with the Poppy Stamps Nordic Bundled Bear.  I made this for the ladies who live across the street and thus created coordinating bears.
