Ralphie's Brother What's His Face


For the life of me, I cannot remember Ralphie's kid brother's name in A Christmas Story.  Georgie This little boy reminds me of him all bundled up to stay warm and cozy although when I was a kid I remember a much higher tolerance for the cold than I do now, that's for sure!

Penguin Warm My Heart


I made a few winter cards rather than holiday cards assuming that I would be late in getting my cards in the mail, especially for my international friends. Had to make more. Can I call it or what? LOL.

I used my Copic airbrush for the masked off background--little Aurora Borealis action going on there. Copics to color, of course. So cute!

Merry and Bright Floral


I found the HA background stamp embossed onto a card front in my someday pile--can't even remember what I had intended for it back in the day. A little pink and red and green with a touch of blue and gold--new life as a holiday card! So based on the current The Heart Desires Challenge inspiration photo.

Happy holidays to you and yours!
