It's Snowing!

Snow day fun for me doesn't involve being out in the snow, but hiding inside while I watch the snow fall.  I don't particularly like winter, but watching the snow fall while coloring made it tolerable.

Colored on two new digi stamps available at Some Odd Girl, Blankie Tobie and Tia Bear.  I'm determined to get better with blending and control with my pencils.  This time I used a Comic Manga Illustration paper which has a lot of tooth.  Maybe too much?  It's hard to know when I'm so used to the slick X-Press It paper.  I love blending with pencils, maybe more than with Copics, which is amazing because I never thought I'd find something I liked better.

Christmas Mice!

I adore this little mouse stamp set, Let's Mingle, from The Greeting Farm.  I actually colored them a while ago and am just getting around to make a gift tag with them.  I knew I wanted to have them with a Christmas tree, I just wasn't sure how I'd work them together.  Then it came to be that they should be peeking out of the tree.

I really like to create tags since they are so easy to hang on a gift bag.  I'm a gift bag kinda girl, I hate gift wrapping!

I'm entering this into the Farm Fresh Challenge 'Sparkle' at The Greeting Farm.  It was a challenge to get the glitter to actually show in the picture but TA-DAH it does.

Surprise! there's a PIG inside!

Time for a gate fold card with a PIG inside!  Once again, I was merging digi stamps and created this bespectacled pig wearing a winter hat. OINK!
