I love this time of year, prepping for Christmas, getting lots of cards done, and pretty soon I will start decorating my home :) cant wait!

 My sentiment is from The Project Bin called Luke 2!

The flowers and branches were created using Cheery Lynn dies, the flowers are Tea Rose Small, and the branched are B216 Wreath Strip,and I did add some vintage pearls to the centers. This paper is absolutely beautiful and makes for a beautiful Christmas card.

 Tags were made using Cheery Lynns Pierced Stacker #2 XL-20 dies. I also used the Oval dies called Oval Classic SM Silver Stacker Layers 8 dies M-7. The design papers I chose are from American Crafts On the left is the Pebbles collection, and on the right is Bundled Up from AC Crate Paper line. LOVE both of these, and how they go so well with the ribbons. These tags are super fun to create! I also added some Poinsettia's and those were created with Cheery Lynn Designs Poinsettia Strip.

Shy Bears Harvest Time!



Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all! Today I have a super fun Harvest card I created for I Brake for Stamps. I chose for this card to use this DARLING "Harvest Shy Bear", isn't he just too cute??!!!! I LOVE these bears, and I Brake for stamps has a large collection of them.


I love this time of year, as all the leaves on the trees are changing and of course now we are loosing them all, but  it looks so beautiful. I hate to see it all leave, then we will have ugly upon us until snow comes. I have to say though summer is my favorite, and then Fall! So when I colored him up (Harvest Shy Bear)I chose to use some fall colors and then some blue. I LOVE the blue on this one! The paper line I chose for this is an old one called Autumn Harvest by Bazzill.

 I also added a tad bit of stickles to the leaves as I wanted some glitz to my image.

I also made a BIG bow using Really Reasonable Ribbon for my card today, they are leftover ribbons :) I did add a cabochon to the center of my bow.

For the Frames I used Cheery Lynn Design Dies Pierced Stacker #3 XL-21

Im trying to get done some Christmas cards so I can hand them out this year. Not sure if I will get too many mailed out. But I do like to give some in person.

 For my Shy Bear, I colored him in copics, isn't he just the sweetest??!!! I love this one, and had fun coloring up the holly and berries too. For the santa cap, I used some stickles on the part that is white to give a little glitz.

Each layer has sewing on it. I did use some Christmas design paper from American Crafts. I also added a big big bow made using Really Reasonable Ribbon Plaid Ribbon, and some gold Bead Berry spray.
