Christmas is gone for another year...  Hope everyone enjoyed the day celebrating with loved ones and catching up with friends and family.

For the challenge #78 over at http://waltzingmousesketchchallenge.blogspot.com/  I decided to make a card using  the Quater Note and George and Basic shapes cartridges, very old Hampton Arts music stamp, even older star punch, K-ology stickers TO GO, left over scrap from the My mind's Eye - Summer Song stack, Memento black ink and SU cardstock, dazzling diamonds, ds paper.  I used dimensional tape to give the sax player a bit of a lift too.

Commissioned Portrait

Hi everyone,

Thought I'd share commissioned painting that I finally finished just in time for their Chrissy present.  It's taken me 6 months from start to finish to complete this.  Lol it took me a cpl of months before I started with the first coat of paint.  The fear of that first brush stroke is quite daunting really, especially when you know the ppl.  Luckily they love the style of painting I do.  With a dozen or more coats of paint and millions of changes I had to decide when to stop otherwise your forever seeing things that you can work on....

The size of the painting is 1.5m high x 1.2m wide.  I was happy to finally see it go .  It was just huge and took up the whole room....

Hope everyone spent the day celebrating with family and friends.  Peace and good will to one and all.

Hey everyone,
Can't believe Chrissy is just around the corner.

I used mainly Kaiser  rub ons for this, SU ds paper, Making Memories alphabet and peel on stickers.

Bag and Boxes

Good morning everyone,

Not long now till Christmas day.  Haven't done a lot of challenges these last couple of weeks.  Time seems to fly by, but I got the Cricut out and managed to cut these cute boxes and bags from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge using My Mind's Eye cardstock.  What lady doesn't like cute bags and boxes...

Here's an idea, you can even use them for tree deckies if you like.  How easy would it be to co-ordinate colour and theme without looking for that perfect ornament and you'd have a one of a kind tree...  :D
I've only cut these cute pieces out large enough to hold some mini chocolates/sweeties to give to the ladies I have coffee with every week.
