Deer Friend Card

Originally I had intended to make a Christmas card with this adorable little reindeer but I decided it was time to do a friendship card.  He could still be used as a Christmas card for a male friend but I like the idea of a year around card.  I cut out the semi-circle using a die with enough space to fit him in.

Joy to the World Christmas Card

It's hard to resist a cute Penny Black cat stamp, especially at Christmas.  I'm not sure why the bird is giving a present to the cat and is getting a snowball in return though.  It was still lots of fun to color with all bright winter colors.

Warm & Cozy Reindeer Card

Holiday Cowboy Santa

This cowboy makes me think of Arizona and how nice and warm it would be there.  I don't need snow but I'm in for months and months of it ahead.  This is also the official start of another wonderful 30 day coloring challenge from TheDailyMarker.com.  I'll be having fun coloring a lot.  December will be for holiday baking and decorating.
