Happy Halloween Squirrel card

I'm a squirrel fan (except for red ones who I take for car rides and relocate).  But gray squirrels are fun to watch and pretty friendly.  I had one that would come close to get walnuts from me every day.  I made this card for my mom this Halloween.  Definitely not scary but cute.

Happy Halloween Bunny card

More bunny love this Halloween with this sweet little bunny from Whipper Snapper Designs.  The only thing scary about this image is the little spider hanging off his hat.  I've used this script Happy Halloween from Simon Says Stamp many times and it's still my favorite.

Too Much Wine card

Is there such a thing as too much wine?  Maybe not as you're drinking it but the next day.  This was a fun little card to make.  I made a gray chair to match the color of my sofa.  The only difference is I have purple pillows.

Christmas Memories card

I'm really into blue for this holiday season this year.  Previously it was always reds and greens but I'm enjoying using the blues.  I think purple will be next.  This is such a fun stamp to color.  I have a feeling this is the only way I'll see Christmas balls this year since I have 2 kittens and I have a feeling a tree and them will not be a good idea.  Maybe I'll put lights on their cat tree  :-)

Christmas Hedge Hugs card

What's cuter than a pair of hedge hogs rubbing noses?  These two were fun and quick to color.  I deliberately did not match scarves to the boots.  We all know that's impossible...the struggle is real even in the hedge hog world.

Happiest of Birthdays card

I ran across this (new to me) company and just adore their sweet stamps.  It was fun to try to add the depth to the rose, bow and bear.  And I needed some birthday cards for upcoming birthdays for friends and I think they'll think he's as cute as I do.

Stay Off The Broom card

I always have so much fun coloring these bunnies from The Cats Pajamas.  Another bonus was all the fun sayings that came with this set so I can use it to make many different cards.  I filled in the area with a Copic marker between the bunny tail, ears and broom instead of trying to fussy cut in that small area.

Be Thankful card

Another Fall card and this time I went for the bold Fall colors plus I got to use the maple leaf that I cut out for the last card from the shaker opening.  Win-win!  I had so much fun with all the colors of the harvest basket of goodies.
