Gina's blog! Wasn't her creation beautiful!
We are all using Michelle's gorgeous
Wishing Star Angel with the theme
A Christms Wish.
My Christmas wish was very easy, it's for someone my family & I pray for everyday! Our niece Raeann! After enduring a successful double lung transplant two years ago, this past summer found her struggling again going to the top of the transplant list a second time! She is a wife and mother of two young daughters! Our prayers were not only for new lungs but also that she would be able to be strong enough to raise her precious babies! She has recently received a single lung transplant and is doing well! So my Christmas Wish is for her to continue improving, stay out of the hospital!! and enjoy a Christmas at home with her family....where she belongs!!!
For my card, I used some non traditional Christmas colors, gold & navy! I colored her with Copics/Prismas. I wanted her to dazzle so I used dazzling diamonds on her wings and highlighted her hair with some
Smooch! Look, blingy stars too! Can you tell I had fun with this one!

Our fabulous sponsor this week is Softpencil Digital Stamps! Oh mY gOsH, their images are sooo adorable, I love 'em!!!! This one is called, Looking for my friend. Though the kids thought it looked more like the mouse was a 'gift' for the cat....can ya tell there are mostly boys in my house!! Softpencil has a blog too, with FREEbies & challenges, check them out!!!
Stamps: Whimsy Stamps (N'ice Friends),
My snowy darling is Emma with Chickadee from Fred She Said! This image comes in outline form or pre-colored as seen here! The set includes different colored coats and has matching papers available too! I've used the Martha Stewart snowflake punch to make a bitty snowflake flower with a pearl center and sizzix swirl!
This is a Victoria Case for SCACD image, Everyday Gal-Miss Chardonnay! Thought she was perfect for this wine shaped card! I colored her with Copics and gave her a gold party dress & heels, finished off the wine bottle w/sparkly gold embossed flouishes! A really quick card but perfect for the occasion!
Santa is colored with Copics/Prisma markers and paper pieced! The papers are SU! real red and K&Co Christmas! I dotted around Santa for interest and faux stitched with white gel!
All those happy memories came back when I saw this wonderful image from Fred She Said, called Emma the snow angel. She comes in outline form or pre-colored as seen here!!
...her PCP group page! I went with bashful blue & celery and glitter! The papers are DCWV Christmas glitter pack from forever ago! Trying to use up what I have and not carry so much 'baggage' into the new year! lol The sketch is by Carlie over @ Michelle's new challenge blog, it was the final step of her recent blog hop!
Of course, recipe cards are great for creating a delightful set of recipes for cooking but I wanted to see what else I could do with them! Here's the first one I played with, it has a picture of Audrey sitting pretty! I colored her with markers then popped her for a fun look! The papers are SU! celery and Basic Grey Junebug!
I found a huge stash of old sheets of music in the attic and put it to use! I colored with Copics and pencils, there's distressing inks, gold Encore ink and antique gold embossing powder! I used one of my crumbled flowers with some punched greens! This is an "Encourage" card, so I included an appropriate Psalm!
I really like doing shabby chic! I hope you have the opportunity to play along with us this week at Digital Tuesday! Check out all the wonderful inspiration from my DT sistahs!
Our fabulous sponsor this week is Joni from Inktegrity and she's giving a $15 g.c. for the store to the winner! woohoo, thank you Joni!!!

I went with the monochromatic look, using SU! DSP and Prisma pencils. The flower is two punched retro flowers crumbled! The CG sentiment comes from the inscription over the door of the Library at Thebes!
This is a pre-colored, ready to print image! Talk about a quickie card! There are matching papers available along with pre-colored flowers! I love that it all coordinates so perfectly!!! The sentiment is from SU! holiday wishes. The pine bough punch is McGill.
I used Copics/Prisma markers and pastels for shading! The DP is K&Co and the shimmery ribbon is Offray! The sentiment is SU! Peace be unto you! The sparkle on the wings is SU! dazzling diamonds! A CAS card again!
