The Funkie Junkie 12 Tags of Christmas Week #10

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I spent it in Chicago visiting my daughter. I have a few photos to show you from my trip.  You will be seeing them soon in future posts.

Today's tag is for The Funkie Junkie 12 Tags of Christmas. I actually have #10 and #11 done but I will be putting them in separate posts.

Linda used a poinsettia embossing folder on her tag so the poinsettia is my inspiration for my tag.

The poinsettia is a stamp from Me and CarrieLou. I stamped it twice; once for the flower and the other for the leaves. The background is made from a  Tim Holtz texture fade and distress inks in aged mohogany and fired brick. The vintage Santa image is from Graphic 45's Christmas Past paper pack. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Life Well Spent

I was digging through my stash of scrap paper and found this flower and hummingbird already stamped and colored in.  I was playing with colors on this little 4" x 4" stretched canvas and thought it would be a perfect match.  Believe the flower is a stamp from Stampin Up (Fifth Avenue Floral) but the bird I'm not sure. I'm trying to look for it but I might have borrowed it from someone and returned it.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Snow! Let it Snow!

First let me say I don't like snow. It is beautiful and I will be the first one in the neighborhood to go out and take pictures before everyone starts shoveling but that's it. I hoping for a no snow winter this year. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed! Sorry for all those who love it.

The background is made from distress inks and snowflake stamps from Stampin Up.

The cat and snowflakes are grungeboard. The little bulbs on his tail I have had for a long time. They have a little loop on each end so I was able to string them to his tail.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Oh Christmas Tree!

Today I have another card with no stamped images. I made the card from my basket of scraps but I think this paper might be Memory Box but I could be wrong.

I seem to be in the Christmas spirit a little early which is really strange for me. Each year I try to start my cards earlier but I play so much with different options that I end up with too many designs that I like or dislike that I end up making them last minute. That's the only holiday stuff that I touch at this time of year.  Shopping (I only buy gift cards), tree, decorations, etc. I don't start until about two weeks before Christmas. 

I don't know about all of you but I hate to see the decorations up so early and I've never been one to go shopping on black Friday. It's seems a little scary to me especially after watching the news later that night.

For all those who shop on this day good luck and stay safe!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Congratulations!

Over the next week I'm going to show you a few items that I made but never posted to my blog.  Thanksgiving with my daughter this week and family visiting most of my cards and canvas are started but not complete. Next week I will be back on track so sit back and enjoy the show!

Today's card was a quick card for me. There are no stamped images and it's made from paper scraps and one rub-on.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
