Down The Road to the Moon

I'm teaching myself Photoshop.
I only know how to use a tiny portion of the program.
The funny thing about this piece is that I don't know how I completed it.
It just happened playing with the program.



Thanks so much for stopping by!

Poinsettia, Are they leaves or flower petals?

Do you know the answer?



They are leaves not petals.


I'm looking at all my rubber stamps and have many favorites.
There are few that can no longer be bought as the business is closed.  Sad.

I decided to decorate the envelope too.


This Poinsettia stamp is one of my favorites.
It's easy to stamp, color and cut out.


The Mini Woven stencil was used in white and green.
With such a large stamp the background doesn't need to be to busy. 




Stamp: Poinsettia H180 - Me and Carrie Lou Stamps (no longer in business)

When the holiday season begins


We travel to Chicago to be with our daughter for Thanksgiving. This year father and daughter ran a 5K on Thanksgiving and then she cooked a yummy dinner.

What starts the Christmas season is making ornaments.
We started this new tradition last year.


Except for the paints, all the ornaments parts are from Red Lead Paperworks.  This ornament is the one I created.


We also made this small snow globe ornaments.
This is the one I created.






My daughter's favorite holiday is Christmas and she loves to create the ornaments. As she was growing up we used to make ornaments that she would give as gifts. The best part of Christmas for her was giving her gift, watching the recipient open it and then their smile. To this day, she still makes ornaments as gifts and can't wait for everyone to open them.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'm linking my ornaments to Karen Evans' challenge blog called Emerald Creek Dares. The challenge is called Let The Festivities Begin.
