Hello Friends! How are you? It is almost that time of the year. It is exciting to celebrate Christmas with family; but it can also be a very stressful time of the year. I placed orders Friday, for my husbands niece and nephew's children; so that was fun. My husband found out his nephew had moved and forgot to tell us; after I placed the order, using his old address.
I think I did all the hard work of placing the orders and trying to make sure they were shipped to the correct house. Last year, I mixed up two of his families labels; but luckily they did not live far from each other; so it all worked out. I normally print one package label at a time; but I was rushing to get them done; so my husband could take them to the post office that day. Lol!
I colored and created this card using Conie Fong "Santa & Reindeer Bundle". There are 8 different images in this set, in both JPG and PNG; making a total of 16 images. I adore her images and love being part of her design team.
I love to color; but I had to slow down on coloring, due to the smell of the markers as well as my arthritic hands. I can still create; although things may not always be lined up perfectly. I have had to accept that part of the process. I have been told that they are after all handmade; so they are not supposed to be perfect. Lol!

All CTMH products are retired. CTMH's last day of business was June 30, 2024. I will continue to list the products and numbers; and will be using CTMH supplies until they run out.
FYI: I am not promoting or selling any products. I am sharing the products I used as a courtesy to the people who read my blog; and because many of the challenges now require a list of products used.
Thank you visiting my blog. I hope you enjoy my creations. I appreciate all of you. Be sure to check out my tabs at the top of the page for my videos, tutorials and my previous card creations.
Click here for my YouTube Videos. I have been creating mostly reels lately; which can be found on my Instagram account. Thanks for your patience.
CTMH is out of business now; so my part as a CTMH consultant ended April 30, 2024. I will continue using their products for as long as I have supplies. They are still my favorite products and I will always have a place for them in my crafting and in my heart.
One thing that I love about your cards (well, I love a lot of things, but...) is that you almost always take the time to stamp on the inside. This is such an easy thing to do, but so many people don't take the time. It's a great touch. You do inspire me. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful art and creativity with us at Word Art Wednesday. Please be sure to join our next challenge, too. It's our BIG Annual Blog Hop with lots of great prizes. I hope you will join us again. I always enjoy you and the sweet cards you share in our challenges. Have a blessed and creative week.

ReplyDeleteSo cute! and a lovely CAS layout to show case Santa. Thanks for taking part at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations challenges.
ReplyDeleteSanta looks like he’s already adopted the puppy and changed his whole naughty or nice policy accordingly! The cuteness level here should honestly come with a warning, pure festive joy and big smiles all round. Thank you for joining the challenge and sharing your creativeness at Ally’s Angels ❤️
