Hello
friends. Is everyone ready for the holidays? I have had my Christmas tree in the stand for a week; but no time to decorate it yet. LOL! We were away for Thanksgiving; so Christmas snuck up on me this year. I have heard that several areas have snow now. We actually had rain on Saturday in Southern CA and a little thunder. It was awesome! We could use a lot more rain.
I am creating this post for the Art By Miran DT call. I am a stay at home wife; mother and grandmother (My kids are all grown up now). I love creating cards, being part of a DT and I love to comment and provide encouragement to crafters on their blogs. I own most of Art by Miran digis and try to buy all the new ones; plus I own most of her rubber stamps from Whimsy. I have loved her digis from the very first card that I saw on a challenge a few years ago. It is such a pleasure to use Art By Miran images.
She is so talented and her images bring lots of joy to those who use them;
as well as those who receive them.
I would love to be a part of this fabulous group of designers; and feel I know most of them already. I have been on several DT in the past; and have enjoyed every one of them. It would be such an honor to be part of the Art By Miran DT. I have added several of my Art By Miran Cards for your consideration of the DT position. See below.

I created this card using Art By Miran Santa's Helper. The pictures do not do it justice; as it is gorgeous in person; with lots of sparkle and shine. I used two of the free digital papers, "Winter Frost"; which was created by Tracy Wray; who is part of the DT for Art By Miran. I changed the color of her paper to purple on Microsoft Word; because I wanted to use my favorite colors; which are purple and yellow together. I used a little blue; because I needed one more color. I used Stampendeous Fran-tage Shabby White Embossing Enamel for the first time on this card. It was really messy; but so much fun to create snow! I can't have the real thing; so I decided to create it on my card.
I hope you enjoy this card and the ones added below. I added a few cards for the DT Call; which I created in the past year using Art By Miran images. Click the names below the cards to purchase these images; and the link to my post is below the name of the image; if you would like more information.

I create a lot of cards with Art By Miran images; and these are only a very few from this past year that I have created. Art By Miran has a private Facebook group Progressive challenge; which you can enter each month. Once you have purchased the first one at a discount and entered it; you get the next month image free. I try to do all of those challenges; as they are all fabulous digis.
