Christmas Card Using Conie Fong Sally and Little Squirrel

Hello friends!  I can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving and then Christmas right around the corner.  I hope everyone is doing well and taking time to create and enjoy whatever hobby you love that makes you happy.  

I finally had the time to color one of my favorite images; that I don't think I have ever used before this card.  It is Conie Fong "Sally and Little Squirrel".  I have wanted to use it for a long time.  It was so much fun to color and to work with.  Our Conie Fong Facebook group Monthly Challenge is always Anything Goes with this month's option of Gratitude.

Birthday Card for Boy Using Conie Fong "Just Like Daddy" digi and CTMH Oh What Fun Paper pack

Hello friends!  How is everyone?  We actually had rain last night; which was a pleasant surprise.  I love hearing the rain falling on the house.  It is such a pleasant sound.  We had thunder and lightening as well; which is also rare in Southern CA.  LOL!

I haven't felt good for several days and haven't been sleeping.  That has worked to my advantage with having some time to create.  LOL!  I needed to get this birthday card created for my great grandson who is turning one year old the first part of November.  

I colored this adorable new image - Conie Fong "Just Like Daddy" and decided to use a lot of different dies to make a fun card for a one year old.  I think we really make the cards for their parents; but I am sure they will enjoy it too.  LOL!

The colors are actually prettier in person; but not much I can do about it when the photo's just don't look as good.
