My last Whiff of Joy card as GDT.

 
Here's my last card as guest designer over at Whiff of Joy. It sure has been a pleasure. I can't believe it's been 6 months already.. wow! These images are so cute I just adore this illustrators work. I used my Fancy Pants Design Papers and sticker as the sentiment. I think it's perfect for the carefree look on this little guy's face. :)
 
This weekend I'm at CHA in Anaheim, Ca. I'm so glad I didn't have to travel very far (40min by car) Check out my facebook and my instragram for photos!

LOTV - Sneak Peek!

New Lili of the Valley Sneak Peek!
This cutie patootie is called James Umbrella. I used my Copics but gave the bear a very distressed look. I am very happy with the outcome. These little bears are so cute and fun to color. You can really do so many different types of fur.
 
I've had the flu the last week and boy did it knock me on my rear end! I've missed so much work and I haven't watch so much tv in a VERY long time! I slept a lot.. but still exhausted. This horrible flu starts with a headache.. so beware!
 
I leave on Friday for CHA! I can't wait for my dose of inspiration. I always come back all pumped up and ready to color and create! Follow me on Instagram and Facebook for photos!

Gift Card Holder Ideas.

Here's a few gift card ideas. This one with the CandiBean - Reach for the Star image is made from a mini paper bag. Super fast and easy.
 

 
I got these little tiny bags from Michaels, a gift card fits perfectly in there. I used this Lisbeth - Snowflake Ballet image to put on the front. Also a fast and easy little gift card holder idea.
 
Have a wonderful day!

Christmas Gift box.

 
Here's a little something I made for my class at Jollene's Paperie. It's a mini Pizza box. Too bad I didn't get any other photos before I sent it to the store. This little box would be perfect with a little gift card or some hot chocolate packets and a candy cane. :)
 
Have a great day!

Magnolia Fur-friends Christmas

 
Here's a simple card I made using the darling mini Magnolia images from the
Winter Wonderland Collection. Coloring in Black and White is so fast and has a great look. I really love the way it came out. The pops of color really stands out with the black and white images and papers. If you need to make quick Christmas cards, Magnolia Mini Stamps are the way to go!
 
Hope you like my card.
Have a great day!

A Merry Little Layout - Fancy Pants Designs.

 
Hello there!
Here's a Fancy Pants Designs Christmas Layout I made. These photos were actually taken a year ago in my daughters kindergarten class. They made gingerbread houses .. super fun! I let her do whatever she wanted. Part of me wanted to make it look neat and tidy. By the end of the decorating she was just taking handfuls of candy and dumping them on the house. She certainly made the house "her own". :)
 
Hope you like my layout. I've used the following Fancy Pants Products.
