Hello! Every year I want to start my Christmas cards early and enjoy the process and not rush at the end of the year! I want to play along with Christmas challenges all year long so I am participating in a Traditional Colors challenge at the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge blog. http://hjcchallenge.blogspot.ca/
I chose red, green and gold for my colors-- and the cute elf's outfit comes across more as a blue/green instead of a true Christmas green. I just tried out a shotbox-- love it- but I think I need to practice more with the lighting! The elf stamp is from My Favorite Things- a wonderful set of stamps!
I have been absent from blogland for a while. Life got super busy and my mother and father decided it was time to be together again. My mom passed in May after a sad struggle with Alzheimers. My comfort is knowing they are together again.
I am off to the first tournament softball weekend of the season. The weather should be nice and in between games I plan to do some coloring of Christmas images. I hope to be posting more often.
Enjoy the weekend!

Wha a gorgeous little Christmas card! I love that elf!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. It's good that you can take comfort in the thought that you mum & dad are together again!

Darling card, great coloring and a good head start on the Christmas Cards. I did two since January and then stopped, but hopefully you've given me what I need to get started again. I kind of broke away from card making in favor of knitting hats for chemo patients so my craft room has been lonely for a few months. I am so very sorry to hear about your Mom. That darn disease really is a hard one. My Hubby's grandmother suffered with it for almost 13 years. I am glad your parents are together again though. I wish you a good week.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute image and a sweet card! Sorry to hear of your loss...always so hard to lose the ones we love so deeply.
