PEACE on EARTH:

I am poking my head in here to join in the MoxiFab fun. I squeezed out some time as my poor neglected stamps haven't seen ink in awhile --- and created my take on this:



You can catch all the fun, and view all the artists take on it here.
1} I love these colors!!
2} I love that icing - it just looks like it is waiting to be licked off. I have a few around here who would eagerly volunteer. lol.

PEACE on EARTH:



couple of shots:







3} I have been wanting to make a winter scene with the tree for ages!!
4} To me, the scene looks so peaceful, ahhh fresh snow! Puffy and deep, clean and white. Snow that no one has disturbed!!


'Til we meet again.

Sincerely,
Sonja



Edit to add: This card was selected as one of the 5 winners for the Tuesday Trigger, It's Snowing Gingerbread! on the MoxiFab blog!!

Thanks for all the sweet comments, it was so fun to play along with you all!!

Thankful

I certainly have much to be thankful for and I found myself needing to express my gratitude in the form of some thank-you cards.
I was determined to use (and play with) some of the free digital images I received from 'ETC.'. I was so pleased with how this particular one turned out. I love everything shabby, and I don't know what woman doesn't like roses. I chose to color these ones a shabby peach. My coloring was done in a mix of watercolor pencils and your basic pencil crayons.
I had so much fun playing with the coloring on this image as well as changing out the sentiment, which is very easy to do. I simply cut a rectangle slightly smaller than the inside frame and stamped a nice 'fitting' sentiment (get it:} fitting,lol!!, o.k. maybe so maybe that wasn't all that funny ), to express my gratitude to a very special someone. Oh, and I guess I forgot to mention, that this image was enlarged from the original size.

I'll be doing this again for sure.



Sincerely,
Sonja

SWEET TREATS!

It was such a sweet treat to be one of the recipients of a give away at ETC. Wasn't that so nice of them? If winning weren't enough, I got to select whatever images tickled my fancy.---(giggle)

Well, I was and am totaly in love with the 'Songsheet Bird Printable' image (more blogging coming with that one, I PROMISE!), 'Getting Sentimental', and 'The Lord is My Shepherd'. Thanks, ETC!!

For my first 'play-date' with these I chose the "Getting Sentimental" set. I began by painting an Altoid tin white, 'cause that's just the shabby girl that I am!---LOL!! Then I stuffed the little tin with heart candies that are filling the shelves in the stores. I made a wrapper/sleeve for it and tied it with ribbon.



Wouldn't these make great party favors?
