Christmas Shepard

Hallo,

  This little shepard I have had awile - since back when I was one of the card designers for Sweet Pea Stamps so more than 5 years ago now...

  This cute digi is from Aurora Wings and I colored him with prismacolor pencils. I edged the panel with copper krylon pen and used some bronze pearl drops in the corners.

  The Merry Christmas die is from Top Dog and I used copper cardstock.

Surfin Santa's

Hallo,

   I did up another batch of the Surfin Santa from Sheep Ski Designs.

  Kinda goofed a bit on the bottom corner - my red stickles didnt dry as quick as I thought they would so ended up smearing a bit - I fixed it up a bit after taking pics but didnt want to retake the pics....

  Colored with prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.

  The Merry Christmas die is from Top Dog Dies.

   All for now - Take Care

Ornament cards

Hallo,

  Just a short post before work this am. 

Some coloring, some die cutting, some fussy cutting all on a kraft card base for a vintage type look.

   Finally getting close to the end of my Christmas card making frenzy - only about 20 cards to go( I send out over 70 cards every year). I finished off about 25 cards over this weekend.

Polar bear cards

Hallo,

   Well with the long weekend and not too much to do, I finished off a boatload of cards. I color images sitting on the couch during the week before bed and then it is fairly quick to put them all together over the weekend sometime.

   I am keeping things simple for layout and embellishments this year because I am behind the power curve getting them made.

  This cute polar bear image is from 'Sheep Ski Designs', colored with prismacolor pencils, edged with a silver krylon pen and I used some silver pearl drops  in the corners. The Merry Christmas die is from 'Top Dog'

Fall Cottonwood

  Encaustic wax with oil sticks and then used hot pens and encaustic and more oil sticks.

Fall Creek

Hallo,

   I made a very quick weekend trip home to Nebraska in October to see family. I was hoping for a little fall color too but as you can see from the first pic, most of the color was already gone, and we had foggy, murky days to boot. 

  However this pic is from the creek near where I grew up and can well remember the glorious fall colors from growing up. We played all along this creek from this bridge about 3/4 mile south all along the windings through the fields to the bridge about 3/4 miles to the east ....

   The painting started with the first pic - a background of encaustic and oil sticks. 

  In the last 3 pics I broke out my hot pens to play with - have had them several years, just haven't really played with them much, so will be doing several paintings just to get some practice with them. 

  I am really missing fall this year more than I usually do so I hope you are in the mood too as there are several more in the works.

  All for now - Take Care
