Eight Tiny Reindeer

Image
Hello Everyone! I think I am becoming addicted to the ornament shaped Christmas cards! They are a little more difficult to put together, but it's just such a festive shape, it's worth it! I can't help myself! This one was made with papers from My Mind's Eye and Recollections. I just love these reindeer images! The sentiment banner is from Canvas Corp, the poinsettia die is from Sizzix and I used Pion Design Palette paper White I, the leaves are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The little styrofoam balls are actually from one of the dogs toys that busted open! Gotta recycle! The frame is made from hot glue and a Martha Stewart mold, the doily layers are Cheery Lynn, Prima, and Spellbinders, the 3D pine branches are made using a fringe die from Cheery Lynn, the wee reindeer is actually a button from DeSerres and everything else is from my stash. *** As I was skimming through Instagram yesterday morning, I saw so many people posting photographs of the snow they got this weekend.

Hello Everyone! I don't get the opportunity to work with purples very often, so this was a lovely change for me today. A feminine card that could be used for almost any occasion using papers from Graphic 45, Prima and Forever in Time. The doily is Prima, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the wood embellishments are from Scrapiniec, the frame was made using hot glue and a custom silicone mold, the pearl strips are from The Ducks Doodahs and everything else is from my stash. *** The world is finally starting to display the beautiful hues of autumn. I can't wait to get out into the woods and see what colourful things I can photograph! Until then, I'll share some more summer shots. The nights are getting cooler and the flowers are getting leggy, almost time to put the Christmas tree on the patio! HA! For my birds today, this sweet little Nuthatch ... a female Sparrow (still young)...   the ever-elusive female Cardinal !! "Let's see now, which way is the wind bl...

Pion products: Summer Falls into Autumn - September Morning PD9601 Summer Falls into Autumn - Days of August PD9607 Summer Falls into Autumn - Tags PD9612 Summer Falls into Autumn - Borders PD9611 *** The world is finally starting to look more like autumn up here in Canada, and the temperatures are also finally starting to feel more like autumn too. I don't have much in the way of new photos to share, so I thought I would share some from last year that I never had a chance to show you.

October was a difficult month, as I spent much time remembering some special animal friends that I lost last year in October. My sweet, handsome little MR SCRUFF . One of the few...
