I'm making one a month, and I need about 50. Hmm. Not enough months in the year. I'm talking about Christmas cards. But, hey, it's a start! Here's a card I made for the DigiStamps4Joy monthly Christmas challenge, using this month's free digi:
I colored the image with Copic markers, then added some Stickles to the mailbox and tops of fence posts to make it look like sparkling snow. I folded the paper over at the top of the snowglobe, then cut through both layers, leaving a bit of a fold at the top, creating a shaped card.
I have a giveaway going on, celebrating several events: I wrote my 500th blog post this week, I'm close to 400 followers on my blog, and I have 100 "likes" on my Facebook page, Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. To celebrate all those things, I'm having a giveaway: I have some Timeless Twine, some 3 Girl JAM ribbon, a Unity stamp set, a Close To My Heart stamp set, some Pinque Peacock embellishments, a 6x6 paper pad, and various embellishments that I need a home for. I also have two generous sponsors: DigiStamps4Joy is giving a $10 gift certificate to the store, and The Cutting Cafe is offering any 3 sets. WOW! If you'd like to be eligible to win, please leave a comment on any of my blog posts between now and July 6. I'll draw a winner on my birthday. It's my day, and you get the present! I'd also love it if you "like" my Facebook page and follow my blog, if you don't already.
