When I first saw the stamp set for @simonsaysstamp December kit, I thought “crazy Christmas sweater!” Ok, I know the term is “ugly” Christmas sweater, but no way I could call those gnomes ugly! I used a knitted pattern embossing folder (@richardgaray) and silver ink to bring out the design. I Copic colored the gnomes and fuzzy cut them, I didn’t like the white border so I colored it with a matching marker. I added pom-poms to the Os, and action wobblers to my little gnomes. This will go to a friend who just sent me a pic of himself wearing the craziest Xmas sweater I have ever seen. I think he”ll appreciate it! I’m entering this card in Simon’s Flickr challenge.

A watercolor panel from Suzy's In Full Bloom set of pre-preinted cards. I colored with copics. Not sure what I will do with this - thinking about popping it into a frame rather than a card.

I water coloured the beautiful bouquet stamp set from SSS using #karinmarkers and used a thanks die to complete the sentiment. This is a large stamp and it makes for two slimline or A2 cards.

I grew up here in Minnesota and live very close to Lake Minnetonka. There must be something very magical about this lake as it has inspired so many amazing things, like Tonka trucks, moccasins, and music. In the early 1980s both Prince and Janet Jackson were creating their best songs right here. So, when Ms. Jackson came back to town, my wonderful husband surprised me with tickets as an early Christmas gift. The concert was fabulous. This is my layout from that memorable evening.

This layout is based on a sketch from My Creative Sketches. The pattern papers are My Minds Eye "Fancy That." I also used Simon Says Stamp's "Music 2 My Ears" that were heat embossed with Ranger Princess Gold powder (the PRETTIEST gold ever!) on Sweet Stamps vellum and fussy cut. The wood shapes are by Studio Calico and the music notes are a Memory Box die-cut.
