Merry Mittens

These adorable mittens are a Verve Digi Stamp that I downloaded quite a while ago.  When I saw the sketch for Waltzingmouse challenge #24,

the Verve image and this design came to mind.  I just put in an order for 4 Waltzingmouse stamp sets.  If you haven't visited Waltzingmouse, click HERE for a wonderful collection of stamps and related items.

C4C Autumn Birthday

It has been far too long since I put ink to paper and created something.  Life is nuts!  I have a dear friend with a birthday tomorrow, so I made myself buckle down and make her a card.  For my layout inspiration, I used this week's C4C Challenge, which is a sketch by one of my very favorite artists, Silke Ledlow. 

I recently got Gina K's Autumn Splendor collection, and these sunflowers were calling me.  I colored the sunflowers image with copics, and went from there. I am pleased with the way it cam out.  Happy Birthday Barbara!
