Eureka!!!!!!!!! Oh bummer, lol.

Well, I've figured out why my photos went missing, lol.  Laughing is all I can do at the moment because crying will only mess up my makeup...just kidding, I don't wear makeup. 

My daughter has a tablet and she was low on memory so I told her to delete a bunch of my blog photos, really, what are they doing on your tablet anyway??  Well, low and behold, there was a reason.  So please be patient as I go through and try to figure out and reload my photos.  Lucky for me I'm a packrat and keep them in a folder once I've uploaded them.

And, laugh with me....

Inspired Stamps Christmas Card Showcase

Hello and welcome here on the first of September!  I've been having issues with the photos on my older posts showing up and I'm trying to figure out the problem, no luck yet why it's doing this so if you have any helpful info please let me know.

This month the Inspired Stamps DT are showcasing Christmas stamps!  For us cardmakers, getting an early start is essential because before you know it, Christmas will be here and time for family and friends takes over.

Card Size:  4" x 6"

I used a few different stamps set for my card.  The girl is Hymn Girls: March.  I tried my hand at colouring on Kraft cardstock using Primacolor pencils.  Next time I'll add a white undertone to the dress...it's much redder in real life but I think it would pop more coloured on top of white. I love how you can make her winter-ish by giving her boots to wear!

The holly is from Flower Value Set, it's also coloured using Primacolor pencils.  The sentiment is from the 1" Circle Sentiments.

Inside:

For the inside sentiment and cross I used Blessed Little Chrismtas.

Prismacolor's Used:

Face - 924, 927, 939

Dress - 924

Boots - 935

Cross - 937, 944, 946

Snow - 938

Sky - 904, 938

Berries - 924

Leaves - 911, 912

Recipe:  Inspired Stamps SS- Hymn Girls: March, 1" Circle Sentiments, Flower Value Set & Blessed Little Christmas, Kraft CS, CTMH White Daisy CS, CTMH Ink- Black & Indian Corn Blue, Foam Squares, Spellbinders-Radiant Rectangles, BoBunny PP-Dark Denim Vintage Double Dot, Red Pearls.
