Last weekend I spent some time practicing colouring flowers. I had found a few stamps at a Thrift store so I took a break from Christmas cards to colour a few up. This weekend my goal is to get some cards made with my practice colourings. First up is this birthday card featuring Pure Prairie Bouquet from Power Poppy Stamps.

Penguin Christmas
It's looking a lot like Christmas in my craft room! Growing up we always had an artificial tree but I had a lot of friends and family who made it a tradition to go out as a family and get a real tree. This stamp called Penguins Carry The Tree from Whimsy Stamps reminds me of the fun stories my friends told of their adventures to find the perfect tree.

He Gnomes.....
I have a few people on my Christmas card list who love gnomes so the "Santa's List" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps was perfect for a card for one of them. High Hopes has a few different Christmas gnomes to choose from so it was a tough choice......but I will definitely be colouring more of them!

Winking Holiday Cheer
After taking a bit of a break from making Christmas cards, I am back at it. When I am creatively challenged as I like to call it, I will look at my stamps and try to find a way to make them go further. This stamp comes with a frame around it but I decided to just colour the snowman and fussy cut it for a different look. Meet the adorable "Winking Snowman" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps! How cute is he?!?

Christmas Bell
I am still in Christmas mode in my craft room. I need a lot of cards and even more this year as I get ready for a Christmas open house. For this CAS card, I have used the "Joyous Christmas" stamp from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I have been looking for a poinsettia stamp for a while now and when I saw this stamp combined with the greenery and bell I had to have it. I think it is perfect for my parents and inlaws as well so I will be colouring more up!

Not A Bill
I have quite a few Christmas cards I need to mail each year and I hope that the people who receive them are happy it isn't a bill showing up in their mailbox. "Not A Bill" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps is perfect for sending some holiday cheer. It come with grass under his feet and by the mailbox post but I chose to fussy cut him and add some snowbanks to make a Christmas card.

Sending Pony Smiles
Yesterday I had the chance to go to a crafty garage sale. As I was flipping through the stamps I came across this adorable stamp from Lili Of The Valley called Me And My Pony. It is retired but anyone who knows me knows......if it's a horse stamp it is coming home with me and going in to my "collection". It was later in the day when I got back so first thing this morning I was excited to get to colouring and creating with my new stamp. Hoping this brings a smile to one of my horsey friends.
