One of my favorite holidays....



Do I send out Christmas cards, not normally.  Do I send out St. Patrick's Day cards - almost every year to everyone I know.  Those who aren't lucky enough to be Irish can get a card from someone who is I figure.  In case you are wondering my other favorite holiday is Halloween.  This card utilized multiple stamps - even a wheel type and some copics. 

Christmas tag project


The bottom photo was just to illustrate good old fashioned 3D effects.  Christmas tags are nice to do.  I also did my own wrapping paper this year - customized for each recipient of course.  I colored these tags with copics.  There was plenty of glimmer mists used as well.  The snowflake punch can serve as a mask (use the negative from the punch).  Which can be just as nice a touch as the snowflake punch out itself. 

Take time to enjoy the journey of life.

Inside...
I did this card and another for a friend and lucky for me they liked the other one better.  I was way geeked about how this card turned out.  The black 'paper' on front is not paper.  It is sizing!  I had to use some pretty serious pigment ink to get the ink to pop but I like I said I like the result.  I stamped the same image in black on the white card stock for an added contrast.  The inside left was embossed with a folder.  I used some of Tim Holtz's accoutrements on the front and inside left. 

So a project....


You get a shot of its backside first b/c I think that is its best side!  Maybe it just isn't a photogenic project? This is using some batting (think snow please) and Echo Park Paper's Holly Jolly Christmas line. 

Do you tattoo?


My favorite tattoo - one you can change.

Bonnaroo is a 4 day music and art festival.  Somewhere around 80K people attend or as I like to say me and 79999 of my very closest, new friends.  As they say, let the good times roll!
