He’s Makin’ A List

Pin It

I have another Christmas card using a Whimsy & Stars Studio digital image to share with you. I love this jolly looking Santa. He looks like he is pretty happy with all the names on the “Nice” list this year.

I only used part of the image for my card, so here is a look at the full image. (Of course when you purchase this image you will receive a high resolution image with out the watermark.)

If you are looking a head to Valentine’s Day, Mabelle will be putting Valentine themed digis into the store later this week. I got to take an early look at them and I warn you, they are cute!

Before I go, I thought I would share a picture of one of the glitter ornaments my daughter and I made. They were so easy and look gorgeous. It was fun making these and my daughter wants to make some more.

If you would like to give these a try, HERE is the tutorial from Greenbean’s Craftrole that we used.

I hope all your holiday preparations are progressing smoothly. I’m happy to say that my checklist of “Things To Do” is getting shorter. (Although I think I will still have the last minute rush to finish things up before Christmas.)

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!

Gorgeous ornament and it sure does shine on your tree! I did some last year, hmm....need to do some more, yours are just too gorgeous for me not to try again. :) Your card is adorable and I just love all the different papers and textures you used behind this sweet little Santa and that infectious smile.

Karin said...

Love your coloring on the Santa! He's super cute! Great job on the ornament...I clicked over to check out her tut and I think the floor wax may be my answer. A couple of years ago when I tried them, I used SU reinkers and glitter and was not impressed at all...Very weird and not sparkley...They ended up in the trash! Thanks for passing along the tip :)

So adorable, Cheryl! Love that sweet Santa image. Great use of the digi, too. I really like how you showcase another way to use a larger image. Beautiful paper combo. Love the bit of corrugated kraft at the bottom with the scalloped edging. The tag sentiment is super cute, too.
Your glittered ornaments turned out so pretty. What a fun crafty project.
