Joy To The World

Good morning friends ~  I made today's card using Sunny Lane dies from scrapbook.com   
I have been loving the look of cards lately using row houses and made this card a few weeks before Christmas. 
 
 
I love how the dies do double duty, embossing the buildings while you cut.  Super cute texture!! I used a swirly background die from Lawn Fawn for the night sky and added a sparkly snow drift on the bottom.  The sentiment tile is from Poppystamps.
 
All the colors of cardstock are from Cutcardstock.  I wish I could say I'm getting a jump start on making cards for next year, but alas I'm still trying to post the cards I made last Christmas.

I'll be adding this card to the following challenge:
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Peace On Earth ~ Inspired by the blue tones
 
Cut It Up ~ Favorite Dies

Sing Joy

Hello friends ~  The card I'm posting today was actually made over a year ago.  
 I never got around to posting it last year.  I'm so terrible that way.  I take all these photo's of cards I've made and don't get them posted to my blog.  I'm a procrastinator through and through.  Then I scroll through the challenges and see if I have a card that will fit.  True confession.
 
Anywho, my dear friend Marcia shared this cute "Sing Joy" image from Penny Black with me last year.  I just love her darling little face, singing from her heart, and maybe a little off key.
 
The sentiment is from a set called "Caroling", also by Penny Black.
A CAS design with a few extra snowflakes to add sparkle.
 
I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
 Christmas Kickstart Challenge ~ Dreaming of a Pink Christmas

 Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

 A Cut Above ~ January Challenge
 

I hope you're keeping warm, and always remember to sing JOY from your heart.
Thanks for stopping by!

*SNOW* 3D Lighted Box Ornament

Good morning friends!  I thought I'd share this snow themed 3D lighted box ornament that I made last fall.  
 
 
Every year for Thanksgiving, I gift a Christmas ornament to each of my kids, their spouses and my grandchildren.  For 2025, I made them each a lighted box ornament.
 
My son's ornament features this darling polar bear with his cub, representing my son and my sweet "P".  The polar bears are from Sue Wilson Designs.  I added design details using Copic markers.
 
 
 The "SNOW" die is from Papertrey Ink.  I added some Silk Microfine Glitter to the snowflake for added sparkle, finished off with a wintery blue pearl center.
 
The sentiment banner is from Memory Box.  Everyone enjoyed getting these handmade ornaments last year.  It was a big task, but I was up for the challenge.

I'll be adding this project into the following challenges:
 
Cut It Up Challenge ~ Anything Goes
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
