Mary and Baby Jesus

Hello all,

The count down to Christmas continues.  I know we say it every year, but where does the time go.  This last weekend was a busy one.  I participated in the Craft show at the Senior Center on Friday.  Then I made cards with the kids at a local store in Corning.  Connor helped with a charity event to help raise money to help hungry children.  We had a great time, but the threat of bad weather kept people at home.  As I type, the TV is whining about the 6-10 inches of snow headed our way. It is a shame Mother Nature couldn't cooperate a little!

I have an unusual card for you today.  It is a new take on scene with Mary and Jesus.  Many have commented that it must have been windy in the Manger.   I agree the hair might be a bit much, but it is SOOOO much fun to color!





Copics used:
If I were to color this again, I might make Jesus's blanket blue.  I went with brown because of the bible verse, but I think blue would help break up all the browns in the photo.
Blue:  B12, B14, B16
Hay: Y21, mix of browns.
Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20
Lips: E04, R20
Blanket: E50, E51, E53
Hair: E30, E31, E33, E35
Wood: E43, E44, E47

Saw That

Happy Wednesday!

When I saw this stamp, I had to have it!  It just made me laugh.  Hopefully you will chuckle a little as well.   I will confess this card design is very similar to the sample made by the manufacturer (SSS).   Why mess with perfection?

Here is my version of "Saw That"



No copics!
I used chalk colored pencils.  Regular colored pencils work as well.

Christmas is Truckin' Along

Happy Monday!

Well the count down has begun.  It is time to get out the Christmas decorations, start shopping, and eating everything in sight!  It is Christmas Time!!  I'm sure many of you either set up or went to purchase your Christmas tree this weekend.   I thought this card would be fitting today!

 I snuck outside to take this shot.  BRRRrrr....
