Hi everyone. I'm sharing my last card and post for the year. I used a sweet digital image from Digi Stamp Boutique. I thought these stockings were so cute and it was fun to color them with Copics. I added crystal effects on the ornament to make it shine ... and glitter on the cuff of the stocking for some bling. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.
Christmas is almost here ... and like most of you, I've been busy getting ready. The shopping is done, the decorations are up and the presents are wrapped :) This means I haven't had much time in the studio and have missed playing with my cards and visiting blogs to see other's wonderful creations. I plan to be back in full swing in the new year.
I wanted to wish all of you a peaceful and joyous Christmas. Thank you to all who support me all year by visiting my blog and leaving comments - it really means a lot!
Before I go, I wanted to share some wonderful news. On December 18th, Nikki and Evan (DDIL, DS) had their first child. Cooper Gordon surprised us by being three weeks early! He is so beautiful and it was love at first sight for the whole family :)
Here's a picture of Cooper at four days old. He just waiting for Santa to arrive! :)
Merry Christmas Loll and a perfect sparkly, glossy card to end the year! And a new bundle of joy to fill your Christmas with extra love and happiness, he is an adorable little Santa xx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on becoming a grandma. He looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove your card. I have been meaning to colour up this same image (and the others in the set) for a long time, but my Christmas card production has been extremly low this year. Well, at least there's room for improvement for next year. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Happy Christmas and congratulations, Loll ... or should I say Grandma (!) ... Cooper's just a perfect Christmas gift! Such a cute card ... all festive and fun! Anita :)
