Festive Friday Christmas Card Blog

                         

This Christmas card collage is made using both B-line and

Graphic 45 stamps.  The paper is also Graphic 45.

I added a jeweled crown and some Stickles for my Bling. 

It's all Marah Johnson's fault!

                  I can't leave my Luminart and Paint-it papers from Creative Imaginations alone....
                         you gotta try them and get addicted like me!!!

THIS IS MY NEW TOY BOX!!!!!

P.S. Marah J.  I need more of this beautiful paper...they are all fun
        but this is my very favorite, not because it Lace!!

                         

My Hero

Charles August Lindbergh Jr. has always been my hero.  His Biography is so amazing..I strongly recommend it.  Also both his father and mine had the same name:  Charles August.  He also attended my high school Redondo Union High School and no we were not classmates.  Redondo is a very old school..I know I am older than Dirt....but not dirt quite that old.  I have a large collection of Lindbergh ephemeria and decided when I found the Desiree Frame from Creative Imagination this was what I needed to display a small part of it.  I love how the frame gives you such a large area to collage on.

The small photograph at the side shows the crowds at the arrival of the

 Spirit of St. Louis in France.

This is a stamp from Viva las Vegastamps

Item no. 17408

I am really proud of this stamp.  On a visit to  the actual Viva las Vegastamps! 

store.  Wayne, the owner, asked what stamp I would want if

I could have any stamp design I wanted and Wha..Lah the Lindbergh postage

stamp.  Wayne you're the best, thank you again.

 I am from the original VLVS design team 

and am very pleased to be back on the 

current design team.  Check out the our DT blog at Vivalasvegastamps

I stamped this onto a piece of Ecoart board and glazed it, chalked it and  

baked it to get this sepia look glazed look.

                                            TIME FOR CHRISTMAS     

I have always wanted to do a Steampunk Santa. 

I stamped all over the card with "nesting gears" from Vivalasvegastamps.com

I love dimension and had a great time with my steampunk supplies.  The majority  of the items were

attatached with glue dots.  (Which I found you can't leave them  in the sun very long.  While doing my photo shoot they started melting....heads up!)

Viva las Vegastamps

"Face in Fir"

item number 17963 (plate no. 1371 

I fell in love with this new stamp.  The card was made using three copies witch I stamped with Momento tuxedo black ink.  The layers were  colored with

Copic pens. I used the original copy for the background and the other two I used to cut out seperate

branchs to add depth.  I attached them with glue dots.

Next I used double stick tape to form a border around the card.  I over laid  these with 2 different

layers of Chrismas papers forming a shadow box effect.  This was attached to the card.   I added a few red dot embellishements.
