Star Spangled Christmas card

A Christmas card with stars for the DRS challenge this week. We could either make a red,white,and blue card or use stars.  In black Memento I stamped a DRS star and then used a jel sparkly gold pen to outline parts of it. In the center I used a glittery star brad and around the edge of the circle I used a gold foil ink pen. The circle is popped up on lime
green cardstock stamped with a star, added to a black for a little accent. All this attached to a white card.

DRS challenge #96

I made this Christmas card to enter into the DRS Rip Torn challenge this week. Starting with a white cardstock for the card and adding an olive green layer stamped with DRS Lines O' Plenty background stamp. Next comes the torn white paper stamped with their background dots stamp topped with a glitzy gold ribbon. And of course one more DRS stamp-the poinsettia colored with copic and bic markers with gold stickles in the center and I have one more Christmas card made!

DRS challenge-that's unexpected

What is unexpected about this card, well how often do you see a pink snowman!!  I am entering this snowman card into the DRS challenge this week. Also using this card for a donation to Operation Write Home through DRS card drive. I have been away from stamping for several months and it feels good to make use of my stamps again!  This is a DRS snowman stamp, however I changed out his hat :-)  The ribbon snowflake slide is also a DRS stamp. I love their stamps!

Merry Christmas everyone!!
Wow my first blog post, never thought I would be doing this, LOL. But with all my crafting I thought I'd give it a try. Not sure how often I will be able to update, but will do as time allows.
Sure wishing our son and his fiance would have made it down for Christmas but the weather in Minnesota is just not cooperating for that to happen. However our daughter and her hubby, who live across town, will be over for dinner tonight, so that will be nice.
I am so excited that my dear, sweet,generous hubby is getting me a Nolting quilting frame for Christmas. I have been quilting on a Super Quilter table top frame for close to 7 years now. First I had a Juki sewing machine on it for a year and a half, then moved up to the Nolting 16" Hobby Quilter on it when DH built me a wonderful sturdy base to put it on. After another year and a half Nolting came out with the Funquilter 17". Nolting machines are the greatest! Since we have empty nested DH finally agreed to let me turn our son's old room into my new quilting studio. I had been quilting in the basement, but will now be on the second floor in a much better environment. And since we could not get the old base up all those stairs and around corners he decided he would get me the new frame, which should take about 3 weeks to arrive. So I am painting the room tomorrow(I think). I will also move my stamping stuff up there. So lots of work ahead so it is all done when the frame arrives and I can get back to quilting.
