Good morning! I got the best night's sleep last night - dontcha just love that? I went to bed around 10 and slept until 7:15. And I only got up once during the night - bonus. I woke up feeling rested and refreshed, such a great feeling! BUT - I forgot to pre-post last night, I'm so sorry (I thought I was late, but it turns out I was just on time - phew!!! LOL). You should have arrived here from Monique's blog if you're hopping with us - so first up is my creation for the 12 Days of Creepmas at Smeared & Smudged:
Today is a Smeared Ink day, so I used Dance with Death and added some mistletoe - I LOVE this image. I used Emerald Green and Silver Foil Smooch Spritzes, love that stuff. DP is from MME. Ribbon is from SU! Now hop on over to the Incredible Ike!

We have a new challenge for you today at:
I used Mimi's Witch Costume Framed for this one, I love using Halloween images for other purposes so I turned Mimi into a Christmas Witch. :) I paper-pieced almost everything on her - her shirt, mask, hair, hat, and hat band. I colored her skin with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and her lips with a marker. The stars are colored in gold glitter. DP is from Authentique (LOVE this paper) - and then I just added some pearl stickers, rick rack and ribbon tags.
And for this card, I used our "JOY" bubble sentiment and Ruby Sitting, same paper as above. I love the way it came out, but it was hard coloring Ruby so tiny.

Next up - a couple of months ago I ended up speaking to an artist named Roberto Barrios from Argentina who draws comic book art. Roberto's art had been stolen and re-sold by those nasty Papelitos people, and I had sent him an e-mail notifying him about what was going on. He had never heard of digi stamps or images and asked me to explain what they are used for, so I did. He was so thankful to have been notified, he actually drew me 2 images to use in my crafting - wasn't that sweet? Here's a card I made with one of them:
I colored her with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and added white Fun Flock to the fuzzy parts of her cap and coat. I used left-over scraps of DP from MME from last year's batch of Christmas cards (I love being resourceful!). Isn't she adorable? Thank you again, Roberto! :) I'll be coloring up the other image and creating something to share soon! Peace.
All your cards are great, but I gotta tell ya' that first card is something special. I just love that image.
