Christmas In October

As mentioned in my previous post, I'm getting a start on my Christmas cards.  I really need to get myself organized so that I'm not rushing and stressing out at the last minute, besides, I'm having fun experimenting with my Copics since I am fairly new to the colouring world.



These two cards were made using the CC Designs Santa Birgitta image and coloured in with Copics.  The dsp was a gift from my friend Paola who was sweet enough to send some to me.

This little lady is the CC Designs Christmas Emma, also coloured in with Copics.  Once again the dsp was a gift from Paola (I know, isn't she awesome!?)

What do you think?

Getting A Jump On Christmas

So in between getting things ready for Thanksgiving, I've been playing with my Copics and have made a few Christmas cards.  I have to make about 40-50 of them so I decided that I was going to try and stay ahead of the game.  Seems to be working....for now! lol

These two cards were made with Ornament Trevor by CC Designs.  The dsp on the first card was a scrap piece that I had laying around so I don't know the name of the company (sorry) and the second one is from my dear friend Paola who was kind enough to send me a few sheets when she joined my swap on SCS.

Child's Birthday Card Swap

I am participating in a card swap on Splitcoaststampers that's for Cute Children's Birthday Cards.  There's still plenty of time to join since the due date isn't until December 1st, 2010.  We're supposed to make 6 cards per spot and we'll get 5 back, the plus one is always for the hostess, but in this case the hostess will be donating all her cards to The Ronald McDonald House Southern Alberta Charity.  I think this is such a great and worthy cause, so much so that I joined up for 2 spots and am thinking of just making a bunch of cards so that she can send along with the ones she's donating.  Here are the cards that I've made for my two spots:

I used SU's Make a Monster set for this card and used my Copics to colour it in.  I'm trying to use up all my retired colours so the cardbase here is Ballet Blue, and the dsp is mounted on Apricot Appeal.  There's also a bit of Certainly Celery on the card, I know it's not retired but I just had to tie in the little green monster.

This one is a Cricut creation using the Disney cartridge.  I finished putting Mickey together but didn't really like all the white space so I decided to cut out a huge head in Real Red cs and I think it gives the card the finishing touch.
