Trite but true

It's trite but true. Christmas in July. If you plan on being an over-achiever and making your own Christmas cards you might as well get started now.  This is the newest holiday set available from Stampin'UP!.  Click the photo to get purchase details. and might I suggest this set of markers to really make the little bird look his best. Below is a very similar stamp I colored using these markers and you can see the shading is well done, I assure you it's much all due to the markers and not at all to my skill. if you can color inside the lines your will look just as good if not better.

Long time no craft

Well then, rather than make a long shame filled apology for my lack of posts, I'll just dive back in with some pictures of recent cards.  After all no one really scrolls through craft blogs for the witty commentary. We all just want to look at the pretties and be inspired to make something.

This little lovely was created using MDS digital design software and Blendabilities markers.  Blendabilities are my new great favorite. It puts the joy back in coloring. Its just like being 8 years old again and using a new box of crayons for the very first time.
