Candy Cane Tags

Well when you stamp an image on to the card and then colour it can lead to Yuck that one is trashed but so far I have 2 of these little gift tag cards and I'm lovin them they are simple but took a little time to colour them up just the way I wanted. The challenge over at Touch Markers wanted Food with shadows so I've used a yummy candy cane and tried shadows with a lighter colour and darker colour

Bottom one BG 1 & BG 3, While the top one I've use BG 3 & BG 5 I'm liking the darker shadows better.

Holiday Wishes

Yep I've been making Christmas Cards Galore sometimes you just can't help yourself and this time I used a sketch which I slightly tweaked a little to work with what I had in mind. I followed the Sketch from Jingle Belles again had to make one with something I coloured in and Stretched to fit my card

I've been trying to be a good girl and use things I have at home ... but it's hard and my space is soo limited right now so I guess I'll make a wish list and try to be good.

MY RIBBON STORAGE  

So this time around on Show Us Your Stash 8/26they want to see ribbons and this is easy for me I'm a little bit of a neat freak/save space kinda girl. I try to keep all my stash contained so I don't get out of hand the ribbons have been rolled up really tight and then taped or wrapped up. Some are in little baggies colour cordinated of course to make it easy to find the fatter ribbons are just floating around in a little pile there the thin ribbons/fibers wrapped around boards to keep them tidy. Let me just say I'm trying not to buy anymore ribbon ... but when you see some of that new stuff at Micheals AHHHH I so want some more but I have to make room for them in these little tubs so I'm trying my best to use them up so I can get new ones :)
