These were some of my Christmas cards that I made this year. Todd and I bought some stuff from Stampin Up when one of their demonstrators came to one of our crops, and then I ordered more because we didn't order any Christmas ones the first time. So I figured I should use them since I bought them. The one with the little truck was the most fun to do. I colored the truck with colored pencils and then used a glitter pen on the "metal" parts of the truck. I also used the glitter pen on all the tree branches to make it look like ice or snow. On the "Peanuts" one, I bought the stamp at Michael's and stamped it with black StazOn ink. Then I colored in all the characters. The two with the Christmas trees were also Stampin Up stamps. I really enjoy making my cards every year and everyone seems to like them a lot. This year I'm going to keep one of each of them for examples.
I've been scrapbooking about seven years. In the past I did many different kinds of crafts. Anything from woodworking to quilting. I try to incorporate all the things I have done in the past into my pages. I do use a lot of die cuts, but I try mixing my media. I love using aluminum,leather, fabric, really anything I can find that will add a little different look or texture. I do sometimes push the limit as far as the thickness of my pages goes, but I am much more interested in the finished look of the page than I am with having a book that's nice and flat.
