frosty the snowman or elf?

One of my clients brought me this beautiful glass snowman ornament for my tree. I love getting new ornaments every year and finding a special place on the tree for them. Enjoy the season!

O' Christmas Tree.....



I received this handmade card from my friends Karen and Emily. They are getting into the craft of rubberstamping. They did a great job and I love the card. Now to get them signed up with amuse!

down on the farm...



A new calf house is being built for the calves on the farm. The old was falling in and in need of repair. The baby calves have a temporary home in the tool shed until their new home is complete. Looking good so far. Come back in a few weeks to see continued progress.

winter stag

I love the simpleness of this card yet it has a majestic feel to it at the same time. I used "winter stag" stamp set from amuse along with latte ink for the stag and moon. I think the tree looks like a blue spruce when done up in the eucalyptus ink. I added a strip of double sided sticky tape along the edge and sprinkled diamond glitter for a touch of sparkle. Love this.

gotta love Michael Buble

 I have watched this so many times.....just a feel good clip!





set of notecards

I made this set of notecards using a bicycle stamp from Hero Arts.

I also used hand scripted from amuse studio. I love that set!

I added just a tiny bit of color to the card.... love the simplicity of this set of notecards.

The image is stamped on heavier letterpress paper that I found at Hobby Lobby in the clearance aisle.

color of the season

A client brought this beautiful poinsettia to me yesterday for Christmas. I thought I better take a picture of it because I don't have the best of luck keeping them beautiful. Any tips on keeping it beautiful are appreciated! Enjoy the season!
