Hang in there...

Good morning!

I hope everyone is getting some time to rest and re-group in this time before we welcome in the new year. The Sweet November newsletter went out last night, where we review all the going-ons of the month. December was definitely a bit quieter but it is still worth checking out because as always there is a new free digi for all subscribers. You may recall that last month's freebie was the fun Sale-abration Fairwee, ready to do some serious holiday shopping with her special 'Weesa' card. Well, this month I couldn't resist revisiting this little Fairwee after all of the holiday hoopla had warn off and the inevitable bills began to come due with the new Reality Bites Fairwee image. She may be regretting splurging just a little too much, LOL! There is also a second version that you get without the "Bill Due" written on the letter which can be used for more generic sympathy or bad news types of cards that still try to bring a bit of a smile to the recipients face.

So thank you so much to everyone who has supported Sweet November in 2021 and helped this little venture continue to grow. Here's to an even more exciting 2022!  :)

O come all ye faithful...

Hello friends!

A very happy Christmas Eve day to all my fellow crafters who are celebrating. The holidays are in full swing here at the Young household so I'm going to keep this short and sweet... like a miniature candy cane, LOL! These adorable Tiny Wisemen from the Roberto's Rascals range of stamps at CC Designs have been waiting in my collection for quite some time to see some ink so I made sure this would be their year to get on a card. I masked the little shepherd boy from the set into the front of the scene and colored in an ancient cityscape into the distance. They are on the final leg of their journey as tonight is the big night. :) 

Ok, time for me to scoot my boot. There will be one more card tomorrow but after that I will be taking the next week off from blogging, except for the SN newsletter freebie, but I will be back at it again in the new year!

Hi there!

Today I've got a large 5x7 card to share since I really wanted to ink up the Big and Bold Believe set from Colorado Craft Company. What a great Santa and with a little masking I was able to have the little girl in the set taking the gift he is giving her. In the background I colored a large Christmas tree aglow with lights. I didn't bother trying to color the branches around ornaments and instead added the bulbs at the end by simply sticking on pretty glitter enamel dots from Doodlebug Designs. It looks like that magical moment kids dream of experiencing each Christmas Eve. :)

Only a couple more sleeps now!
