Reading with Edward

Yesterday when I was packing stuff for my daughter the mail came, new stamps for me from The Greeting Farm. Yehhhh My Daughter is a fan of the Twilight series and even has me reading the books, every birthday I make her a bookmark for a change I thought I would make her one for Christmas.
It is a very simple bookmark as it needs to sit very flat, I made one with embellishments one year which was a big mistake.
Stamps: The Greeting Farm - Edward
Paper: chocolate,white, blue, DP - three bugs in a bugs

Sleding in the snow

Today I was getting together some things to send to my Daughter in America, I don't usually make her a Christmas card as she lives at home, but I thought she might like this one. Although it is winter in Florida I don't think she is having snow, pretty much the same as when she is here in winter as we never have snow.
I just love these cute Penny Black stamps, they are so easy to colour. This card is made for challenges on the Pink Elephant blog Challenge #45 and Kaboodle Blog challenge #19 & #20
Stamps: Penny Black Christmas critters
Paper: white, blue, DP
Other: MS Snowflake border punch,ribbon,brads,kindy glitz,copics

Peek through Christmas

I have decided on a design for my Christmas cards this year, because we are sweltering here in 40 deg (104F) heat I thought of snow. The idea for this card came from a tutorial that I saw on
Dawns stamping studio some time ago. I didn't have the printed acetate so I improvised I think it turned out rather well. What do you think?
Stamps: MFT Sassy sayings
Paper: Real red, white card, acetate
