I am sharing a cheerful Christmas Thank you card today.  This sweet Humphrey was rubber stamped using a Crafter’s Companion stamp and coloured with Promarkers.  The backing paper was free in a home craft magazine and has been finished off with jewels in the centre of somesnowflakes.

Cheerful Stamp Pad Challenge – All that Jazz

For my second All That Jazz challenge post I have made a CAS card using the grand piano and added my own sentiment.  Perfect for the piano teacher!

I have had Craft Artist 2 for some time now but I am learning to do different things every time I use it.To get this effct of the border, I used to layer 2 squares but today I discovered that it is far easier to use just one square and make a thick boder around the shape!

Thank you – with birds

And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
