Burst of Colors

Merry Christmas / Frohe Weihnachten to all of you! I will take a little break from blogging and crafting until after New Years. I need to re-charge my creative juices ;-) I hope all of you have wonderful holidays together with your families and friends.  Here is the last Christmas card I made this year. It's more on the simpler side. This super cute Tilda image was a gift from my dear friend Claudia ! Thank you so much sweetie :-) So fun to make a card with a Magnolia image again...haven't had time to use my Maggies for quite some time. Need to change that in the new year.... Thank you all for always visiting my blog through out the year and leaving me such nice comments! <3 Merry Christmas and a happy & healthy New Year to all of you! Luv 'n hugs,

Greetings Everyone! Today is the 8th door opening over at our BnW Advent Calendar and it's my turn to host todays Advent Calendar door. I altered a cute little note book and used the recently released cutie pie 'Jam Jars'. It could be used as journal, diary, for notes, for recipes etc. Isn't she just so sweet with the jar in her hands and the basket full of strawberries? I colored her using my Copics. DP is from Basic Grey's Indie Bloom collection. I found the little note book in the $1 bin at Michaels. I always find something useful in these bins and never leave the store with out browsing through them ;-) Thanks for taking the time and visiting me today! Hugs, Iris
