It's a Christmas Miracle!

You'll never believe it! I have actually finished all my Christmas cards and ATCs BEFORE the holiday! Yes, you read that right!!! My envelopes are already addressed and my cards will go out first thing on Monday. They should make it to your mailboxes just in time for Christmas this year instead of the usual two months late! God bless us everyone!

This is the first time I have tried making these pull-out, pop up cards. They were lots of fun! I stamped one of my favorite Penny Black cat images and colored them with Copics to make four different color combinations of my cards. The above photo shows them "open."


I just had to get this Penny Black snowman image when I heard it was being retired! I made these thank you cards using leftover papers from my Christmas cards.

I also put together some quick fall ATCs and used the pull-out, pop-up card pattern to make some snowman ATCs.

Finally, I just couldn't resist showing off this photo of my sweet, furry stamping buddy!

I wish you all a safe and blessed holiday season!
I look forward to sharing more artwork with you in 2010!

Halloween Cards and Oodles of Inchies!

I am a little late posting this... Here is my Halloween card.
I love this Trick or Treat stamp by Penny Black!

Here are my inchies for the last three swaps of the year:


I am happy to report that I am over halfway through with my Christmas cards and ATCs! I hate to jinx myself by saying this, but I may actually get them mailed before Christmas this year!!!!

PS: Look for the new Hero Arts 2010 Catalog sneak peek blinkie off to the side of my blog. I can't wait to see the new catalog! I am so excited!!!
