....Today is another gorgeous day and this is one of those days where I really wish I could be out doing a gardening and yard work, but it know better and know that if I do that I'm gong to end up in misery and a Fibro flare...GRRR! If I felt really good I might do some simple thing, but after throwing my back out, last weekend I know it's NOT a good idea. I did sit outside for a bit with my coffee and did run a quick errand, simply to enjoy some fresh air. Then, I headed up to my craft room, opened the windows and started working on some cards. My other hobby that I LOVE and keeps me happy!! If I can be gardening, then I'll happily work on cards and enjoy time crafting instead!
My first task today to to finish a card that will be submitted to two different Christmas Card Challenges. It will be submitted to Bah!' Humbug!' for their "Embossing" challenge. And it will also be submitted for the Snowflake theme challenges this week at - Christmas Card Challenges.
This darling "Sugar Plum Fairy" from Pink Cat Studio as my image and colored her in lovely shades of purple and lavender. For my "Embossing", I used my Cuttlebug and embossed a snowflake design on my card-base and also on a piece of contrasting cardstock. I also created more "snowflakes" but using my MS punch and also kept the little punch pieces and added them to the card too.

Here is my finished card that will be submitted to both challenges! If you want to get ahead on your Christmas Cards this year too, then hop on over to Bah! Humbug! and/or Christmas Card Challenges and join in on these fun card challenges.
And on a totally different theme, I also went from Winter to Spring and created another "Spring" card in a floral design. This card I created to send to a good friend, but it's a surprise, so she has no idea it is coming and I'm not going to post and say who it is for.
I also created this card as another way to practice coloring and shading with my Copics. I am am not sure what kind of flowers these are, or if they really would ever be this color, but since I love purple, I thought that's the color I would go with!!
And that's it for now......my Spring and Winter cards, both made today. Hope everyone is having a nice day and as always, Happy Crafting!!

Both lovely cards Lisa - thanks for joining us yet again at Bah! Humbug! Your peel offs were posted last week so crossed fingers that you will receive them soon.
Do let us know when you do.
The flowers I believe are snowdrops and should be white, but I'm a purple love too so hey who cares?

I had a feeling the the "snowdrop" flowers might be white, but I think for a card the purple worked out okay! Plus, I adore purple!!
