Reindeer Food....

Santa will be coming soon....it's time to make sure that you have plenty of reindeer food to attract Rudolph and his friends to your house on Christmas Eve........

This photo shows the Reindeer Food that I made to sell at Paula's Christmas Open House. Little white metal pails filled with Magic Reindeer Food for the little ones to throw on the lawn on Christmas Eve...just for Santa's Reindeer.

A New Winter Sport...SnowCone Skating!

Even though it snowed here yesterday....not everyone gets a lot of snow where they live. Some creatures have to use their imaginations to enjoy winter sports....just like this little skating owl. He couldn't find a pond to skate on....so he just found the closest snowcone. :)

Winter Is Definitely Here....

Although technically winter won't get here until next week....it's been cold, blustery, ICY...and this afternoon it's going to snow.....again....winter has arrived.

Not everyone is upset about it though...these two little Odd Bird Planet Owls are enjoying the cold and taking advantage of the ice..........:)

An Odd Bird Planet Merry Christmas....

Merry Christmas from Mr. Hedgehog...who's trying to figure out how he wound up in the Christmas wreath. It must have been some wild woodland Christmas party....

A Puppy For Christmas...

No...I'm not getting a dog...one animal (A rabbit) ruling my house is enough for me right now...but this sad little guy decorated for Christmas is enough to make you think about taking him home and making him happy...right?

New Odd Bird Planet Stamps........!

Just Johanna's Odd Bird Planet is coming out with a whole new set of Gnome Stamps...perfect for the holidays....(What? You've never heard of Gnome For The Holidays?)

Here is my card using two of the brand new Gnome images .......

Hmmm...it's just been pointed out to me that it's more of an owl image than a gnome...very true! :) There are a lot of birds in the new Gnome Stamps....Gnomes need pets too!

Two Gift Card Holders...........

Two gift card holders....one is a triangular shaped Santa card with a slit in the back to hold either a gift card or money...it can also be hung on the tree. The second card has a Santa on the front with his bag of goodies and a slit inside to hold a gift. There are more gift card holders at http://www.linnecards.com/ Take a look in the Gallery....it's today's "Weekly Feature"!

One More Card For The CCC Challenge #1...

Actually...I did this card first; but when I was finished with it, I realized that I had done absolutely no stamping on it (I had just used the pattern on the papers for the design)...and since stamping was part of the challenge...it was back to the drawing board.

One More For Today...

One more Christmas card while I'm in a holiday mood.......Linnecards Christmas Card A Day Challenge 12...Paper Piecing. I love paper piecing.....so this card was one of my favorites to do....and the littler snowperson really doesn't have smudges on her snow....it's just the scanner gremlins working overtime again.

The Christmas Season Is Starting....

This is a card done for one of Linnecards Christmas Card A Day Challenges.......Challenge No#3 was to use rubons....I used Imaginisce and Doodlebug Minis. The rhinestones on the card are all in shades of blue...my scanner (Showing the rhinestones in black) obviously needs glasses. :)

Happy Thanksgiving...

Happy Thanksgiving Day to everyone! I hope that all of you have a wonderful day and enjoy feasting with your family and friends.

Card Crazy Challenges.....

The first challenge with the CCC (Card Crazy Chicks) was to follow a sketch supplied by Tanja www.ozziesgreetingcardsbytanja.blogspot.com/ in her blog list it's listed as Card Challenge One-Christmas........ three centered circles on a ribbon split patterned background. We were to use two different papers and the circles were to be in the center.

I followed the sketch almost completely....I just angled the circles a bit and turned them into ornaments.

More Linnecards Christmas Card Challenges...

This is my card for Challenge No. 5 at Linnecards....the challenge is to create a card with Pink Christmas Trees...check out all the daily challenges for Christmas cards in the Challenges Forum at www.linnecards.com .

Card Challenges At Linnecards....

Linnecards has a Christmas Card Challenge going on.....it started November 1st and goes until the 30th....but there's plenty of time left to use the challenges to get some hand created Christmas cards done before you need to mail them out. You can find the challenges under the "Challenges" forum at http://www.linnecards.com/ . Here's one of my cards (For Challenge #16).....this challenge was to create a card that was not a rectangle or a square....I used a snowflake shape.

Yesterday Was "Button Day"!

Button Day was yesterday ,November 16th. I'm one day late.....but I've collected buttons since my Mom had a button jar when I was small...and I want to celebrate...so here's a button decorated Christmas card to commemorate Button Day 2008.

The little owl just hung her Christmas Button Wreath...her name is Alma and she's an Odd Bird Planet Stamp. You can find her at http://www.oddbirdplanet.com/ .

The scan is a touch blurry...my scanner was not awake yet this morning when I used it.

This Year's Thanksgiving Card....

This card is at Linnecard's for the Weekly Feature...which is " Pink Paislee"....check out the cards and layouts done by the rest of the Linnecards Design Team in the Gallery at http://www.linnecards.com/ .

My turkey is all dressed up in her Pink Paislee feathers for Thanksgiving Day and is just waiting for someone to ask her over for dinner.....she might want to rethink that.

Thanksgiving Cards..Old and New.

I found this card in a box while I was cleaning out my scraproom (A cleaning job that took two days because I kept finding things that I forgot that I had...) It was made for Linnecards at Thanksgiving time last year.

I'm in love with this discontinued Quickutz turkey die.....I call him my "Naked Chicken/Turkey" because his body looks like a featherless chicken.
