Creative Confetti - Mad About Plaid

Well, I was not going to enter the Creative Confetti challenge that Julie put out there for this week.  Seriously that was my intention. As I was shopping for some last minute things at the grocery store, I spotted some interesting napkins for the Christmas dinner table.   I remembered the challenge was Mad About Plaid and I bought them. Sure, now when do you have time to make a card, when there are other things to get done.  If you are a crafter like me, you get an idea and it swirls around in your head until you just can't help it. Out it comes. 

Here is my idea for Mad About Plaid

My background is a napkin adhered to a layer of card stock.  I printed out the Digital Gifted Corgi Stamp set with the sentiment.  Colored it up with Copics and my Colored pencils and placed it in on the panel. You can find it in the store and it is on sale.  Just saying. 

I accented the cute image with a die-cut border from Spellbinders called Venise Lace.  It will probably be the last Christmas card that I make this year but will be saved for next Christmas.  It is raining here in Florida today and the project forecast is that it will continue all day.
Thanks for taking a look and I do appreciate your comments. 

Double D Challenge - Twelve Days of Christmas - Days 7-12

This is the last Challenge for Double D for this year.  Why not join in and plan on playing again next year. If you are a cardmaker, you need to join in the fun here at Double D.

Twelve Days of Christmas

Days 7-12

7th Day    Seven Swans A Swimming

8th Day    Eight Maids A Milking

9th Day    Nine Ladies Dancing

10th Day    Ten Lords A Leaping

11th Day    Eleven Pipers Piping

12th Day    Twelve Drummers Drumming

I chose the Tim Holtz stamp of a soldier.  

I hope he passes for a leaping lord, or a piper or even a drummer 

Just colored him up, and cut him out. Placed the soldier on a Main Street tag and then on vintage background.  I hope that you have time in this busy season to join in.

There is a prize

Fun with Power Poppy Digital images and pics of Egypt

Hello to you all!  It has been a while since I was here posting pictures and creating.  Sure missed doing that, but it was worth the trip of a lifetime that we took to see our daughter and family that lives in Cairo Egypt.  We had a great two weeks and the sights were unbelievable to see.  So much history and so many people.  Cairo is a city of 24 million people.  I think every one of them owns a car.  The traffic was crazy and we were so glad to have a driver and guide to pick us up and take us each day. Here are a few of my pictures.

The Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx 

 The tombs at Luxor 

 Amazing hieroglyphics, look at the color after 2500years BC

Of course, everyone wanted to know if we rode a camel.  

After getting back and catching up, I was able to do some coloring of those amazing digi's that were recently offered on the Holiday Remix hop!  

Here are the three that I got done. 

 Some closer looks     at these cute              Chickadees.
