I am working my way through the twenty or so Power Poppy images I printed off. This germanium image is one of my favorites. It is colored with Copic markers. I'm not sure where the paper is from.
I decided to get away from Christmas images for a while. That probably won't last long1 Anyways, I decided to print off a bunch of Power Poppy images to color and make birthday cards. Who doesn't need extra birthday cards sometime. All images were colored with Copic markers, pastels on the daffodils and pencil on the hollyhocks.
I am off my craft desk for a few days. This is killing me already. We had to rearrange the furniture in my craft room to get an appliance delivery through the room on Friday. I had to take my husband to the emergency room on Friday and missed the delivery. They rescheduled the delivery for this week so I don't want to rearrange the furniture until after it's here. We thought my husband might have had a blood clot after his surgery a week ago. We went to the emergency room because his left hand was extremely swollen. Surgery was on his left side. they put new wires in his heart and a new pacemaker in. When we first got to the ER they did every test imaginable. They also thought he had a blood clot. They even thought they may have seen a spot on his lungs that looked like maybe piece of a clot broke off. Turns out after additional testing. The is no blood clot, thank goodness. His hand is still swollen, just not as much. It appears to be cause by the sling he has to wear. The adventures never end when you get older!
This was a fun and surprisingly fast image to color. It's from Power Poppy. Yesterday I printed off about twenty of their images. I thought I'd try to get away from Christmas cards for a couple weeks. I colored this image with Copic markers.

I have done this image before, but for some reason, I really enjoyed doing it this time.I got this image back in 2009, I believe. I colored the image with Copic markers and the paper is from Stampin' Up. I actually have enough cards now for doing my mailing list four times over. I think I may consider doing a craft sale in town this year to try to sell some. I am switching to birthday cards for a while.

Another fun part of Christmas has always been decorating. This image is by Mo's Digital Pencil. I colored it with Copic markers. The paper is from my stash.
This is another addition to my male birthday cards. I finally have enough made for the year. There are 12 males on my birthday card list (not including the five grandsons.) I now have enough for them all. This image is from Power Poppy and is colored with Copic markers. The paper is from Stampin' Up, I believe.
I have always loved this image. I have a whole set of baby animals done by the same artist, Angels Landing. They even come with a coloring diagram to follow to make the coloring easier. Unfortunately, with all the 300 or so Copic markers I have, I was still missing five or six that the diagram recommended. I just substituted something close. The paper is from Stampin' Up.

I'm not sure who this lighthouse design is from. It is colored with Copic markers. I cannot figure out who this image is from. I printed in, nut now when I look back I can't find it. Not surprising, I have about 12,000 images.
I got this cute little card design as a freebie this week. It was quite easy to cut out and put together. It has a door that opens and two pockets.
I love the Precious Moments images. I have a lot of statues. I also have a huge nativity set. About thirty or so years ago I had just finished putting my nativity set up on my mantle in the family room. I went and sat down n the living room to take a break. All of a sudden I repeatedly heard ceramics breaking. I ran to the family room and saw one of our cats on the mantle walking along intentionally pushing the nativity pieces off one at a time. They had been very expensive and I must have had thirty pieces. She had broken two of the three wisemen, Mary, an angel, a shepherd, a goat, one of the camels, and more. I feel bad now, but I took the cat to the shelter the next morning. It cost hundreds of dollars to replace the pieces she broke. She also loved to break glass. I collect antique milk bottles, medicine bottles and lots of others. She had a field day with those occasionally. She also broke drinking glasses if they were left on the counter. I had finally had it. I can no longer put the set out. We had a fire and it destroyed our mantle and we decided to go without so the nativity set no longer has a place to be.
This Nutcracker was made from a die set from Spellbinder's. I love him, but he was a pain to put together. They should really include a blank backing for him to be assembled on. It was difficult putting him together in that some of the pieces don't overlap enough to put a adequate amount of glue on the joints. I may make my own next time to ease in construction. This has not been a good cardmaking week.
I am struggling to get my Valentine's card out this year. Iplanned cards using the Silhouette this year. That was a major fail. I have been having so many problems with my machine. When I fix one thing something else goes wrong. I finally through the attempted cards away and decided to color some images. These I had in a set of freebie images from way back. I stii have to make two cards for the older boys. I hope the Silhouette behaves.
This image is from Power Poppy. I have recently enjoyed coloring their images once again. This is colored with Copic markers. The paper is from The Paper Studio. It is a wonderful pack of country papers. I thought this pic was so unusual combining persimmons and flowers.
