I have not been in the mood to participate in any challenges lately. Life is simply too busy. I have been working on my February Christmas cards for Splitcoast Stampers. I also have to make a total of eight birthday cards for March. March also includes St. Patrick's Day and Easter. Needless to say I need to get a headstart.
The card above is for the February Christmas Card Challenge at Splitcoast. I used an image from Mo's Digital Pencil. I'm surprised I was able to color it. My vision is absolutely awful lately. I colored the image using Copics, pencils and pastels.

The three cards above for some male birthdays that are coming up in March.. I used dies from Spellbinders. The birthday greeting is inside. The tag on the jar says "For You." I thought these jars were so cute. I have been collecting Spellbinder dies for years and have not used most of them. Now that my eyesight is failing, cards made with dies are a lot easier to use.
This birthday card was made by using a Stampin' Up die set. It's a tackle box. Boy, those double layered stamps were a real pain to do.
The final card was made with Stampin' Up dies, also. I ended up really liking this one
