Christmas Stash (G

 I'm still working on my Christmas cards for Splitcoaststampers Christmas Card Challenge.  I am very far ahead at this point.  Tom had surgery this week and it's been somewhat stressful.  He's not allowed to drive, lift, or do most things.  Wires from his pacemaker had broken recently he found out at his last checkup so they said it needed to be replaced immediately and new wires put in.  It's the new wires that were the hastle.  He's in a sling for two weeks while the area where the wires were inserted into the heart heals.  So I'm basically responsible for doing pretty much everything.  Fun, fun.  If I didn't have a collapsed spine it wouldn't be so bad.  Also , my vision is getting bad and I gave up driving a few months ago.  Well, I'm back driving.  As long as I drive in daylight I seem to be okay.  On the positive side, card making relieves my stress.  Therefor, I am in major card making mode.

 

This card is for the July CCC, Enjoyment.  Things that we enjoyed about the holidays.  Visiting Santa is on the list.  This image is by Mo's Digital Pencil.  I colored it with copic markers and pastels.The paper is from my stash.

 

 

 

I was told that this is me with my grandfather, who had a job playing Santa. I proudly announced that Santa was my grandpa to everyone waiting on the line! 

This image is also from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I didn't like how empty the corners looked on this image so I cut them off.  I don't know if that was a good decision or not.  Once they were cut off I had to figure out how to fill out the areas.  I used a few different washi tapes to make up the difference.

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 my favorite card of the bunch.  I just love this Power Poppy image.  I colored it with Copics.  Spreading holiday cheer also brings enjoyment.

 This is another image from Power Poppy.  I saw it done in bright colors and decided to go for it.  This one is definitely on the bright side.  It is colored with Copic markers. Relation to enjoyment...presents!
