Now on to my projects for the month...  The first features the new Nutcracker  image colored with copics and layered up!

I stamped the image on Copic compatible paper and colored the image similar to some real nutcrackers on found on the internet.  I opted for a Kraft card base (5.5 x 4.25) and matted my DP with black card stock.  I added a variety of distressed papers, including a book print, music notes and traditional Christmas print.  I added a few die cuts accents from our sister company, Our Daily Bread Designs.

Here's the single image, Nutcracker...

the sentiment from an earlier release, 

 Old Fashioned Santa

and ODBD products...

Fancy Foliage Die

Peaceful Poinsettias Die

And now on to the super fun Snow Angel Murphy,

 or as I loving call him "Saint Murphy..."

Here's the image you see...

and the sentiment from 
Old Fashioned Santa

I couldn't resist coloring Mr. Murphy like one of my beloved Saint Bernards!  I started with black and white card stock for my base and matting.  I then added a burlap and snowflake print DP.  The image (colored with Copics) takes center stage with just a bit of glitter glue around him for added effect.  This one certainly brings me love and joy!
