Happy Tuesday everyone!  Today is a hectic day as I prepare to go to visit with the family of my dear friend Ruby.  I pray I can be cheerful and give  them strength or uplift them in some way again today in their loss of a wife, mother, sister and daughter.  It is so hard...

Today I am posting two creations since tomorrow I will be attending a luncheon, funeral and memorial service and won't be able to post.

The first creation is created using the NEW Designer paper designed and created by Whimsy (Holiday folly and Very Merry) and the adorable Whimsy Holly Beary designed by Meljen's (this is a rubber stamp).  The image is colored with copics.
The layout uses the Midnight Madness Sketch.



The flourishes are created with the nestabilities florished accents dies on glitter paper from K& Co. The flowers are from Wild Orchids. The snowflakes are snowflake buttons I bought from JoAnnes.
My second creation uses the adorable Fhiona's Gingerbread House from Your Next Stamp.  It is colored with copics.  The dp used is the new Basic Grey Curio paper.  It is not a Christmas paper but it seemed to fit so beautifully with the warm tones. I embossed it with soft swirls from Cuttlebug.
