Day 16 - N

Today I have a confessions to make. Beccy of Beccy's Place had a gorgeous no line coloring card for her N card and I wanted to try it out. So I used her tutorial to print off a scene with her Nativity Digital Stamps. I got through that part just fine. But when I tried to color it I couldn't see the lines. I have cataracts and the doctor has told me that I will need surgery but it wasn't critical so I let it go for now. So until then no line coloring isn't in my future. Bummer! So I switched tactics and decided on the North Pole.

The Santa image is from Limited Runs and is the progressive stamp of the month. I colored him with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut him out. I used Crystal Stickles on parts of his Santa suit. The sentiment us from the Creative Visions Holiday Greetings. It was still on my desk. The slopes are from two different sets. The one with the trees is called Scenic Winter. I believe these came in a craft magazine. I won them as a blog candy earlier this year. The other slopes are Simon Says Stitched Slopes and Hills. The star is from MFT Pierced Star die-namics. To finish off I used a white gel pen for some accents, including the white dots in the background. Originally I meant these to be stars but they also look like snow so you can take your pick. I am entering these challenges: 

• Beccy's Place A Month of Holiday Cards: Day 16 the letter N
• Limited Runs Progressive Challenge: use the Santa image
• Addicted to Stamps and More: holiday 
  
• CAS Christmas Card challenge: Santa 
  
• QKR Stampede: anything goes 
• Crafty Hazelnut Christmas: anything goes

The ice is slowly melting from our storm yesterday. Everything has gotten back to normal I think. Hoping to get some more time to play this afternoon. The twins will be here all day tomorrow so crafting will definitely be out while we play with them. Can't wait until they're a bit older and craft time will be fun! Take card. Have a super weekend!
