Coffee, Tea or Gingerbread

I'm a big fan of gingerbread, both the edible kind and the decorating kind, and I have a handful of cute gingerbread boys and girls as stamps and dies. This digi came from the Craftin Desert Divas shop, and I cut out a Doodlebug tea cup to give him. He's cute, amma right? 


He comes in color and line art. I printed him in color but my printer started to run out of a vital ink and he came up looking less than tasty. So I took my Prismacolor pencils and made him look more like gingerbread. The bg paper is Doodlebug, as is the sentiment strip. I'm entering him in the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and you can join me until Friday evening to try to win one of the gazillion prizes!



Come back tomorrow to see who won my four Thanksgiving giveaways (you have until 11:59pm Eastern tonight to enter, just scroll down to the four posts)!

Happy Thursday!

Fourth Freebie Friday

Okay, friends, this is the last of four giveaways this month...this one is open internationally and features some specialty papers, stencils, sequins and more. All you have to do is leave a comment here and/or on Instagram (click on the sidebar) and you're entered, it's that simple. There are more chances to be entered on IG if you tag friends or repost as well.

This is a pic of just some of the goodies you'll receive if you win this week's prize.


And I also have to share some cutey gingerbread boys that I got from Craftin Desert Divas. Their stamps are just so great and they had a sale and I totally got a couple digis I've been eyeing. They also carry real stamps, but I like the immediacy of digis sometimes. 

I had to get a lot of cards ready quickly, so I printed the already colored versions (there are line drawings included too). However, after the fourth page, my printer began to run out of color, so they were looking a little anemic. I used some Prismacolor pencils to shade and bring back their toasty colors. And added some highlights with white gel pen. I'm totally a fan of gingerbread boys/girls. They make me happy and these are super cute!



Good luck with the four giveaways! The deadline to enter is extended to December 6, 11:59 pm and the 4 winners will be announced the following day here and on IG.

Happy Weekend!

Craftin Desert Divas Cute Penguin Card

I got this penguin digi stamp as a freebie from Craftin Desert Divas and Kit and Clowder. You can pick him up for 99 cents if you think he's as cute as I do.


I printed and colored him with Prismacolor pencils, then made an ornament with Hero Arts Ornaments Infinity Dies and Distress Oxides on kraft paper. I fussy cut, adhered him to the ornament and added Distress white ink for snow. So fun to color!

Getting down to the wire for the big Christmas celebration, so I'm off to finish up some shopping!

Happy Friday!
