Hi crafty friends! What's up this week? I'm not up to too much around here. Later today I'm meeting up with my friend Wendy for some girl talk and lunch but other than that, the week is pretty mellow. I am getting over a cold and trying to lay low and take care of myself. I'm feeling my age in aches and pains lately. Getting old ain't for sissies - whoever said that was right on the money. Learning to show myself grace and slow down when I need to. That's hard for me - the girl who's been going 100 miles an hour her entire life and was born with a day planner in her tiny hand. But, God has a way of showing us the next steps.... The fuzzy blankets are on the bed and we are all ready for snuggle season. Lucky loves to burrow into a blanket and hide out - he's a world class snuggler for sure.
Today I'm sharing a couple of sweet and simple Christmas cards made with the wonderful stamps from Flora and Fauna Clear. I love their style and love to sit and mix and match my stamp sets to create scenes. Today it's a llama and a reindeer-icorn! LOL. Some pretty patterned paper and watercolors make for quick one layer cards that are sure to make someone smile! Both ards are A2 and are the kraft prefolded cards from Scrapbook.com (supplies at the bottom of my post). I like these notecards because the kraft is a bit darker and earthier.
This adorable mini reindeer set comes with a unicorn horn! EEP. It's a little Christmas unicorn reindeer thingee. Ha! I used some branches to frame it and stamped some snow too. I used a brush and clean water to smudge the aqua ink a bit to look water colored. The images on both cards were colored with Daniel Smith Watercolor Dots.
A few Nuvo Crystal Drops in red for holly berries!
Fleece Navidad! OMG I loooooove this! That little llama with his festive scarf! I made him out Christmas tree shopping! I stamped a couple of trees and then stamped the banner in between then. Doesn't he look like he's out on the lot? These stamps seriously just make me smile. They are so whimsical and cheerful.
Cheerful wishes to you! As always, be sure to pop over to the Flora and Fauna Blog to show them some love! Thanks for coming by today to see me. Have a blessed and creative day! XOXO
SUPPLIES FOR TODAY!
You always make beautiful cards and provide great process details. I love Flora & Fauna and am so glad to see them in your cards. These are particularly adorable!

Both of these are too sweet- love the lashes on the reindeer- showing lamas everywhere this year.

It seems as though llamas and gnomes are popping up everywhere this Christmas. I was out for lunch and a little shopping yesterday and found some of both in the seasonal decorating departments. This is a cute duo and I am going to check out those note cards on Scrapbook.com. It is snowing right now so I am going to work on my Christmas cards. Hope you feel better and have a good weekend.
