Today on Tangle Tuesday we are celebrating Three Kings Day. At the end of the Twelve Days of Christmas comes a day called the Epiphany, this holiday is celebrated as the day the three wise men first saw the baby Jesus and brought him gifts On this day in Spain, many children get their Christmas presents.
Fragment Friday will return in the new year. Today, I based my string for today's piece on the art of Rose Walton. I love the simplicity of this Madonna and child. The colors are the traditional medieval colors of red, green, blue, accents of gold.
Wishing all of you a blessed holiday season with family and friends.
Welcome to Tangle Tuesday! 5 days till Christmas! Where did the time go. So much to finish up in the next few days. But, that's half the fun, all the last minute hustle bustle.
Today's piece was inspired by the video by Eva Wu.
Wishing all of you a blessed holiday season.
Hey all! Welcome back to Tangle Tuesday!! Last week was a bit busy and I missed my TT posting. Today I am getting my holiday cheer on. This cute "Gnome for the Holidays" was inspired by a class by Loretta West at the Colour Garden Studio.
This was a fun project and the possibilities are endless! I hope all of you are getting your holiday on!
Welcome to Tangle Tuesday. Today i am tangling one of my favorite things. A dove/bird as a string.
Like I said in this blog, kit is never too early to start on next year's holiday cards. I am continuing to play along at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.
As you can see the theme is "little town". The perfect opportunity to use all those little house dies, that I have no idea who designed them. This card was inspired by a card I came across on the net and fit the brief for the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown perfectly.
I just notice d something that is off on my photograph. Can any of you see what it is?
You have till Friday evening to play along at 52 Christmas Throwdown. Check out what the DT has to inspire you.
I know, I know..... you are thinking ..... what Christmas cards already?!!? Well it's never to early to get started for next Christmas. 52 Christmas Throwdown has a fun monochromatic challenge that I wanted to play along with.
I love a monochromatic challenge and the browns are fun to use.
Today's card features "Holiday Gnomes" from Reverse Confetti with accents from Newton's Nook.
Here is the inside of my card.

Who doesn't like tags? They can be simple to miniature works of art. This week at Inky Paws we are asking you to make tags.Every year, I sell left over cards to folks at work. there is one person who is always looking for tags. So each year, I make a bunch of tags just for her.
I know there are going to be some very happy campers out there because some of you play along love to make tags. You know who you are and this challenge is for you!!!
All my tags today feature the new paper pad, "Meowy Christmas" and the tag die set both from Newton's Nook. All the elements are also from Newton's Nook. I will provide links in the description of each tag.
Tag 1 was the most time consuming, but for some one special it was worth putting in a bit more effort. The tag features "Poinsettia Blooms" and "Sentiments of the Season".
Tag 2, I embossed the background using this music stencil. Do you know how to use your stencils to emboss? It is a fun technique to stretch your stencils. The tag swag uses the "Pines and Holly" dies set.
Here is a quick video to dry emboss using your stencils.
Tag 3, is a bit more simple, just strips of paper from Meowy Christmas" and the image from "Purr-fect Present". Poor Newton looks kinda like a raccoon! Not my best coloring! LOL!!
Tag 4 is the easiest by far. Just strips of Meowy Christmas" paper and the sentiment added using the "Holiday Greetings" die set.
This will be our last challenge at Inky Paws for this year! So I hope you all play along and show us your tag creations! You have two weeks tom play along. We will chose a RANDOM entry to win a $20.00 Newton's Nook store gift certificate.
