Festive Welcome Peeker

*The Outlawz 1000 Member Party post  is below this posting*

Hello happy crafters! I don't know what the weather is like where you live but here in Maryland was a GORGEOUS day! Lots of sunshine, slight breeze and 68 degrees! .My g/f, Tammy lives in Idaho and they had snow this week!!!  I couldn't believe it and she sent us a picture! No, thank you!! I only want to see that white stuff on Christmas Eve and not a day before! One of our local stores has Christmas decorations already and we didn't even celebrate Halloween yet. I feel that takes the whole spirit out of the season. It was fun to look forward to Thanksgiving because the day after all the stores would have their decorations out and it was the beginning of the holiday season. I just don't get it.

Speaking of the season! I made my second Christmas Card this week using a cute stamp "Festive Welcome Peeker." from the Holiday Peekers over at SCACD!  I had a lot of fun playing with her with her big bow and gorgeous hat!


My leaves are laser cut chipboard by Make it Crafty. I colored them with Pearlized Smooch then applied Diamond Glaze and sprinkled them with red glitter. They are really bright and shining! Doodlebug crushed Lily White Flock was added to the bottom of her dress. I added glittery shine to her shoes with Stickles X-mas Red Stickles...I love this color for a vibrant red! I also put it on the reef in various places!

Copics: Skin: E11, E00, E000. Hair: E59, E31, E13. Blue: B29, B28, B24, B21. Red: R29, R27. R24. R22. Greens: Sorry I didn't keep tract.
Ribbon: Olfry
Pearls: Kaisercraft

Don't forget The Outlawz 1000 Member Party with over $800.00 in prizes. Lots of fun with Scavenger Hunts, Bingo, Name That Tune, 7 challenges and much more! Tons of fun!

Oozak.com also gave a $100.00 Gift Certificate!

  2. Hi Colleen, I am peeking in from the Outlawz Party and Hop. Your card is lovely. I just adore the Red, White and Blue color scheme. That peeker image is adorable (so are all the ones over at SCACD). The weather here in Ohio was sunny and warm the last few days. I don't wanna see snow yet either! LOL. I visited Maryland a few years back and it was lovely. It was a town called Havre de Grace. Are you close by?
    :O)
