BIG Wishes

Hi,

When I was a child each year my father would give me an advent calendar and I'm upholding this nice tradition
with my daughter and her calendar is already on day 7! Time is not on our side this December month.

This month's challenge at Some odd girl  is to create your own background.
I made a background in Photoshop. I started with a blank "canvas", colored the background blue and with a preset
brush I made the snowflakes. I also made the sides blurry.

I colored little Miss Tia also in Photoshop and the stamped sentiment is from the december
card kit from Simon says stamp.

I'm entering this tag in these challenges:

Christmas houses cards

Hi,

I love the houses stamps in the Cinnamon Spice kit from Studio calico. The kit is sold out, but there
are also digital stamp brushes for sale and that is just right up my street.
So I purshased the stamp set and started thinking of a way to use them and playing with the brushes and stamps in Photoshop.
I made four cards in the end all with the same Christmas houses but in different ways.
Most color changing was done in Photoshop.

The night sky I made using a gradient background and added stars with PS brushes. 

Then I placed the sentiment en houses on that background.

More traditional colors. This time I changed the color of the sentiment in Word.

CAS with little lights.

Which one do you like best?

More Christmas cards

Hi,

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are doing well!

Today I want to share with you two christmas cards I made. Although there are not my best creations I decided to show them anyway.

The first card I made for this weeks challenge at mojo monday.
http://mojomonday.blogspot.nl/2012/08/mojo-monday-256.html

It is a sketch.

I decided to go for the square this time.

The paper and clipboard pieces are from College press Joyride. I love this collection. 

The other christmas card is one with bright colors. 

The paper is from Echo Park "Holly Jolly Christmas". 

The digital stamp is from pure innocence (I think I bought it on Etsy) . 

I colored the stamp using Photoshop.

Well, I hope you like these two cards.

Your comments are much appreciated. Until soon.
