Christmas Critters…

More Christmas! I’m so excited about this huge head start…makes me feel like I just may be a little more organized this Christmas. Wonder if I should start making up my gift list? 😉 Just kidding! Actually…I used to start about August and really have all my shopping done in October. I think that was when I had less kids and I actually liked to shop!

Decorate the Season

These darling little critters are from the Tom Allen Friendly Kritters line. The image is absolutely adorable…don’t you love how they are decorating the cone instead of a tree? I’m hoping to find some time to make some Christmas decorations using this image. I colored this design using my Copic markers and some more of that gorgeous Basic Grey Figgy Pudding paper pad.

Quick Tip: When coloring with Copic markers…you can go back in with a white gel pen and add highlights to help make the image pop.

At CHF, we’re having on-line classes each Tuesday night to help you get a head start on Christmas. Tonight Lisa Strahl is our designer host with a great Kim Hughes project. I’m up for next Tuesday and the latest class on our line-up…
