SASSY CHERYL'S FEATURED FRIEND #7

Guess what I am Sassy Cheryl's Featured Friend # 7.  That means she will feature my blog all week and I get to show some of the cards I have been working on.  Any of you who follow my blog regularly know how I love Sassy Cheryl's Digis.  I have seen a lot of stamps, both digi and rubber that "I just have to have", but Cheryl Alger's strike a cord in my heart and my memories.  Her creations are so personal to me and from the comments I have been reading on other blogs, they are very personal to many of you too!  Hop on over to her store and treat yourself to one or two of her artworks.  Better yet let Santa know you would absolutely love a gift certificate from her shop.  Go ahead, click right here and check them out!

The digi I used this week is called the Bell Ringer.  I have been in a "brown" mood for awhile now, so I colored him brown with my Copics and topped him off in orchid and gray.  I embossed some ivory cardstock by using the Allegro Cuttlebug folder, rubbed with some Soft Suede ink (Stampin Up) and ran it through my Cuttlebug.  I cut it in half and angled the paper for interest.  The image and mat are cut from Labels #10 Nestabillities.  The ribbon is from my stash and the grey pearls are from Queen & Co.  The paper is from Anna Griffin and I have had it for years.  The snowflake is Martha Stewart.

It is different from what I have been making lately.  I sent it to my brother and his wife  in Virginia, it just kinda felt right for them.  I hope they liked it.

Thanks for popping in and checking out my bog.  I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and the most blessed of New Years!
