This photo was taken while I was sitting and waiting for my children to
get out of class at their dance studio.
The tree is simple and white with silver and teal decorations all over it.
That was the inspiration for the cards I created to share with you today.
These next cards were created using Fresh Brewed Designs
NEWEST digital stamps!
There were 7 stamps released today.
{Excuse the poor lighting on these cards. It has been raining here the past
few days and I could not get a great photo ... :-( }
I decided to draw a few dance images.
It is what I have been doing with most of my time after all. :-)
I was not ever a dancer. I was a tom boy. I climbed trees and played with bugs.
However, if I WERE a ballerina, I would be one who danced and had my latte in hand the entire time :) tee hee hee. This is also true for my daughters dance teacher, Marice.
She LOVES coffee.
We get along well ;-)
My first card features the new digi
I tried to get a photo to show off the sparkle, embossed vellum
and the little snowballs, but, again, poor lighting.
Hope you can see it a little bit ;-)

My children are also performing in this years Nutcracker ballet
at the new studio. I am so excited. My daughter has a few parts and my
son was asked to be in the party / battle scene with Fritz and the other party boys.
They get swords and don't really have to do ballet. Of course he was in!
I drew this image in honor of a beloved Christmas tradition for many-
This card has a lot of shine.
The background paper is shimmery and the paper behind the nutcracker image is a metalic
silver card stock. I added crystal stickles to the white flourishes
and to the ballerinas dress. And silver stickles make the nutcracker shine.
*you will be happy to know that my artistic daughter looked at the first version of
this image and made a crinkly face. She said his face was too round and his
eyes looked mean. When I looked at it, it looked as if he were there to eat
the poor ballerina! HAHAHA!!!
So you get the good one. I will keep the bad one to go and look at from time
to time and laugh :-)
