Christmas Art of My Granddaughter’s

Hello, crafting friends! It has been years since I last posted to my site and I’m posting today at the request of my very special and precious 9-year old granddaughter, Mikayla. I spent time crafting with her for Christmas, and she asked that I post her work on my site. Therefore, I am granting her request by sharing her beautiful pieces of artwork. I love crafting with her as she is so creative and I am so proud of her and her work. The photo below is the first of three pieces of her work.

She made the above piece of art starting with a piece of cardstock that was embossed with the Spellbinders Scenic Poinsettias 3D Embossing Folder. Using the Tim Holtz Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink and a blending brush, she covered selected poinsettias in blue. The leaves and center poinsettia were colored with markers. She added three Spellbinders buttons on the front and wrote, “Merry Christmas” on the back of the cardstock.

Her second piece of art is a small snowman’s head made from a Tealight Candle to which she added a snowman hat, eyes, smile and a metallic thread around the hat. It is so cute when the light is on. She made this for her little brother.

She made her third piece of art for her little sister. It is a floral bouquet. She made the floral stems with flowers I had made years ago from Heartfelt Creations products, and adhered the flowers to wooden dowels. She inserted the floral stems into a funnel-shaped piece of cardstock that she made.

I hope you enjoy her art as much as I do! I am sure she would be excited to receive comments on her work! Any comment will be visible upon approval.

Heartfelt Creations Merry and Bright Collection Shaker Card

Heartfelt Creations Merry and Bright Collection Shaker Card

Mrs. Robin (Stamperrobin) on Splitcoaststampers (SCS) provided an awesome challenge for today’s Free For All Challenge!  She asked that we just be ourselves and create a card that reflects our style.  I think that Robin’s challenge is the best yet for a Free For All Challenge!!  I created this Heartfelt Creations Merry and Bright Collection Shaker Card for the challenge.

I enjoy making various styles of cards, but I love making cards with lots of elements and layers.  I love making floral cards, but I especially love making wintry, snowman, and Christmas cards.  Thus, that is my style.

“Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.  For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?  Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?”

Revelation 3:11-13

“I am coming soon.  Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.  Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God.  Never again will he leave it.  I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.  He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Penny Black Tulip Bouquet Card

Penny Black Tulip Bouquet Card

Hello!!  Welcome to Guneaux Designs!  My card share today features a new stamp from Penny Black; the Penny Black Tulip Bouquet.  I created the card to submit to today’s color challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com.  The hostess for the color challenge selected the Stampin’ Up! (SU) colors of Tranquil Tide, Sweet Sugarplum, and Rich Razzleberry.  This week’s dessert option is to make a one-layer card.  My card is a one-layer card and I used Copic sketch markers closely related to the color combination to color the Penny Black Tulip Bouquet image on my card.

 


Psalm 34:11-16

“Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.  Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.  Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.  The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry; the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.”
