Notice the People Who Are Happy For You - Unity Planner Journal

I have wanted to colour up these little cuties forever!  And I especially love the sentiment!  The owls were coloured with copics and finished with some Stickles.  I created the border by masking off the centre and ink blended with my new Taylored Expressions blending brush set.  Then I added little white dots over the ink with a white gel pen.  It's always fun thinking of new ways to decorate my pages and still keep them flat and one layer.

The Chill of Winter - Unity Planner Journal

This was a fun simple page, just what I need sometimes when I feel the urge to craft - I coloured the trees with copics and added light blue to the background. Then I used some Nuvo Drops for the snow and to border the block words and called it done!

Believe In the Magic - 6 x 6 layout - and farewell to my boy

This is one of the last photos I have of my boy Sampson.  He has gone over the rainbow bridge now after a battle with cancer.  He would have been eight in February.  This one is going to hurt for a long long time.

I let the paper do the work in this case - it's designed by Unity Stamp Co., I only had to add the sentiment and a few enamel dots.  The die is from Simon Says Stamp and 'in the magic' is a Tim Holtz rub on.

I Love Santa - Christmas Tag

Gnomes sure have been a big thing this winter in craft land.  I couldn't resist this little Gnome Santa from Unity Stamp Co., the set is called Joy & Blessings designed by Angie Blom.  I coloured the images with my Derwent Intense pencils.  It was fun, I love how you can use different pressure to get the deeper shades.  The tag is outlined in white pigment ink.

City Sidewalks Busy Sidewalks - Unity Planner Journal

Ooooh this was a fun page to do - the image is coloured with copics and then I went over the green presents with a CTMH shimmer pen.  The background was inked with distress ink through a Newton's Nook Music Note stencil - I tried to tie in the background to the sentiment - whenever I read the sentiment I hear the song in my head.
