Well it's 'cookie exchange' day at my daughter's and I'm hoping the snow will hold off until I get down there and back! Oh no ... as I say that I look out the door and see that the rain has changed to snow! Aaawww ... I might not make it! Darn!!
Either way, I wanted to share this quick card with you I made this morning using one of my favorite *Wink *Wink Ink images. I just love this deer and Santa hat ... then when you put them together ... how cute is this!! (If I do say so myself!!)
(click on image to enlarge)
I have used Windows 7 - Microsoft Word 2010 to superimpose the hats onto my little deer herd. It's really not that difficult ... now if I could just figure out how to use my new Photoshop Elements 9 as easily!! Anyone have helpful hints or links to learn that software?? Please leave me a comment passing them on ... I can use all the help I can get!!Back to my card . . . The deer images are PRE-COLORED ... one of the perks of purchasing a *Wink *Wink Ink digi set! I've used Paper Studio dp, punched a fence with the Martha Stewart fence border punch from brown cs and added MS snowflakes. I've also added a touch of sparkle on the Santa hats using glue & Deco Art Glamour Dust.
Here are some challenges my card qualifies for:
Stamp Something - December Digi Days
