This lovely Christmas card is from Pam. She sent this in quite a bit ago and I waited to post it. I think it’s just lovely.

Who wouldn’t want to keep track of their chores with this darling little chore chart Pam’s created. She laid out the days of the week along the top and the “Chores to do” down the left. There’s room in the boxes for a gold star – yeah! And if you click on the picture you’ll get a detail of the orange framed part of the picture.

I’m seriously contemplating…would I be more likely to do my grown up chores if I had a chore chart and a box of gold star stickers? Hmmm…

Long before Twitter and Tweeting there were the original Tweeters..birds.  Pam’s created a project showcasing a new home specially made for Crackers and Keebler. She started out with an A2 shaped card (4 ¼ ” x 5 ½ ”) and went from there. The basic shapes are pretty simple…the house, a circle, the roof – which looks like a humongous photo corner. I think her orange accent throughout (the birds, the saying and even the embroidery floss) really add a great little pop of color.

Home tweet home!

Here’s Pam’s Tombow marker coloring chart:

Pam’s created another great card! This one features Arthur Alooishus and a “cool dude” sentiment – great card for a little boy. She stamped Arthur bear and then stamped his shirt again on another piece of paper, colored and cut it out. A great layered effect. I think the black and white ribbon and sentiment on the little tag are wonderful details – that little something extra. :)

It’s a snowball fight! Pam’s sent in another wonderful card and Tombow coloring chart. I think the bright cheery colors really stand out against the winter white background. And using Stickles for some snow sparkle really adds a great detail.

Now watch out ’cause Cora’s ready to throw another snowball!

Do you remember looking up at the stars when you were a kid and wishing? Or maybe it’s even something you do now. When I originally drew Mia, teddy, Sweet Pea and James looking up I thought of so many things they could be looking at – stars, cloud shapes, birds…

I think Pam did a lovely job and has once again made wonderful use of her Tombow markers – such an eye for shading!

To make the twinkling stars in the night sky – she used the blade of her cutting knife to scrape off the watercoloring to reveal the plain watercolor paper underneath. That is a nice, neat way to show the light paper when you need to. What a great technique! But she also says, just be careful not to press so hard that you rip your paper and scene!

Other supplies:
CS – (Bazzill); Paper –Accademia (Fabriano); Ink – Black StazOn (Tsukineko); Tombow markers, waterbrush, foam tape, black hemp twine (CTMH), computer generated poem.

This card is so serene and lovely. Pam’s really outdone herself with her coloring technique.

She started this scene (this is actually just one stamp) by stamping the image and then coloring the water below the image.

Then she stamped the same image using a regular black ink (not StazOn) onto a clear acetate sheet. She immediately turned it over, ink side down, onto the water right below the main image – so that it looked like the shadow of the shoreline reflecting n the water.

After completely coloring the entire scene – she used Liquid Applique to put snow on the mountain top. But before she heated it up to puff it, sprinkled loose glitter on the wet Liquid Applique – so that it sparkles when it puffed up.

Here is her Tombow marker coloring chart:

Pam said this wasn’t one of her usual card themes but I don’t think she could resist! I agree with her sentiment – some days you’re the fire hydrant but sometimes you get to be the dog! Woof! I love use use of the black borders to give importance to each piece. And the little black bow, I’m sure Mr. Peedles would love – hopefully not to chew on though. :)

Pam called this a “very big read”. Ms. Eggworth reminded her of the story of the Little Red Hen – the very first book she received when she had her daughter. She says they’ve spent many hours reading this story and even named her children – Peep, Peep and Peep Jr. What a lovely memory.

Here’s a bit of a detail shot of the card. Pam’s coloring technique utilized Gamsol and colored pencils. She also gave Ms. Eggworth’s glasses a bit of realism by adding Liquid Glass. I’m sure Ms. Eggworth thanks her. :) Wonderful card Pam!

Gwendaline packed her bag and is ready to head off to the beach! This is the girl version of a bag and card combination Pam created (see previous post for boy version). Too cute for words! Gwendaline’s red hair shines against her green hat and purple swimsuit! Now if Pam would stop creating cookie box projects with such tasty treats maybe I could pull out my swimsuit and join Gwendaline. :)

Pam created a coloring chart for this card which you can see on her blog.

Going to the beach never looked so good! This is the boy version of a bag and card combination Pam created. I love the teal blue and red combination – makes me want to get out my snorkel and fins! And the little dragonfly – just the perfect touch.

Sweet Lilly and her box of fairy dust never looked so lovely. Pam created this card using patterned paper and a big tulip sticker. I love how she layered Sweet Lilly the fairy – gave her dress some sparkle just like the tulip.

And just to get your mouths watering she included a picture of the inside too!
