Holiday Happiness

I'm trying to get a head start on my Christmas cards so here is the first one I've made.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can continue to make these on a regular basis so I don't get so far behind like I did last year that I end up sending out store bought cards.  Just a warning that you may be seeing Holiday cards from me often.   
This darling little bear is a Di's Digi image and I colored it with Copics. I used Flower Soft on the brim of his hat and the ball at the end of his little hat.   I dotted around the circles on both the image and sentiment.  I used SB dies  and the paper is from a gift of papers I received from a blogger friend. 
Thanks a bunch for your visit and I'm wishing you all a great day.

  12. Your card is just adorable, Donna. Plus, you colored it perfectly. I think I have one Christmas card made so you're going to get ahead of me. While you're snowed in, you could get a bunch made.
    I think we are having another winter storm watch or warning for tomorrow but it will be a breeze compared to your weather. It's almost March so maybe you will thaw out soon. I'm just looking forward to Daylight Saving Time....less than two weeks away now. I hate these looooong nights.

  19. How did I get so far behind on visiting? Working too much, I guess. I adore this little teddy bear but admit I'm not ready to even think about anything Christmas related yet. Of course, you have the snow for it, don't you? :-D
