Troll Ellie

I cannot tell a lie. I am smitten with the movie Trolls. I know it's for kids but it just makes me happy!

Lucky for me others must love the movie too as I'm seeing Troll stamps pop up at various stores! They are all on my wishlist! I did go ahead and get started on my Troll collection though by getting a digi from The Paper Nest Dolls called Troll Ellie. I just adore her and she was fun to color up!

The colors are a bit off as I just got a new light tent to take photos of my cards in and I'm learning it. Her hair is more pink than purple. :)

In the Christmas mood

I think after all these years I have finally found my love of Christmas again. I have been dreaming of Christmas cards to make and all things holiday, and as my best friend said, I have found my inner elf that has been hiding!

The only downfall is that right now is also when I decided to redo my stamp catalogs which is a HUGE undertaking so I'm not creating as much right now but I know it will be worth it in the end to have the stamp catalogs the way I want them.

I did get this card done and finally got it photographed to share. I am not pleased with my coloring on this at all as I think it's too dark but my family reassured me that it was fine. 

I'm entering this into the following challenges~

You're purrfect!

In my quest for cat stamps I discovered a new to me company, Clearly Besotted. Oh my word! They have some of the CUTEST stamps! I *had* to get their kitty cat set, You're Purrfect, (I got my set at Simon Says Stamp--linked below). I have a feeling that many more of their stamps will come to live at my house this year!

This is my first time using my MFT Blueprint dies for a card too. Wow does that help it go together quickly! More of those are going to have to come live at my house this year too!

Seriously, how adorable is that cat!!! {swoon} Can't wait to make more cards with this set for sure!!

For my card tonight I used this sketch from MFT~
