The Back Stories With Darnell and Cornelia - #14 Felix

Felix  Felix  wasn't paying much attention to his surroundings. He had just left through the back door of the paint factory where he worked. He hoped the boss hadn't seen him because he had been fired from every other company in Franklin Township due to his insatiable curiosity. The truth was, he was a living cartoon stereotype of a cat. And now he'd done it again. As he slowed to a lope and stopped, Felix realized he was standing in the alley behind Miss Peterson's house. She taught piano lessons. “Great,” Felix thought, “all I need is for one of those kids to see that I spilled pink paint all over myself!” He knew they would taunt him mercilessly, just as they had done before with the mustard, and then another time with the feathers, and all the rest. Felix hurried further down the alley looking right and left for somewhere to hide. When he reached the dead end, he sat down, thoroughly dejected. Time slowly passed and Felix became aware that clouds ...

Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps - Poinsettia Christmas Card

Hi Everybody, just as promised - another Christmas card. What else, at this time of the year, right? ! This is another easy one. I took photo paper as background. Stamped the wonderful Poinsettia  and sprinkled Brushos on it. I used red and yellow. I then sprinkled a bit of green onto my craft mat and just minimally dipped my finger in it and added ti to the tips of the leaves to have a more controlled color application. Added the sentiment.

Stamp Connection #54

Hi Everyone, Connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Tanja from   Little Art Cottage   and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 2nd Sunday of the month and this is our 54th transatlantic get-together! This time it was Tanja's turn to pick the requirements: CAS Christmas This was of course super easy to make. I took this glitzi Washi tape and dded the die cuts (Whittle dies from Poppy Stamps) I only agonized a little bit about how to place the deer and  a lot more about what sentiment to use and how to place it......funny, how things go. But I am probably not the only one agonizing about those things. I am pretty sure you all go through this process at least every once in a while.... Here is a slightly different view. It glitters really nicely! and I just love those slightly bedraggled looking deer! Lets check out   Tanj...
