Make it Glow

There is a challenge over at the Make it Crafty Store blog and the theme this month is "Glow".

I really should be doing anything else but this however the image and subject called to me so... everything else got put on hold lol.  Zoe graciously offered up the Festive Lampost on the Facebook Group page for 24 hours and that got the fingers itchy to create.

I created two projects with the Festive Lampost.  Hopefully I will get the other done sometime this week.  For this first image, I have used Vixen Reindeer along with the Festive Lampost.  It doesn't have to be a complete project so for that I'm thankful lol.  I made a mask and airbrushed the background then got to it with my Copics.  I had some major issues with sticky markers and hope I rescued the image.  My bad so... those markers have now got a thorough cleaning.


I'm entering this in the Challenge.  Thanks for looking.

Hershey Kiss Santa (and friend)

Don't hate me lol.  I just need to start making Christmas projects, cards and more to get ahead of the game (that's my story and I'm stickin' to it).

Hershey Kiss Santa Claus
Brenda's (Qbee's Quest) done it again.  A too-cute, so easy project with... chocolate!  Hershey Kisses to be exact.  She's definitely the Queen of Hershey Kiss creations and her tutorials are always a big hit both for their uniqueness, easy-to-follow and very thorough instructions and they are oh-so-popular for gift-giving and decor.  Yes, call me a Brenda-groupie lol!

The latest is the Hershey Kiss Santa Claus and I have put my Shelley-twist on it.  Then I was having so much fun, I "had" to make an elf.  Thank you Brenda for all your valuable time in creating these wonderful tutorials so that we can make 'em in short order and gift them to get big smiles from the recipients.
