Warm Wishes

Larisa here bringing you warm wishes!  Hope you are staying warm wherever you are!  Here in Texas, it's pretty chilly so I thought this sweet little card would be quite fitting :)  This is Latte Lizzie and I think she's just adorable.  Even though I'm really not much of a coffee drinker, I'm always a sucker for coffee images.  I just think they're so cute!  So, when I saw this little sweetheart, I knew I had to make a card with her!  I also used one of the sentiments from the Holiday Sentiments Collection.  It fits perfectly!  Some matching papers and viola! One warm winter card! Please visit my blog for more details! 

Thanks for stopping by and stay warm out there!

Holiday cheer

Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I added my cards to the blog and what better time to start then a new year!! I've been hanging on to these cards so long I forgot about them.  So the theme is over but I think I can still get away with sharing them :)
I used the digi stamp set "Santa and Friends" to make the following cards.

Thanks for stopping by

Hello from Doodlelicious Diva Larisa

 

 

 

Well, Hello there!  Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself in the midst of this busy holiday season.  No doubt you are finishing up your holiday shopping right about now and are hopefully ready for the fun and magic that awaits!  Personally, I am running around like a crazy person which is always what happens right before Christmas.  I usually have way too much on my plate and never enough time :)  But enough about that... I'm supposed to introduce myself!

 

 

 

Hello, my name is Larisa Hohman and I'm a craft-a-holic!  Like many crafters, I have been doing this for quite some time.  (about 15 years).  I started with scrapbooking and eventually discovered Copic markers.  That was all it took, I was hooked!  It opened a world of crafting possibilities that I didn't even know existed.  $2 Bizillion dollars later... I now have a decent stash of Copics and like Kel, I also have an out-of-control supply of crafting "stuff."  I would ask if there's a support group I can join, but let's be honest, I don't really want to get "better" :) 

 

I am happily married to my sweet hubby of 8 years and just recently had an adorable baby boy.  He is the MOST amazing thing that has ever happened to me and we are so blessed to have him!  I am a high school English teacher (but please don't grade my grammar)  and a part time senior photographer.  I love to bake, watch scary movies, and spend time with my little one.  Oh, and of course I LOVE stamping.  I can't tell you how excited I am to be apart of this Design team.  I have been a fan of Whimsie Doodles since the day they started and I've just been waiting for them to have a DT call.  I can't wait to share my creations with you so be sure to visit my blog and check out all my projects :) 

Ok, thanks for letting me chat your ear off.  Sometimes I can be a little long winded :)

 

Now, on to the cards:

 

 

 

For this sweet little card, I used Stocking Goodies.  This is one of my absolute favorite stamps.  I just love how cute she is in her PJ's, checking to see what Santa left her!  I just colored her up with my Copics, found some cute holiday paper, and there you go!  The sentiment is also from Whimsie Doodles.  It's part of the Holiday Sentiments Collection. 

 

 

Now, I couldn't stop there... remember, I told you I'm a craft-a-holic!  So I also created a card with this little guy.  This is Happy Elf.  Isn't he just the cutest!  The minute I saw him, I knew I had to make a card with him!  I decided to really bling this one out and make it fun!  So, I added some ornament stickers to the top and some random snowflake stamps.  What a cutie! 

 

And that's all folks!  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a Merry and Safe Christmas!

Warm Winter Wishes

I love making winter cards using different shades of blues and whites/creams. Most years I send out New Year's greetings instead of Christmas, because I have more time to write personal notes. I usually make a different card for everyone, and don't do assembly line creating. This one uses an image from the Holiday Sentiments Collection. My favorite embellishments are shabby bows, pearls and rhinestones -- and glitter!  The snowflake behind the sentiment has a beautiful glittery sheen.

 

Here is the entire Holiday Sentiments collection -- I love the different fonts in this one!

 

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful New Year filled with lots of crafting time!

Stamps: Holiday Sentiments by Whimsie Doodles
