The image has been printed just a little bit over 2 inches high, so she isn't very big.  printed three times, once in mirror.  Two of the images have been coloured with Copic pens and a white gel pen to finish.  

All three images have been fussy cut, with the two coloured images have a small sleigh bellss sewn into the hands.  The three images were then sandwiched together with glue and left to dry.  Once dry I punch a small hole in the bow and threaded through some red cord.

Six White Boomers

Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun.
Six white boomers, snow white boomers,
On his Australian run.

That is the chorus of a well known Australian Christmas Song about Santa using Kangaroos instead of Reindeer to visit Australia for Christmas, when it is the middle of summer and hot.

I haven't gone with white kangaroos, I've coloured them the more traditional colour.  I love this image and have made the card for a 4 year old.  Colouring the image with copics and touch pens, typed sentiments, glitter and liquid pearls complete the card.

Another Christmas Decoration

I started making these small decorations earlier in the year as a novelty, but they have come in hand, we now have a very small pup int he house and afraid our big tree might be a bit too much for her.  Definitely too much for me trying to decorate it and keep things away from her tiny paws.  So I bought a real small tree in a pot and placed it on a table out of harms way and the pups way as well.

This one is made from an image from The East Wind called Meowy Christmas.

Printed twice in mirror, (about 1.5 to 2 inches tall) then coloured with copic pens and fussy cut.   I use a glue stick to put them together, they dry hard.  Make a small hole in the top for something to hang them by.

Then comes the glitter, liquid pearls and glossy accents to complete the decoration.

This composite picture shows you both sides before the bling!

 And her she is all dressed up in her glitter 

(actually hanging on a garden tree to dry)

Our Christmas Present from Santa

This has been a long hard year for us with Mum being so ill and passing away at the age of 90.  In the midst of that sorrow we lost our little dog (11years old) from a sudden heart attack.  Perfectly healthy one moment, gone the next. It has been a long winter here and what seems a very very long year.

My husband has been desperate to find another dog, and at the weekend we found this tiny little puppy, who, withing 48 hours has taken control of the household. It doesn't take away the sorrow we will feel without Mum at Christmas this year, nor does she replace our little Sandy.  But she is the distraction we need, and she is dearly loved by all. 

The kit I have used is from Scrap Kitchen Designs, called "Christmas Past"
