Hi Lainy and Toni, Thanks for your compliments on the Christmas Card. Toni - I started out with those colored pencils, so they are dear to my heart. I got them for Christmas one year and loved them so much I could not stop drawing. Oh please I must see your drawings, how nice. I have colored pencil work from way back, but this card piece was done in black ink, which is hard because it is not easy if you mess up. Then the whole thing was printed professionally at a company I worked at. You can white ink, out but then the original looks rather messy, and it is hard to put ink on the whited out area. It is hard to do, but lots of fun. You have to use a very fine point of a pen - technical pen. I need to resume doing it again. I let my work slide too much in past years.
Toni - that little smiley guy is funny, too! and I love your string of smiley balls on the garland...so cute and lively like you! Lainy I like your smilies, too as I like you the same.
I will just post the card now and then this week because it kind of hogs the thread a bit. Maybe I should take out the little one in signature, what do you all think?
