Hello Friends!! Welcome to Day 8. I hope you don’t mind a super quick post today… I have to get up in 4 hours to get on home and then I will go straight to the hospital … My step dad, David is having surgery so if you are the praying kind can you say a little prayer for him?
I have always loved this stamp called, “Carol Singers” even though it’s a holiday stamp it happens to be perfect for wintery card. I added music notes so it looks like they are singing.
After Christmas our family went on a little trip and I colored this while away. I thought I would save it for when I was at CHA.
I cut the ornament off the ear and turned the line into a little bow.
A quick background and vellum on top was a quick way to finish the card when I got home. I am looking forward to catching up to all the coloring. Enjoy your day and thanks for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

I have that stamp and love it too! Thanks for the idea of using it for winter and not just for holidays!
I hope your step-dad’s surgery is successful.
Thank you so much we need all the prayers we can get 🙂
You are sooooo clever. I must go through my holiday stamps and use my BRAIN and find new ways to use them. Thanks for giving us a clever idea. You’re the very best. Love the challenge…I always play along, but don’t do the facebook things. I love your posts. Thanks.
Prayers going out for a smooth surgery and recovery for David.
I love this stamp! Can not wait to see how you did the patterns, I love it!
Take care Kathy
Thank you so much, Christine. I appreciate all the prayers, so very much!
Great alterations and keeping your step dad in my prayers.
Thank you kindly, Sue! Much appreciated!
Great use of the Stamps! Cut the scarf tails off and your Bear is a folk singer or a hipster in a turtleneck. There you go into Autumn!
So cute. I bet we all have holiday stamps we could alter. I am imagining what song they are singing….saying a prayer for David and your family too. Safe travel.
Thank you very, very much, Anne!!!
What a great idea and how super cute. Would make a great Birthday Card any time o’ year.
Sending prayers for your step dad!
Love how you changed up that stamp! Beautiful coloring of course!
We can use all the prayers. Thank you, Carol.
I love how you created a wintery card with these carolers!
I don’t have this stamp Kathy, but I’ll tell you what I like: I liked the sentiment background, and the vellum to soften it a little so the focal image is still the star of the show. And the addition of the musical notes was the cherry on top! It’s the little details that take a card a notch up! Safe travels home, I know it’s a long flight, I made that flight every couple of months when we lived in Phoenix to visit with the kids – Vance made it several times a month for business. And yes, prayers for a good report for your step-father.
Thank you, Susie!
Love your card and the idea to make it a winter card! I love your background.
Hope everything turns out well for your step dad, I will be thinking of you both.
Thank you very much, Henriette. I appreciate your thoughts.
Prayer prayed. I prayed for David’s quick healing.
I want to tell you I absolutely love your critters.
Barbara
Thank you kindly for the prayers, Barbara.
What a great idea. I love how you added so much pattern to the clothing.
Very cute card–love how you turned it into a non-holiday card! Yes, I’m praying now for you step-Dad, pray all goes well with his surgery and he rehabs well! I wish I could have seen you while you were here, I’ve seen lots of your video’s and others. Creativation was so close to home, but alas, I’m not in the industry! Safe travels.
Thank you so much for all the prayers, Sheri! We certainly need all the prayers we can get!
Sending lots of hugs and prayers to you and family! Praying for successful surgery followed by a speedy recovery. ❤️
Thank you sweet, Jenny!
I LOVE IT when you can alter stamps, Kathy! It just creates something SO YOUR OWN!!! IF this is for your Step-Dad, I’m SURE he will appreciate it! Yes,I’ll be praying for him today! Have a SAFE TRIP HOME!!! 😉
I appreciate the prayers and kind words, Becky. Thank you.
I love the fun patterns you put on their clothing. Wishing your step dad a successful surgery!
This is SO cute! Have a safe flight home, and prayers to your step dad!
Thank you so very much, Avra!
I absolutely adored this card! The detail on the clothing was incredible! And it was fun to see how you used Christmas stamps as winter stamps. I rarely buy Christmas stamps because I know they will be packed away for almost a year. thanks for posting this even while preparing to go to the hospital. Blessings and prayers for your step dad.
Oh Robin thank you so much! Your compliments made me smile and I appreciate all the prayers so very much!
This is a great idea. I have quite a few winter images Christmas theme images and I hate that they are only used once a year. I think often of what can I do. this is a great idea.
My prayers for your safe trip home and a big prayer for your step father and your family.
Thank you, Billie!!!!
Awww Kathy, I AM the Praying type YES!! I took a few minutes right now and when I say my prayers tonight I promise you, your Step Dad will be in them along with you and the rest of your family, Try not to worry, just Pray and put it into God’s hands Kathy, and it will be allright.
Bless you, your family and most importantly your step DAD !!!!
Hugs
Thank you so so so much, Tracey. Bless you for your kindness and prayers as we certainly need them right now.
Aw, this is so sweet and clever, Kathy!! I always ADORE your patterns you create ond your teeny tiny details you add – so precious!!
And of course I will pray for your step dad too! And keeping my fingers crossed that everything will go well!
Hugs & take care!
Awe, Tina …. thank you so much!
Kathy – I hope all went well for your step-dad and he makes a full recovery. Prayers and well -wishes are being sent your way.
Thank you for keeping our colouring community alive with your posts, your giggle, your “mistakes’ (which never seem to be mistakes) and for just being you. There are many days I look to you to lift me up.
Oh Erna thank you for your prayers and well wishes as well as your super sweet words to me. Your comment means a lot to me so thank you very much!
I love what you did with the bunny’s ear and how you made a Christmas stamp into a stamp you could use anytime of the year. I have some stamps that are Christmas but they could also be winter like snowflakes or snowmen. I’ve never thought to do that but you gave me a great idea. I love when that happens! Thank you so much!
Every night and day I pray for everyone I know and I don’t know, living or dead in this whole world so you and your step-dad are in my prayers everyday. Then I pray especially for anybody who asked me for prayers or who I said I would pray for so you are good to go!
I could use some prayers from you too. Every year my sister does The Big E, the 5th largest fair in the country. There is this nice couple near us whose husband makes wooden things with a lathe. The wife had a mastectomy and then they found cancer in other parts of her body. She was doing better and now my sister told me she is on hospice and she doesn’t have long. I feel so sad and I was crying before. Her husband and her did lots of fairs but they were going to retire, now this. I know you can pray for people who are dying too and I know you are a Christian so you will. Thank you so much. I want to meet you so bad! I wish you lived closer.
Thank you, Gail!
So inspiring to color all those designs into the sweaters and outfits! You blow my mind!! Thank you for all you do and am keeping David and your family in my prayers! Hugs!
Thank you kindly, Beverly. It means a lot to me!
Oh those rich colors! And the plaids, stripes….
Sending prayers!
Thank you, Tara!
