Hi there! Today I have a couple of projects to share. First up is a rather clean and simple Christmas card featuring stamps from PTI's Harvest Berries and Signature Christmas.

For sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with Freshly Made Sketches:

and for color inspiration, I'm joining along with the Paper Players challenge:

Up next is a small study of an oil painted sunflower on a 5" x 7" canvas:

I'm linking my painting to the Paint Party Friday and the 30 in 30 Day 14 site:

Many thanks for stopping by ~ hope you have a great day!
Be Sweet ;)
