Happy Saturday!!!

Hello everyone...hope you are all having a great weekend!!! I have been shopping, shopping, and shopping!!! I tell myself every year that I am going to start my Christmas shopping early and every year I always make the mad scramble the last week. I will finish my Christmas cards tonight so I can concentrate on finishing all my shopping next week. Anyway...enough whining!!



I made this card today for the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast. Stef picked a great Etsy store called Sushipot. I really liked the collage layout of the Bricolage #43 with Poultry. I didn't have the right poultry stamps so I used woodland critters from Clear Dollar Stamps December Stamp of the Month set called Critter Log. I sewed around some of the squares, (I would have sewn around them all but my one and only needle broke...grrrr!!) stamped all the images twice, colored them with copics, and popped them with glue dots and dimensionals. Buttons tied with twine and ribbon finish it off.


Recipe:
Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps December Stamp of the Month
Paper: White, Really Rust, Chocolate Chip, Basic Grey's Mellow, Daisy D's
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Bashful Blue for the sky

This is one of the cards I made for my Christmas cards this year. It is really flat for easy mailing. I used Rubbernecker's Snowflakes and Stardust tree image and the edges were punched with an EK Success scalloped border punch. Blingy stickers and a ribbon to finish it off.

Recipe:
Stamps: Rubbernecker
Paper: Scarlet Jewel by PTI, Brazzill Green, Very Vanilla, Karen Foster dp

This card was designed by my DD Holly for the Austin Area SCS Christmas Swap I went to last weekend. She used a diecut card form Creative Cuts and More...the stamped trees (Stampin Up!) were attached to the Sahara Sand layer and then it was attached to the inside of the front...such a cool look!!! Since I smudged ink on the front edge, I used the EK Success Scalloped Border punch along the side to eliminate the smudge....don't ya just love this craft!!! You can always fix a mistake and no one knows what happened!!!

Thanks for visiting today...now I'm off to Target to find a Legos boat...hope they aren't all gone!!!
