Merry Christmas in January!

Well....I can't believe tomorrow is the 25th of the month already and of course I hadn't made a Christmas card yet.  Yes!!....I'm actually going to make a Christmas card every 25th of the month.  It might sound crazy (and I probably am) but they will sure come in handy when Christmas rolls around again.  This card is really simple and made with all Papertrey Ink products.  Their card stock and printed paper go together so well you can't go wrong!  So Merry Christmas in January!!  Thanks for stopping by!!  Have a great week!!

Christmas Invitation

It's our turn to have Christmas this year.  I wanted to keep the invitation simple, for a change :).  With Papertrey Ink supplies, they make it easy.  I love how their paper and felt match perfectly.  And I like how it turned out, if I do say so myself!! LOL!  Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back to post a couple Christmas cards later.

A Gift From Santa

I'm trying to get all of my Christmas cards done.  I think this is just about the last one.  I love these High Hope stamps.  I think the images are just adorable.  And Santa giving a puppy a present is just too precious!!  I think the sentiment says it all.  Wishing you a Merry Christmas filled with special memories!!

I Believe in Santa!

Do you believe in Santa??  It brings back memories of my brothers and sister waking up Christmas morning and seeing all of the gifts that Santa had left for us.  But.....we had to wait until we got back from church before we could open them!!!  One of my favorite memories of Christmas morning is on the way back home from church, my Dad would pretend to forget where we live and drive right by our street!!  All of us kids would just be screaming!!  "Dad you missed our street"!!!  He would just chuckle and make the right turn and we would be back home. 

This is a stamp I found from Flourishes.  I love the look on Santa's face.   So don't forget to make memories this Christmas.  Sometimes we get so busy that we forget the simple pleasures of the season.  Thanks for stopping by!!

Christmas Ornament

I got my new Gina K stamps in the mail Friday and knew I just had to try the ornament stamp with the Nestabilities.  Gina K has a color challenge on StampTV, so I thought I'd give it a try.  I love this color combination.  I think I will have to make a few more of these.  Thanks for stopping by!!  Don't forget to leave a comment!  I love to hear what you think!!

Christmas Card - October 2010

Do you believe we are at the end of October already?? Where did that month go anyway? I tried a couple of new things with this card. I made the flower using three different sizes of Marvy's retro flower punches. Then I sprayed it with water, crumbled it and after it dried I sprayed it with Marshmallow Glimmer Mist. Then I glued a glass pearl for the center.

For the background behind the flower, I used Spellbinder's Lotus Pendent. I got the idea from Selma from Selma's Stamping Corner (you can view her blog from my sideboard, she is amazing). She covered the back of the pendent so that it would pop. I thought it was so pretty, I had to try it. I think it turned out nice.

Thanks for stopping by!!! Only 60 days until Christmas!!! Yikes!!!

Christmas Blessings

Is it just me or is the 25th of the month coming around faster and faster?? I can't believe we have only 3 months until Christmas! My Christmas card today was made from one of my favorite stamps. I've had it for years and still love the image. I decided to stamp it twice so I could cut out part of one flower to give it some dimension. Hope you like it. Have a great weekend everyone!!

I can't believe it's the end of August already. Labor Day weekend is right around the corner. According to my Christmas Countdown tree, we only have 122 days left to the big day. Sorry I missed my July 25th Christmas card post, but sometimes things get so busy that something has to give. Hope you enjoy this card! Thanks for stopping by.

I know....Christmas? It is the 25th of the month. So I've decided to post a Christmas card every 25th of the month. Maybe as it gets closer to Christmas I'll have a few cards already done.
