Vintage Santa


Happy Monday, everyone!  It's back to the regular routine, right?  I, for one, had such a relaxing holiday, it's going to take me more than one day to get back into the swing of things!  I am getting right back into the groove of making Christmas cards so I don't get caught short for 2016, and I am using the Pals Paper Arts sketch and the Christmas Card Challenge colors.

                               12-24 PPA 281

After looking at the photo of my card, I realize my "brown" panel has more than a touch of green in it!  But at least my ribbon and sentiment follow that neutral brown!  Here we go:


I don't think I got a chance to use this vintage Santa from C9 Stamps last year, so I inked him up in Cherry Cobbler and stamped the Linen background in Sahara Sand, then sponged the edges:


I used SU's new Timeless Textures to do some background stamping and then added a Waltzingmouse sentiment on my Authentique Two Christmases in One DSP.  


My final touch was some Champagne glimmer paper punched branches, a Soft Suede ribbon and a few sequins!

I got Cassidy a potholder loom for Christmas!  She did really well with it (besides goofing around)!




It was fun to watch Dana teach her how to do it, as Dana remembers making these as well!  When I was little, I made loom potholders and sold them for 50 cents in my Pop Pop's florist shop.  The money I earned, I spent at the Wildwood, NJ, boardwalk, when my Nan would take us on vacation!  What treasured memories!  Enjoy your day!

CYCI72


Happy Monday, everyone!  It's hot, sticky, steamy and wet today, but I am happy for the rain we got last night.  Now my yard needs to be mowed - AGAIN - but I have been praying for all those Texans who got waaay too much.  Yikes!  Speaking of rain, I have an "umbrella" card...well, a shower card, for you today.  I had another customer who needed a bridal shower card, so I used the sketch from Can You Case It this week:

CYCI#72
It's really a simple card; used some papers from MME's Lost & Found Heirloom line; a little umbrella from C9's Baby set, which was stamped and embossed with Strawberry Slush, Versamark and clear EP, then I added some sequins, pearls and a little sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes:



And I pulled out the retired Fabulous Phrases for the inside sentiment:


Thanks for visiting today!
A little river time with a friend over the weekend!
