52CCT22-45 Mistletoe Christmas

Happy rainy, wet, cold, damp Saturday, everyone!  I got my chores done and snuck in some stamping time today, just a quick little Christmas card using the sketch from Christmas Card Throwdown:

I had a little piece of gingham DSP floating around on my desk, and I just got some cute little mistletoe dies (Merry early Christmas to me!) so I thought this sketch would work perfectly with them!  Here we go:

I diecut the gingham and a mat of Shaded Spruce with Stitched Rectangle dies, then diecut the mistletoe from Mint Macaron cardstock and the berries from Shimmery White.  I added a red satin ribbon behind the panel and adhered my greenery:

I added a little ribbon (which I believe is on the Clearance Rack right now!) and stamped sentiments from Peace to You inside and out.  I had a couple extra leaves, so I adhered them on the inside as well!

And now that little scrap is not hanging around on my desk any longer, LOL!  Thanks for popping in today!

This is what you come home to after a long day at school and your braces just got tightened the day before:

She looks so cute all snuggled up like that!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I just received the Tree Lot dies...so much fun...and had to use them to create a card for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge.  Here's their sketch for the week:

Nice, basic and fun sketch!  So here's the card:

Pretty simple; I cut the trees from Basic White, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent, then mounted them on a panel of Lights Aglow DSP.  Before mounting, I cut a "snowbank" using the retired Sleigh Ride dies....remember them?  I like how the three trees offset my main trees!  I stamped a sentiment from the new Peace to You in Soft Succulent, and added a little Soft Succulent stitched border at the bottom.  My final addition was two wee little stars of Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper to embellish the sentiment:

Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Instead of birthday cards today (I'll come back to them tomorrow), I thought I'd share a video that John made with his new cell phone.  This is the man who resisted getting rid of his flip phone until he absolutely HAD to.  Now he loves it!  We were on our patio after dinner and the hummers were quite busy...he had to wait a couple of minutes, but it was worth the wait!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
