Letter To Santa

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! I have a cute little card today; it uses the sketch from Inspire.Create and a theme from Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge:

There is lots of inspiration in the photo...I love all the red and white!  But I remembered that there is a little mailbox in the Stamped With Love set that I don't think I used but once, so I paired it with some One Horse Sleigh DSP and came up with this:

I heat embossed the mailbox in white on Sweet Sorbet and added some shading. I diecut some foliage from the Magic Meadow dies and colored them with blends to tuck behind it.  I added a Basic Borders diecut border from Shaded Spruce and embossed the top layer with the Wintery embossing folder:

The sentiment is from a retired set called Oh What Fun (I cut apart the original sentiment and added the "to"), diecut it with the Stylish Shapes dies and tucked it under a silver-edged bow.  The final embellishments were a few rhinestones at the top!

I had an extra sprig of greenery, so I added it to the inside along with a Brightest Glow sentiment:

I love the cheerfulness of this!  And I just realized this fits the criteria at As You See It:

Thanks for visiting today!

A couple of Eagles fans, just chillin'!  And they won!

 Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Sing praise to the Lord, all his faithful people!  Remember what the Holy One has done, and give him thanks! His anger lasts only a moment, his goodness for a lifetime.  Tears may flow in the night, but joy comes in the morning.  Psalm 30:4-5

CAS260 Love You Always

 Happy Monday, everyone!  I have Cassidy this week and it's basketball camp week! She really loves her basketball so hopefully she'll learn some new skills and hone up the ones she's working on!  I have a quick clean-and-simple card today for the CAS On Sunday challenge, which is "love"!  It's hard not to think of pink, red and Valentines when making a "love" card, so I tried to think outside the box a bit and just used a simple sentiment and floral image, along with a couple of embellishments:

I managed to use up a few scraps on this card!  The piece of watercolor paper was one I didn't use from another project...I just turned it over and used the other side, LOL!  I love the font on this sentiment; it's from the new Stamped With Love set, and since I already had Dainty Delight on my desk, I chose the small Queen Anne's lace image, stamping it in Soft Seafoam ink.  I used a retired piece of baker's twine to give a little accent and colored some retired Candy Dots with a Black Blend for the corner:

Simple and easy!

Dana took a stained glass class yesterday at a local winery and she shared with me what she made:

The dragonfly started with pieces of stained and clear glass and a silver fork with the top cut off!  Dana placed dried flowers on one piece of glass, then covered it with another one, making a "sandwich" to create the top wings. 

Then she learned how to solder the foil and flux together with the soldering iron; she said it was a little tricky but I think she did pretty well for the first time!

Thanks so much for visiting today!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
