Merry Christmas, everyone! ♥

Hi friends!

Just stopping by to wish you all

a very Merry Christmas!

I'm taking some time off to be with my family,

enjoy the festivities and the joys of the holidays!

Today's card is a stamp using Rubber Stampede's Santa Collage,

one of my treasured Santa stamps!

This is probably the second time I've inked it up

but here he is ♥

Wishing you the happiest of holidays!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

Santa's Day Off!!

 Hi friends!

If you ever wondered what Santa does in his free time,

I'm pretty sure it's this!

Karaoke!

 

Tee hee!

I just love this card :)

I love making cards just for the fun of it - 

being inspired just by being silly!

 

Santa is from Jingle all the way from MFT Stamps

and probably one of my favorite Santa stamps.

For this card, I used my Ranger distress oxide ink in black soot,

masked off a section to leave unmarked to resemble a spotlight

and blended and blended until it was finished.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed WOW white embossing powder

on red cardstock and created the funny song he's singing,

popped him up on foam for dimension and that's it!

Super fun, super cute!
He was actually part of a series I had planned to make ...
but like most of my best laid plans, I never have the time!
You may - or may not - see another one or four before Christmas!

Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

3M: Santa's Coming to town ..

... and he's riding in a pick up! 

Happy Fri-Yay, friends!

The 3M - that would be Barb, Jeanette and I, 

post cards once a month based on an image.

This month, I was the hostess and chose this darling Santa and reindeer

image and sentiment from Stampendous called Santa's pick up.

 

They were on time posting on the the 9th ...

I've been swamped with family/commitments/events

but hopefully I'm still on Santa's good list!

I'm sure I am!

*wink! wink!*

 

If I had to decribe my card making style - 

I'd have to say I'm drawn to whimsical, colorful, and critters!

Anything that has cute animals, I am immediately pulled in

and start looking for it ♥

This stamp found me!

I was wandering through a store, waiting for my son to finish school,

and there it was - a ton of new stamps from Stampendous, each a delight!

Here is the inside of my card:

You can see what Barb created here and Jeanette's card here!

Thanks for stopping by today!

 And just in case ~ only 39 days left until Christmas!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
