Christmas Thursday


Time for another Christmas card. I made this one for the Christmas Card Challenge blog. The challenge every week is to make a Christmas card, but every week there is an optional challenge. That optional challenge this week is to use kraft, red and white.

My snowflakes were cut and embossed using a Spellbinders die. I adhered them with foam squares. The red strip was embossed with a Sizzix snowflake folder. The sentiment is from a Jillibean set.

I often do my posts ahead of time and write nothing personal - just the facts, ma'am. :) Then I re-read them later and wish I had written more. Well, today, I'll write a little more! I didn't have Wyatt on Monday and Tuesday, so I had a fair amount of stamping time, which was fun. The reason Monday was because of a nice event. He went to the Mall of America with his immediate and extended family on his mom's side. The reason for Tuesday wasn't so great. He spent Monday night at the hospital. He had been throwing up and got dehydrated. He came  home after one night, though, and is doing well. Poor little fellow. Other than that, he is doing wonderfully!

Today is my dad's 89th birthday. Happy Birthday, Dad! (Thought I'd add that, even though he doesn't read my blog:) He IS on the computer quite a bit, though, doing other things.) The card I made for him is posted here.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Christmas Sunday

I sure am glad I started my Christmas cards when I did, because I'm starting to feel the pressure already! Since it's Sunday, I'll share this one with you.

I used some textured red cardstock and embossed it with a new (to me) Darice embossing folder. Then I sanded the embossing down, allowing the white core to show through. I adhered it directly to the card front. I stamped the sentiment (from Jillibean Soup) with Versamark and embossed with Detail White embossing powder. I'm entering this into the Christmas Card Challenge blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
