Shew! What a fabulous day!!

Happy Day After Christmas!

What a fabulous day with had with our daughter & her family yesterday!

Fun gift unwrapping and a wonderful breakfast afterwards!

Thanks kids ... we love you!

Today I'm trying to getting my glassware & platters packed away for another party day, and thought I'd take a quick moment to share a few additional last minute Christmas cards I made 'just in the nick of time' to have them go postal to friends & family.

 

Here are a few more using some fun die cuts I purchased at Joan's Gardens over the past year. The corner snowflake is by Memory Box.  The Snowman as well as the Sign are by Marianne.  The 'sign' is part of a set that also has a 'street light' as seen in the card below.  The Santa w/reindeer die is by Cheery Lynn Designs.
 

 Here are a few challenges these cards qualify for:

Christmas at Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Let It Snow

Crafty Creations Challenge #253 - Anything Goes

Creative Belli #185 - Christmas

House That Stamps Built - Last Minute Card or Tag

Little Red Wagon #217 - Christmas Anything Goes

Rhedd and Rosie Challenge #22 - Let It Snow

2 Creative Chicks #9 - Christmas/Winter

For the following two card creations, I have used the same stamp 'Snowy Postcard' by Stampendous which I asked Joan at Joan's Gardens to order for me last year.  For the first card I stamped the image with Versafine 'Sepia' ink ... colored in the holly/berries with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers then simply attached to my background paper and added ribbon.  Quick ... Easy ... Beautiful!

(Cheery Lynn Designs 'Merry Christmas' die set)

While there was still a bit of the sepia ink on my stamp, I stamped it again using Tim Holtz 'broken china' distress ink.  I love how a hint of each color came through on the image.

Okay ... time for sharing is over!  

I need to get back to my cleaning or it won't get done today!

I hope Santa brought you LOTS of fun, new crafty things to play with.

Talk to you soon and thanks for poppin' in ... 

As always . . .
