With Barry off work yesterday it didn't seem like a normal Monday. I almost didn't even get the trash out in time! I didn't do the wash and barley got anything crafted! Well today he's working all day and I have a mission to do. I mailed Christmas cards to my MIL so she could give them to her friend who requested them. But when I spoke with her last night she said she could use some more birthday cards. Now this is the same woman who told me last week she was ok until January---that was before I mailed cards for her friend! Notice a pattern here?
I made this card with one of those little used SU sets that I had to have. It's makes a fun and really easy card. First I stamp out the presents on a piece of white card stock cut with my nesties. That way I get the placement I want. I love to have the presents floating out there. The presents were stamped and cut out on scrap white and then trimmed to fit! I have all these scrap pieces of paper from other cards laying around on my desk so I just found pieces that would work.
So, what are you up to today? Are you finished with your holiday cards? I need an idea for my gifts for my DIL and 18 year old grandson. I'm stumped! Yesterday Barry and I went to the Asian market to buy fruit. It's the best place, besides the Farmer's Market, and we picked up small size goodies for Larry. He loves to cook and we knew he'd love getting some of the jars and bottles of "stuff" we found. We even tea and cookies. Maddy gets crafty toys and Evan is getting a bottle of wine, but then I'm out of ideas. Since Hanukkah isn't until Sunday night, I have a few days to figure it out!
Hugs and blessing to you all!
Great card! I too had to have that set, and it has yet to see ink.Thanks for the inspiration.
