Tonight was Friday Night Scrapbooking at my house. Ohhhh how I love Fridays.
I even made a few Christmas Cards.
I got this idea from Donna.
I changed it up a bit, but more or less its the same. I usually don't copy a card so closely, but I loved this one.
The wreath takes a bit of time, but so worth it don't you think?
Another version.
This one is my favorite. I really like the contrast between the dark green and the background pattern paper.My goal this season is to not purchase any new Christmas paper this year. So far so good. Quite a bit of my cards have been actually made from my scrap paper.
I added foam tape on the wreath so it is raised a tad.
Now what do you think when you look at this? Just a kids toy, a few Lego pieces...Correct.
But I used it as a Stamp A Ma Jig. Pretty cleaver eh?Ya I can't take the credit for it though. I saw it on another blog. What a good idea!
I love to use those $1.50 stamps from Michael's. But they are never straight on the wood blocks, so this is perfect.
Tonight we had to go see the accountant. What I love about this, is we always go out for supper on the company :)We went to The Keg. I got the steak and shrimp. Yummy
Hubby got Prime rib and lobster. Actually this is my SIL, Val's meal, she sat closer to me, teehee.
I don't like lobster, but everyone else did, because they all ordered it. I forgot to take a picture of my dessert, which was on the house :)
I did balance late last night. 1st try, yeah.Whenever I balance month end, I shout out and do a little dance, I told you little things make me happy. Everyone was sleeping, as it was about 2:00am. So I had to celebrate quietly, lol.
I am so glad its the weekend. I plan on getting my Christmas cards all done (I only have about 30 left to do) and finish my thank you cards.
What are you creating this weekend?

Those cards are so very pretty, Tracy. That wreath is an awesome idea. I will have to check out that gals blog.
ReplyDeleteI love that die cut that you stamped on. Like the pattern on the outside of it. Glad you got to play and glad everything balanced out. Makes life a whole lot easier.
Your meals look yummy. I love steak and prime rib, but no shrimp or lobster for me. LOL
Good Luck on the cards. Have a great weekend.

Love the wreath card and must pop over to Donna for a look but tomorrow now as need to get off the computer and get ready to go out for dinner, I don't think it will look anything like the steak and lobster meal but don't think I could eat all of it and would so need a doggy bag.
ReplyDeleteI will try my card with the candle light inside and let you know if it works. x
Love the cards. Looks like a yummy dinner.
ReplyDeleteMmm lobster!
ReplyDeleteLovethe cards!
The wreath is beautiful! That meal looks so yummy!

ReplyDeleteBTW... Beautiful Cards!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the card so cute! I love when punches turn into something cool like that.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw that meal I knew it was the Keg. Not that I eat meat, but it had KEG written all over it.
LOVE the wreaths on the cards you made! Now that's CRAFTASTIC!!
ReplyDeleteThat food looks delicious. I'm with you - not a big lobster lover. LOVE shrimp and crab, though! And steak OF COURSE!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by the Passionately Artistic blog and leaving such a nice comment! :) I'm so glad you liked my re-purposed mug!
