Oh Deer!

What an exhausting night! I had planned my last minute card making for some of the gifts under the tree, but someone else had something else planned. I got home and learned that a stray pup (yes pup- maybe 10 weeks old) got hit by a car and hid under my shed. She was hurt (hind end but not sure how severe). When the humane society arrived, he poked it with a stick - couldn't get her out and left... after an altercation with the one neighbor, whose property borders mine. I guess, he was going to let her lie there and die - he said "well if she comes out, I can get her." ... well dang so can I, I thought! The local fire dept and police arrived about an hour later and worked their tails off to get her out - humanely and successfully- then a police officer took her to a vet in the local area - I hope she recovers and is able to be adopted out. But my heart still breaks for her.

In the meantime, I had remembered I did swap of sorts... so here is my little reindeer:

(cellphone picture- my apologizes for lack of clarity)

The ornament tag is fuzzy, I apologize. Itied it up with hempt on the Kraft ribbon.

Thank you for stopping by.. now here is hoping today is not as exhausting!

Vintage... Take 2...

When I made this card I wanted to use all the stamps in the set, however, I got distracted when I grabbed my glitter on the snowman, and instead of it looking blue- ish for the snowflakes, it all looked GREEN... so I didn't complete it - instead, I used the holly from the Bells & Boughs set.. I cannot say its a complete set, but hey, throwing this in the mix of them is pretty neat.

Vintage Take 2:

I smooched alittle vanilla on the card (not sure if you can see it or not). I will finished the snowman. I promise!

Ingredients:

Stamps: Bright Christmas, Bells & Boughs

CS: Very Vanilla, Deck the Halls, DSP, Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler

Ink: Artichoke, colored pencils

Northern Frost (Big Shot Die) Glitter, dimensional

Sneak peak of Goodies...

I have been dreaming that SU! would do these... just so I could make them faster and spend more time on decorating them.. I used some Deck the Halls DSP with Concord Crush.

Sample 1:

Sample 2:

Sample 3 :

Ahh Thank you! Now I can get the rest made and put in flavored popcorn, spiced nuts, toffee...its endless.

You can have yours too... but not until 2011!!!

Have a great day!

A Little Vintage ...

I do not really know if I have a style that I can convert to being "Vintage".. but this is as close as it might get. I have some designer paper that I wanted to use for some Christmas cards and finally am taking advantage of it..

What do you think of my Vintage ??

I used the Deck the hall DSP, put Santa on Cherry Cobbler paper and the sentiment on Soft Suede. I used some glitter on the snowflake from Northern Frost.Its on Crumb Cake cardbase.
And no your eyes are decieving you- the DSP is cut on a slight angle.. the slighted but it makes my eyes go all spastic!

Have a great day!
