Another busy day at the office. The weather here has been really nice though, in the 70’s and sunny. Sort of the same as it was when I was in London! After work I went over to Scrap-A-Latte and did my cutting for card class. I can’t wait to post the cards on Saturday so you can see them! I love them! LOL! When I got home I had a sandwich and then made my card for today. A relatively quiet evening.
And that card is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…
I wanted to use a cool new die that I recently acquired! My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I flagged a piece of My Minds Eye Christmas on Market Street Vellum and adhered it to the card. Next up is the Simon Says Stamp Merry Christmas Ornament Die cut from a piece of Cherry Cobbler with a little SNAIL at the top to hold it in place. Finally a piece of Gold Glimmer Paper is adhered across the top. A quick and simple Christmas card but that die makes it look amazing! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Thanks very much for taking some time to stop by and I wish you a very good Thursday! 🙂

First, Welcome home! It was so much fun following you all around the UK, Paris, etc. What a wonderful trip! I love your card today. In fact, remember I mentioned that I was chosen to win a Simon Says item from their Facebook page? Well, I got this die! How cool is that? Now I know I can CASE yours 🙂 Great job on today’s card, as always. Hugs
Thanks Bobbi! I’m so glad that I got to share my trip with you! Glad that you enjoyed the card too! That’s so awesome that you got the die as your winnings! Hugs to you! 🙂
Hi Justin:
Love the glitter paper, love the die, love the card and so very happy to see a card that says “Merry Christmas” instead of Happy Holidays. You did a fantastic job with this one and I can’t wait to see what you are doing for your classes at Stamp A Latte!
Sounds like we are having the same weather you are and I hope it’s lasts a while. I could live with the 70’s and sunshine all year long and I’m sure you could too. Great convertible weather for sure.
