FWF-Santa Has The Right Idea...

Hi there and happy Friday!  I used this week's sketch challenge over on SCS for my card today.  I pulled out my fab Authentique Wonder DP and my matching Unity stamps(itty bitty Wonder of It) to make this one.  I inked all of the edges of the paper with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain distress ink.  I used the Fancy Label die from Sizzix for the panel centered in the holy circle and then stamped the images on top.  I tied some May Arts green burlap twine and added a vintage button from my stash.

I LOVE the quote on the postage stamp from this Authentique collection-"Santa Claus has the right idea. Visit people once a year."  This makes me giggle every time I read it!  I am sure we all know someone who visiting once a year is MORE than enough! LOL!

I hope you all have a great weekend.  It has been horribly hot, and humid here.  We have been waiting until after 7pm to let the twins go out and play, and it is still nasty!  Will had football camp this week, and they let out early every day because of the heat.

Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage bottlecap ornaments

Hi there!  Today I am sharing some ornaments I made for my dining room tree.  I cut strips of text from an old book to create a "snowflake".  I sprinkled some snow glitter on top, and added some bottlecaps to the center with vintage santa images.  I got the Santa images from The Graphic Fairy.  Love her stuff!  I looped some baker's twine from The Twinery through the top of one of the loops to hang on the tree.  These are super easy to make!

Thanks for stopping by!

Go Fish Challenge #4-A Sketch!

Hello!  Today I am sharing a card I made for the Go Fish challenge.  I just love the sketch and will definitely be using it again.  I pulled out my Sentiments Of The Season set from Tradefish Designs.  I love this set!  I decided to use some of my Authentique Christmas paper. Love that stuff, too.  I was able to find the perfect sentiment for that vintage Santa image.  The kraft strip was run through my CB with the swiss dots folder, and I tied some baker's twine around it and made a loopy bow.  I used distress inks on the edges of all of the papers.

Hope you can play along in the challenge!
