I couldn't resist this absolutely adorably clear stamp set. It's called Jolly Follies. All of these guys come it the same set. I stamped them in black on Whisper White card stock and colored them in with my felt pens. I used Kraft, Soft Suede and Old Olive card stock and distressed the edges with Soft Suede ink. I added gold cord and a red button. I used the little hedge hog off the top of the snow ball on the next card and I added a dimensional to make him stand out.
I stamped Serene Snowflakes in Not Quite Navy on one of the Bella Bleu Designer papers with Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Old Olive card stock. I added a red bow, a little red pom pom to the mouse's hat and I found these really cool clear dot dimensions that I added to the middle of the larger snow flakes.
This one I used Kraft, Chocolate Chip, and Old Olive. The great thing about the SU card stock is that I always seems to match any pattered paper. I added a red ribbon, tied a bow, then I added a gold cord, threaded a snow flake button on and tied it to keep it all in place.
I used the Ticket Corner on the edges to create a frame. The card stock is Kraft, Old Olive and Soft Suede. The Eyelet Border punch created the pretty edge to show off the red ribbon and I distressed the edges using my dabber and Soft Suede stamp pad. Isn't she cute!
I think he is my favorite! Same three colors of card stock. I know again, do you get the idea they are my favorite Christmas colors? Yes I love them! When you add the red bow, I think it ties all the colors together. (Oh get it, red bow, tie it all together...Okay so it's been a long day!) Anyway I also added some fake snow to the lamp post which I think adds dimension.
Okay so my youngest son, Justin is driving me crazy! He is humming and whistling Christmas Carols right now as he is setting up his Christmas Village in the Living Room. Now I have them stuck in my head.! Actually, I heard my first Christmas song on the radio today at lunch. Wow, is it really that close? Justin absolutely loves Christmas and everything about it. He has since he was old en ought to understand what it is all about.We have had to come to an agreement that there is only one decorater in the house and that is me! When he was younger he use to build displays for me all over the house. As it is I think his bedroom is moved around and rearranged at least once a month. Crazy Kid!! Anyway, he is allowed to use the top of the TV stand to set up his growing village that has almost turned into a major city. So I am being told to hurry up as he is about to make the big reveal his village. He has candles lit, Christmas music ready to play and the lights are going out so he can show me. I better run but I will make sure to take pictures to show you.
Enjoy your evening, Michelle
