Hi stampers!  Readjustment into real life after a holiday at home is hard :-)  That means I have a short post today, ha!

I've had this one made for quite a while and sort of forgot about it.  It's a pretty simple card!

Merry Mailable Monday

Hi stampers!  Sorry for the radio silence last week.  I kind of ran out of things to share and steam to stamp.  Ian didn't nap well one day and that cut into my stamping time!  And then I had a follow up for my broken foot which wasn't idea.  I'm healing but very slowly.  The x-ray didn't look near like I thought it should after 5 weeks but the radiologist said he saw new bone growth so let's hope it's getting there!  Anyway, THEN I was able to get a peek at the upcoming holiday catalog and now I want to STAMP ALL THE THINGS!  It's incredible as always!

I did make this Christmas card over the weekend but failed to get a picture taken when it was sunny, so I can share it now for a last hurrah of Christmas in July!  Don't forget, if you sign up today, you'll get a great bonus gift with your starter kit...also Christmas in July!

This card is pretty simple and self explanatory!

Merry Freaky Christmas!

Hi stampers!  It's time for the Control Freaks blog hop!

If things aren't working quite right on Saturday evening, make sure to come back Sunday morning!  You may have just from from Melissa's blog and her amazing projects but don't fret if you made it here another way.  We make an endless loop so just keep clicking and you'll see everything!

You'll also notice some more changes on my blog.  I got some new backdrops for my photos so I'm trying those out.  I hope you like them!  I'm also experimenting with my photo editing and edges of my photos.  If you have a minute, let me know what you think, ok?

This month's theme is my favorite, the holidays!

My first card it's really a tradition Christmas card but I kind of love it! And this is my kind of water coloring....no worries about inside the lines, haha!  I embossed the stars from the forever evergreen set and combined it with the sentiment from wonderful wreath!

And now for a more traditional card using holly berry happiness.  And look, more watercoloring!  I told you that you'd see more since I'm still practicing ;-)  I love how simple this card is yet it's pretty stunning if you ask me!

Now you're off to see my stampy bestie, Wendy.  I know you're going to LOVE what she has to show you!

Happy stamping!

Christmas in August

Hi stampers!  It's Christmas in August around here because my holiday catalog preorder got here earlier this week!  This catalog is seriously amazing!  And you all know I have a thing for the holidays so I'm totally in trouble! What's more is that so many of the products not only work in their respective bundles or suites, but work so well outside of them as well.  The holly bundle I used in this card also works with the tin of tags set and that's just one example!  So many products work with not only other holiday items but with items found in the annual catalog as well.  I did a live video of all my stuff on FB and talked about this some.  Make sure you follow me on FB to see those kinds of things!  And let me know if you need a catalog, ok?

I always have trouble creating when I get new stuff because I can't decide what you use so I kept my cards simple at first!  Here's the first one I made.

Stamps:  Christmas pines, holly berry happiness
Paper:  Whisper white, cherry cobbler, garden green
Ink:  Cherry cobbler, garden green
Accessories:  Gold metallic thread, holly berry builder punch

I LOVE that sentiment.  There are a number of sets I got mostly for the sentiments and this is one of them!  I also love that holly!  You can't get more Christmasy than holly!  I actually kind of forgot I got the holly bundle until I opened my order, lol!  I got quite a bit of free stuff with my hostess benefits and also some other demo perks!!!!  So, I got this bundle for FREE!  Don't forget about all of those awesome perks and free stuff if you're interested in becoming a demo!

Anyway, while summer is winding down for most people, we are getting super busy at the tail end!  I'll try my hardest to create and share a little bit when I can!

Happy stamping!
