Merry & Bright

Well hello!  Today has just zoomed by for me and I don't even know where it went!  My 2 1/2 year old slept till 10:30 this morning, so I got a lot of around the house stuff done, but I knew that he wasn't going to go down for his regularly scheduled nap anytime soon.  So, I took him to Wal-mart and then on to Archiver's.  He was a complete peach.  Seriously, this couldn't be the same child that has made me want to pull my hair out all weekend?!  Needless to say, we had a good time and I forced myself to pick up some Hero Arts Christmas stamps and BasicGrey Jovial 6x6 pad.  I say forced because I would rather not by seasonal things when there are so many other bountiful offerings to get!  But I have decided that I will get my cards done before November, I will!  Soooo, what's do you have, you ask?  The latest Waltzingmouse sketch of course, along with the Holiday card challenge over at the Moxie Fab World


I punched out 3/4" squares, ink the edges and adhered them to a dark chocolate cardstock strip and mounted it onto the patterned paper strip adhered to my card front.


I added some lace trim and rustic twine and tied a die cut tag to it stamped with a sentiment and a few rhinestones.  Fun and easy!  Thanks so much for stopping today!  Have a good one my friend
