HAPPY HAPPY Monday to you.
Why is this such a glorious day? Well, I have a BIG announcement to share with everyone.
On Friday I was selected as a design team member for Inspired by Stamping. If you haven't been to Joanna's site, you must run right over there and take a look at her stamps. She is a fantastic designer and I know you will love not only her stamps, but her creative and inspirational cards too.
Here is a list of all the fabulous new design team members. I hope you will take a look at their blogs too. We will start officially designing for Joanna in December. But you will want to visit them all now and bookmark their sites. This is a group of super talented women!
Now about today's card. I used this week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. It is a great website that your should spend some time perusing. They specialize in clean and simple sketches. I really like that because sometimes it is just what I need to get a creativity jump start. Here is the sketch:
I used the new St. Nick 6x6 paper pack from Fancy Pants. Even the little Santa is from that pack. Of course he is mounted on a few layers of chipboard. The die I used is the Scalloped Ribbon Border from MFT Stamps. What I like about this die is that it is the same on both edges, so when I need two small borders, I can just slice it right up the middle and use the one die cut.
I added some paper roses, twine and bling and called it done. Clean and simple with just a little bit of sassy!
Well, that's quite a bit of information for one day. But I just HAD to share.
Please come back tomorrow for a shorter post. I promise - short and sweet and pink.
