Old St. Nick

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.
