Christmas Break

Well, I had my two days of Christmas break and it is back to the grind of making cards. Tough life, huh? :)  The kids are on Christmas break from school until January 8th, so there is a lot of chaos around here today, with my three kids and three that I am babysitting.  We will see how much I actually get accomplished. lol

There aren't many of my usual challenges going on right now with the holidays, but I did find some at Create with Connie and Mary and Try Stampin' On Tuesday that I wanted to play in.  This card also fits in the True Blue challenge at SUO Challenges!

Aren't those great colors for snowy weather?  We had our first big snowfall of the season yesterday, so this was fitting for a winter card.  I decided to make a winter wedding card.

When I went to my silver glimmer paper stash, I was so disappointed to see that I only had a few scraps left!  I really wanted to do the whole doily in silver glimmer but this is all I had. :(  I still love the way it turned out though!  I don't have any Pool Party DSP, so I made my own using the Delicate Doily stamp set.  This wedding card wouldn't be complete without some bling, so I added a rhinestone for the diamond on the ring.  I really like this layout!  The card is 5 1/2" square, so it would take a custom envelope.  I think I will look in to purchasing the smaller doily die so I can do a smaller version of it!

Stamp Sets: Delicate Doilies, Word Play
Cardstock: Pool Party, Whisper White
Ink: Pool Party
Tools: Large Paper Doily Sizzlit, 2 1/2" Circle Punch, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch
Accessories: Pool Party Baker's Twine, Silver Glimmer Paper, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals
