In its 54th season of tracking Santa Claus on his annual journey around the world, the North American Aerospace Defense Command annually provides a minute-by-minute update on Santa's travels.
Had you checked out all the online wheelin' and dealin' going on this weekend? I did - at least on some of the scrapbooking offers out there! So, here's a quick post with a link to enable you all ... 'til midnight, or in some cases later ... compliments of the kind folkes at Craft Critique!
I just returned home from today's make -'n- take at Karen's, and it'll be no surprise to my buddy Kim nor Joann as to which card's posted this afternoon, I'm betting! I loved this one the moment I spotted the snowflake Cuttlebug background and colors - they're my favs! This color combo is thought of more as a country color combo, methinks, and it's one I prefer over the bright, more traditional "Christmas" green and red combo. We stamped the single stamp with some studio g green and used a marker for the red-brown acorn, then stickled the berries. I popped my focal stamp up on dimensionals, tho' the class sample wasn't. The class sample also used stickles on the snow background, which looked awesome. This would be a nice card to mass-produce for Christmas, don't you think?
I'm no artist, but I occasionally try to be one while at work! I attempt to draw a series of animals ... yep, you guessed it ... a hippo, bird, and sheep ... as my standard happy birthday greeting on joint cards. Well, I purchased some animal stamps while at the Great Lakes Mega Meet this past spring while with some friends, one of whom had a birthday this past week, so these stamps finally got inked! I used Flower Soft for my first time too.
Happy Thanks giving, all! I hostessed our family get- together today, and both my local sibs, a niece, and my Mom were able to attend. My older brother will be in town over the weekend so we'll get to see him too, but it didn't work out for him to stop over today.
My cousin's birthday was this past weekend and I'm posting her card early thru the miracle of modern science (ok, that and Google's timed post option), but I've delayed its post date as I'm mailing it late. I don't think I've seen Robin since she got married! BAD cousins! My sister and I flew together to VA where they lived then and joined the celebrations with my folkes, who I believe drove over earlier for an extended stay. Methinks they had their pop-top camper conversion van then, but I recall we all stayed at a hotel intended for guests.
This sweet package is available only 'til 10 p.m. EST today ... so run, don't walk, to check out Donna Downey's sponsor giveaway, compliments of the kind folkes at Coordinates Collections!
The kind folkes at incompetech provide free online "graph" paper ... and a whole lot more! Think background DP! Check out their site and experiment - you select different dot weight, grid spacing, radius multiplier (just play around here - it's fun!), different output paper size and colors, and it'll generate a PDF of your output. Me likey! You will too!
Here's another class project from October's stamp camp w Mary. I've no deets except that it's mainly SU product, is a small (approx 3x2") bag made from Choco Chip card stock ... but I DO have this t'riffic poem to share (enjoy!):
Just a quick "heads up" to let you know that Crystal's got blog candy in a big way ... and if I don't win it, I think one of my blog readers should, so head on over by December 9th, her wedding anniversary!
