Christmas Card Stamp a Stack!

Hey!  Guess what!?!

I’m posting.

and not only that, but i’m POSTING PICTURES OF CARDS I MADE!

Take a gander at the cards we’ll be making at my Christmas Card Stamp a Stack.  

ChristmasSAS-2009-webslides

Well?  What do you think?  Okay, ya, i totally CASE’d 2 of them.  But they are from 2 of the best stampers out there, so it’s all good.  I’ll give the deets on that below.   The other 3 were inspired by others, but my own creation- which amazes me that I still can stamp something cute (if i dare say so myself!).   And it was… FUN!  I am such the “pressure stamper”. heh. 

Now- I came up with an idea- maybe other demonstrators already figured it out- but I really wanted  “HO HO HO!”  for the “Just Beclause” card, instead of “Be Merry”.    So I went to the personalized stamp section of the IB&C (page 137) and ordered “HO HO HO!” using the Wedding Special Date one line stamp (#116480).  I also thought “Believe” would be nice in that font for the “Dasher” card.  So I ordered both!   They should be here by Weds so I’ll upload a new version of both cards then.   If it hadn’t been for the single stamps available on page 208, it may have never dawned on me to make my own sentiment.  I love that SU has started offering single stamps under $10.

HI! It’s been a while and I’m sorry. I’ve been thinking about this year and all the crazy stuff that we’ve been doing and how busy we’ve been. And you know what? I FEEL SO GRATEFUL that all of it has been FUN!

And last weekend was the culmination of 10 months of planning and anticipation- my sister in law Veronica got married. There has never been a more perfect & fun wedding in the history of the planet. All weddings from now on will never live up to this one. Sorry girls. :D
I do have some photos to share if you’re so inclined.   Nick & Veronica’s Wedding on my Flickr site.   Enjoy!
