Off to Madison!

Christmas Cards

be merrytrying to be merry this morning as we get ready to leave for Madison!  It is going to be a COLD one!  We got a dusting of snow last night and since it’s below freezing I guess it will stay!  Hoping that the roads are not too bad so we decided to wait till daylight to leave and hope WI has done some salting.  Have a good weekend!

Stamps Used:  G205 KB’s Snowman Scene & C215 Be Merry!

 

 

Stamp Lift!

Snowman

stamp lift 3So here is my stamp lifted card from Karissa’s card on Friday.  Stamp Lifting is just taking the basic idea of the card and making it into your own.  It might be the colors, the layout, or the stamps that you like and you change to make it your own.  I used mostly the same stamps, mostly the layout, and for sure the colors!

Stamps Used:  EE42 KB’s Snowman w/heart Looking up Med ( I had the number of stamp wrong on Friday!  Will have to fix!); AA27 Snowflakes, C215 Be merry!; and D253 Heart Flag

You’ll notice the background of snowflakes are perfectly random.  I used the “Perfectly Random Template”  Here are the pics…

stamp lift 1This is the template (cut in half)–notice that the paper falls off the squares on all the sides.

stamp lift 2Here are the snowflakes all stamped in the squares even the ones falling off!  Makes the background very pleasing to the eye.

We had an awesome weekend home!  I’ll try and show pictures of all that we accomplished on Saturday and then a nice relaxing day on Sunday.  Have a good Monday.

be merrySince Karissa has a busy Friday today…I told her I would blog for her.  I’ve been doing that alot lately.  Hmm wonder what’s up with her 🙂  Actually, a friend of hers is getting married today.  Lucky she sends me cards even on my days!

Love the silver snowflakes in the background.  I also like how Karissa colored her snowman with the light blue to match the background.  I think I’m going to sketch lift this card and show you on Monday.  And I have some more pictures of our stamping making process for Monday.

Stamps Used: C215 Be Merry; EE37 KB’s Plain Snowman Looking Up; AA27 Snowflakes; F210 Giga Rectangle
