MERRY CHRISTMAS

I just wanted to wish you and your families a VERY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Naughty or Nice?

Have I told you how much I love my Digi's and one of my absolute favorite is from Cindy's Scraptastic Designs. She carries the most cutest digi's ever.  Cindy will start adding more new ones next year but their is still a lot of digi's at the store that you can use for anytime/anyday.

Card Size: 5.25 x 5.25

DP Echo Park Winter Park

Image is from Cindy's Digi called Naughty or Nice List

I matted my image on a spellbinder nestie

Snowflake punches are from Fiskars

Sentiment is also stamped on a spellbinder nestie and it is from my girl Mary of Cardz TV called Home for Christmas

I also used some crinkle ribbon, love them I need to order more once I get settled.

TradeFish Designs

I can't believe that Christmas is on Sunday already, kinda a bit depressing here as we are still living in the Hotel.  But we did bid on a house this weekend so that is a good thing I am hoping we can be in our new home by Jan 20 or something.  I wish it was sooner but real estate lenders here in TX is a bit different.  Good thing my kids are okay with that so no worries, they will still be getting a little something....something.

Now in case you haven't visited the TFD Blog lately, "C" has announced the closing of her store and you can read that Here.  Don't worry though her blog is not going anywhere and we still have our GoFish Challenge that goes on a biweekly (every 1st and 15th of the month) where the DT will keep inspiring you with our creations.  But just in case you would like to purchase some of her stamps at a lower price all of them right now are at a 50% discount until the end of the year and then it will be donated to those less fortunate that would like to start their own papercrafting hobby but never could.  Just visit her store HERE!
