Here is another example of a welcome card I made. I made this one for my mom and dad. This past summer, they sold their house and bought a new one. I hand wrote a "sold" sign and put it beside one of the houses to represent the house they had just sold and put a "welcome" sign above another house, representing the one they had bought.

I am trying out different arrangements for Christmas cards to send to friends and family. I'm stressing out a bit because between school and work, I am worried I will leave it too close to the last minute and not have time to send out cards this year. How nuts would that be if I, the obsessive card making freak, who has spent an obscene amount of money on supplies, didn't send out Christmas Cards? So in between homework, tests and work, I have been trying to get some card making time in. Here is a simple, yet pretty card I have come up with. I found a similar design on Split Coast Stampers but modified it to fit the supplies I had.










To make this card I used:

Stamps: Four The Holidays (SU)
Paper: Whisper White (SU), Garden Green (SU), Real Red (SU)
Ink: Garden Green (SU)
Accessories: Embossing border punch, Scallop Punch (SU), Snowman (Printed from my PC)

I've been trying to figure out what to do with my Lovely As A Tree (SU) stamp set. I love it but was not sure how to use it on a card. I decided to do tone on tone with a simple card and a sentiment. I really like how it turned out.

To make this card, I used:
Stamps: Upsy Daisy, Lovely As A Tree
Ink: Garden Green, Certainly Celery
Paper: Garden Green, Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery
