Happy Monday Friends!!
I think I may be back on my blogging schedule *hooray*
I definitely have less time than I did in my last job, but I am so very thankful to have found a job in this economy!! This weekend was CRAZY BUSY!! Mike and I hosted a dinner at our church for all the leaders, workers and helpers. You can see some photos from that on my previous iPhone photo dump post HERE. It was a lot of fun!!!
Mike helped me out this weekend, by chipping in with my to-do list, so I had a little bit of time to get crafty on Saturday night (he ROCKS!!). It was so nice to have a little bit of time to be creative.
For some reason, I am having a hard time getting into the Christmas Spirit this year, and I am not sure why?? I am thinking it may be because I am VERY behind schedule with my shopping, but I am hoping it kicks in soon~because I LOVE Christmas!!!
Since I have been trying to get into the Christmas mood, I thought I would whip up some Christmas cards; so this week will be Christmas Card week on the blog. Here is the first one. I really like the Half & Half PTI die, but I have been trying to limit my craft supply spending a bit, so I improvised with an edge punch I already own (link is HERE). Then just stamped a sentiment from Holiday Button Bits and an image from the retired SU! stamp set Merry & Bright. Then just added some ribbon and a button and Viola!!
Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteI too love the PTI half and half dies but it is hard to justify them when you can do it with supplies you already own.
I hope you can catch up with your Christmas to do list, that will certainly help with the Christmas spirit :)
Love this card Gretchen, and I am glad to see you back blogging!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to hear you are enjoying your new job, even if it does mean getting used to the early starts :)
Great idea, Gretchen! I thought like you did but haven't tried to simulate the Half & Half die look yet. As organized as you are, I doubt you'll have trouble meeting your holiday deadlines. Good luck!
