challenge over at ATS this week is CHRISTMAS in JULY! perfect for a kick start to making those Christmas cards, gift ideas, tags, etc.... and the good man knows i NEED a kick start!! but i can bet you i'll probably procrastinate again! haha! lately that has been the word in my craft world... man would some one just delete the word entirely?! hehe... i'd be better off if the word was not part of the vocabulary or in the dictionary... dream on right?! well, here is what i came up with by winging it...
totally plain if you ask me... if not for the pretty papers i guess you could say... papers are pretty busy itself and i couldn't really find the right embellies to stand out... my solution... slap on a sentiment (from Dandelion Designs) and just a touch of rhinestones (yah it blends into the papers) and leave it like it is.... not even the border punch i wanted to use would go with it... ahhh, no stress papers worked it's magic... and CC Designs Sugarplum Santa Emma is the steal of the show anyway... =D i fun flocked the white parts of her outfit and Santa hat, something i love to do when i can... hmmm, maybe when i pull this card out again for the holiday season i'll find something to dress it up a little more... what do you vote?! leave as is?okie dokie.... way past my bedtime... told myself i need to start sleeping a little earlier... obviously it's not happening... LOL... i just enjoy the silence of the night crafting.... no interruptions or disruptions... just me and my craft supplies... ahhh! privileged pleasures.... too bad i kinda hit the crafting stump.... oh well, hope for a better craft day later today... Ciao for now!
I guess everyone is getting in to the Christmas theme huh? Super cute card, love the image you chose and the papers. Well u knocked out one, and plenty more to go, yea? Hehe.. TFS! Hugs,
ReplyDeleteChristmas in july stuff always stump me :) I think, just leave as is and when you take it out later...you'll know if you wanna change it. It looks fine to me :)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Kris! I think the pretty paper with sweet Emma is embellishment enough! Love the purple for a Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteI must admit I found it a little hard to get into making Christmas cards in July, I don't usually start them until October!
What fun papers Kris - I really like the use of the purples. Great card - thanks for joining us on the ATS challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteway to go and start on your Christmas cards! I don't even start or even attempt to make any. so sad me...yah?! lol! love the DP used and the image is so cute. hope you are having a good week. take care.
ReplyDeletevery pretty christmas card! love the image and the rhinestones!
ReplyDeleteIt's super cool to get into the Christmas mood in July, but I can never seem to get into it yet. I love the paper that you used on your card. The stamped image is a super cute one too. Your coloring with the Copics made her look extra cute.
