Monthly Christmas Card

Okay, so I came up with a theme to keep me on my schedule of trying to post once a week. During the 2nd week of every month I will post a Christmas card (at least this will make me post once a month for sure LOL). For the first while it will be cards that I made in 2010, but I will let you know when I start on this year's crop.

So here is my favourite of last year's pick.


I used SU totally on this card.Whisper White card base and matting along with Brushed Gold CS, VersaMark with Gold embossing powder, Snow Swirled and Sincere Salutations stamp sets, and some pearl accents. (Edited to add: Oopps seems I took the pic before I added the pearls)
Oh and I stamped the envie, but can't remember what I used.

Birthday Card


This is a birthday card I made for DH's Aunt's 75th birthday. Her children held a lovely party for her and as it happened, her brother, DH's Uncle was turning 80 the following week (I made a card for him also, just haven't downloaded it yet. Another post), so it was a combined party with 2 cakes. I think that was the best part, who doesn't like birthday cake. Wish I could think of some Stephanie Plum quotes on that right now.

Recipe:
CS:   SU Early Espresso, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
Stamp: SU Birthday Bakery
Misc.: Ribbon from my stash,Copics - sorry forgot to note colours used
and a MS punch.
