Vintage Christmas (Again?)

Yep. Vintage colors for Christmas. Works for me! This card didn't turn out as cute as I had it pictured in my head. Bummer. Oh well, I still like it.




Supplies:
Cardstock ~ Crumb Cake, Crisp Cantaloupe
DSP ~ First Edition, Glimmer Paper in Champagne
Ink ~ Crisp Cantaloupe, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip
Stamp Sets ~ Gorgeous Grunge, Open Sleigh
Embellishments ~ Very Vintage Designer Buttons, Bakers Twine

Bitter Sweet

It is BITTER cold outside. That's the bad news. The SWEET part is that Christmas is coming! It was 15 degrees out this morning when I went out to feed my horses. Poor little things! I wish I could bring them in the house, but for some reason my husband draws the line at the door. He just doesn't understand. Oh well..

So, I was in the Christmas spirit for this card. I had so much fun. I can't wait to get some more time to play around with all the ideas I have jam-packed in my head. I am a Christmas junkie. I turn on the tunes the day after Thanksgiving and (yes, while everyone is pushing and shoving on Black Friday) I decorate for Christmas. I'm not a traditional kind of girl though (If you haven't figured that out already...get with it!). I don't really like red and green. It's BORING! Why not add some pink and blue in there? And better yet, lets make it have a vintage feel to it. Yep, that's my kinda style.

Here is what I came up with. It's a little more green than I'd planned, but it has enough pink and blue in it to compensate for that.


Supplies:
Cardstock ~ Real Red, Very Vanilla
DSP ~ Everyday Enchantment (retired), Glimmer Paper
Ink ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Crumb Cake, Rose Red
Stamp Sets ~ Come to Bethlehem, Gorgeous Grunge
Embellishments ~ Pool Party button, brads dipped in Pool Party Embossing Powder
Misc ~ Cream ribbon, natural thread
