I went shopping at
Verve Stamps a few weeks ago, specifically to pick up the stamps for
this project. While I was shopping, this dapper little guy just jumped into my cart. He is SO perfect with the sentiment!
I didn't want to do anything fancy with him - he is cute enough to stand alone. I did use some paper that I liked a lot - but in general would be too busy for my style. I thought it gave the card a little bit of the older Dickens-look - appropriate for the sentiment.
This is out of my NBUS Christmas stash. I was paging through that pile and looking at challenges for inspiration. I am playing along with Merry Monday to use an animal. (I am assuming my bird is OK since the challenge graphic has owls!!). Also playing with CAS on Sunday: Christmas.
I hope all is going well with each of you as we near Christmas. I don't have my cards out yet, which is stressing me. They are made - but my little secret is that I have illegible handwriting - while my husband's is quite clear. So he gets to address envelopes and hasn't done it yet. I am going to my nieces' Christmas pageant this afternoon and my son's band concert tonight. I have a few more rehearsals for Sunday and for Christmas Eve bell choir performances. But other than that - I'm going into the final week feeling pretty good!- Stamps: Verve Christmas Joy (it's on sale right now!)
