One of my favorite holidays....
Do I send out Christmas cards, not normally. Do I send out St. Patrick's Day cards - almost every year to everyone I know. Those who aren't lucky enough to be Irish can get a card from someone who is I figure. In case you are wondering my other favorite holiday is Halloween. This card utilized multiple stamps - even a wheel type and some copics.
Christmas tag project
The bottom photo was just to illustrate good old fashioned 3D effects. Christmas tags are nice to do. I also did my own wrapping paper this year - customized for each recipient of course. I colored these tags with copics. There was plenty of glimmer mists used as well. The snowflake punch can serve as a mask (use the negative from the punch). Which can be just as nice a touch as the snowflake punch out itself.
Take time to enjoy the journey of life.
Outside...
Inside...
I did this card and another for a friend and lucky for me they liked the other one better. I was way geeked about how this card turned out. The black 'paper' on front is not paper. It is sizing! I had to use some pretty serious pigment ink to get the ink to pop but I like I said I like the result. I stamped the same image in black on the white card stock for an added contrast. The inside left was embossed with a folder. I used some of Tim Holtz's accoutrements on the front and inside left.

So a project....
You get a shot of its backside first b/c I think that is its best side! Maybe it just isn't a photogenic project? This is using some batting (think snow please) and Echo Park Paper's Holly Jolly Christmas line.

Bonnaroo is a 4 day music and art festival. Somewhere around 80K people attend or as I like to say me and 79999 of my very closest, new friends. As they say, let the good times roll!
