Hello, Friends.....
I'm here with a quick post for the MFP Sketch with a Twist Challenge with a Christmas theme twist. Have you noticed that I'm always the last one to get my card in for these challenges???? Well, it's not that I procrastinate...it's that I am chasing Little Peach around and don't have much time to make cards. At night after she's in bed is usually when I try to get my things out to play. Well......note to self: don't use glitter glue and hope to make a "quick" card! Ha. Takes time to dry.....duh! But I love glitter glue on my Christmas cards, so what's a grandma to do???? :)
Here's the sketch:
So here's the card I made. It was fun getting out my Christmas things and playing with some of the terrific products I had won that I didn't get a chance to use before last Christmas. The darling mittens are from the SSS Big Holiday Wishes set that was in the December 2013 Card Kit I won. (THANKS, SSS!!!)
The little Merry Christmas stamp was in a Serendipity grab bag I chose as part of a prize . (THANKS, Serendipity!!!) By the way, these grab bags are an amazing deal....10 adorable cling foam-mounted stamps for a buck!! Great add-on when you are ordering other terrific products from them!!!
You can see the silver glitter glue I used around the three DCWV patterned paper vertical panels. Again, don't use this stuff when you are in a hurry! Ha. For the white panels, I inked around the edges and heat-embossed in silver. Love this look!!! The image and sentiment were stamped and heat-embossed in red. The green metallic twine was a thrift store find.....40 cents for a generous skein! :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog!! Love it when you visit and leave a comment. Also, love all my followers!!! Thanks so much for your support!!!
