Try Stampin' Challenge 352

Ok  I guess you could say this is a "late" card.  What happens when your late? In school you might get docked in your grade, in the Dr. office you may have to wait a LONG time or reschedule your appointment, in Try Stampin' on Tuesday the card may not be on their web page.  Now the other thing about this card is that I Did Not follow the sketch!!  BUT I did SORTA follow the Theme: Time to Celebration
It has been snowing here in Ohio and that means celebration time because there is no school.  I know, I know I'm stretching that theme a bit. :0)

It's December and I found I had limited time to work on a card for this time around so I'm posting the card that my senior apartment complex folks are going to make today (Tuesday) unless the snow keeps coming and I don't feel it's safe to  go this afternoon.    I designed it with that in mind though and it could be used in January with a different saying.  Thanks for stopping, and have a Very Merry Christmas!

Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge 351

hello all, I'm hoping this will be okay, I kinda made it from memory of what the sketch looked like it isn't exactly like the sketch but that is what I love about this site, we have the choice and freedom to do it "our way"- It was a quick- mix, match use up things laying on my desk card!!! I found the night of navy card stock with the snowflakes and thought I'd use it for this challenge as I didn't have a lot of time to make something.  Then I scrounged around and found the DSP already cut and added the Early Espresso card stock behind it.  The little wreath is from an OLD Stampin' Up set I stamped a couple times with Garden Green and I added rhinestones (I had colored with a red marker for another project and didn't need all of them). The Merry Christmas is from an old Stampin' Up set also but I just love the font and use it often at Christmas time. Have fun with this sketch it is a good one.  If you didn't come from the Try Stampin' on Tuesday page be sure to check out the other designers cards they are all GREAT.  Just click here and it will take you there. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my vision, Happy Stamping!
