A LITTLE MORE SANTA IN SEPTEMBER....

Hi all!!! Happy Wednesday!! Back to work for me, LOL!!! But, a pretty short week so I have nothing to complain about *wink* This is another card I did for my Santa in September class....I got to play with one of my fabulous new Sizzix embossing folders from the holiday mini called Petals a Plenty - doesn't it look like poinsettias? Well, I am going with it, lol!! The image is from one of my fave sets called A Cardinal Christmas, I love to watercolor this little guy which is what we did on this card as well! He is such an elegant looking bird! And, of course I had to use some more of that yummy ribbon called Sleigh Bells, also in the holiday mini - I tell ya, this little catty is chock full of yumminess, I just love it all!!! The sentiment I used is from a Hostess Level I set called Holiday Best and I think it is fabulous - the sentiments are all so pretty and go so well with so many of our sets!! This one was perfect because it has a little bird on it - love that! And, in keeping with the elegance of my cardinal, I added some Very Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware and am really happy with how it looks!!! So, there you have it - another Santa in September card!!! I am having so much fun with all these Christmas cards and I am really making a dent in my own cards for the holidays! Interested in taking this class? Well, I am offering this again on Monday, September 14th from 5-8pm - contact me for details, I have a few spots left!! Well, I am off to make money to buy more stamps...that's what I keep telling Tony who just rolls his eyes and laughs at me as he points to the rows and rows I already have - heehee!! They make me HAPPY!!! Thanks so much for stopping by today - I am planning on spending my lunch hour browsing blogs and checking out what you all are up to as I am really enjoying keeping up with my blurfing!! TTFN!!!
