OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS

Hi all!! WOW!! Yesterday was a doozy of a day - I am sooo glad it's over!! People tried to cram all the days off work we had into yesterday - I had more meetings than the President, LOL! I tell ya, my days fly by in no time at all, I mean hey, tomorrow is already Friday :-) So, I came home last night and did a little stamping therapy to relieve the stress of the day and decided that I needed another Christmas card....yep, another one!! As I am sweating in this unbearable triple digit heat, I am having a blast stamping away about the frosty season!! I decided I wanted to use one of my favorite sets called Winter Post as it reminds me of a good ole' fashioned Christmas - hence my post title for the day!! I just love these skaters, they make me smile!! And, I got to try out my fabulous new snowflake punch....and I am hooked - I just love it!!!! Okay, I know there are no green snowflakes but I claim artistic license, heehee!!! I stayed with a theme of Very Vanilla and Old Olive with a dash of Chocolate Chip just to bring the image out and I am lovin' the colors together! And, I added some of my new yummy Mistletoe taffeta ribbon available in the holiday mini....this ribbon is gorgeous, the pic does NOT do it justice! I also decided to cut into some of my new holiday designer series paper in the Merry Moments series....sometimes I just like to admire my papers and hesitate to cut them up....silly I know, but I am sure I am not alone in this *wink* BUT, I bit the bullet and decided to use it and I am soooo glad I did, I just love it!! So very pretty! To top off my card, I decided my cute little skaters needed some ice to skate around on so I created some out of Dazzling Diamonds - love it! I had a great time stamping away last night and so I have decided that no matter what, a little stamping is called for each evening just to remember the fun stuff!! Now, off to work - gotta pay for those stamps, LOL!!! Thanks for stopping by and seeing me, I love your comments, they make my day (or my lunch hour, heehee!) I will visit you all while eating my salad - have a fabulous day!!!!
