Holiday Greetings!

Happy Monday everyone---today I’m off to San Francisco for the day with my friends!  I’m so excited as I have ALWAYS wanted to go to San Francisco and see Fisherman’s Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge, Curviest Road and Alcatraz!  Whooohooo—if you live there you may see me bee-boppin’ down the sidewalks like a crazy fool hee hee.  Next time I come out this way I want to hit Carmel and Monterey too but for now I will enjoy every minute in San Fran  

Tomorrow I head home—I get in around 8:30 pm and then I’m home for awhile until my classes in Chicago.  BUT YOU KNOW WHAT???  FRIDAY I get to go see Luke Bryan—FIRST ROW BABY---OH YEAH!!  I’m so excited that I can barely even think about it cuz it all just makes me GIDDY!!! LOL!  OMGoodness its gonna be a fun night and oh yeah I’m either getting up on that darn stage or I’m grabbin Mr. Bryan (in a very nice way ahemmmmm) hee hee.  We have to leave early as the concert is in Salem, VA (how appropriate for Halloween weekend ‘eh LOL) and Alexa gets to leave school at noon so you know she’s a happy girl. Third person in our little party is my mom and my mom is a bit like my hubby—she can be slightly overwhelmed..ahem..lol by myself and Alexa.  So she MAYYYY be trying to act like she doesn’t know us during the concert hee hee but that’s ok---gotta live in the moment KWIM and love every minute!  At least that’s how I live everyday!

Holiday Greetings!!

 Today I'm sharing another fun & new release from Gina K--this time its the fabulous StampTV Kit called "Wishing You Joy".  It is another fantastic stamp set packed to the gills with great images and sentiments for the holidays.  Not only that but you get some Luxury Cardstock, patterned paper (which I used above) and brads & ribbons.  The paper is beautiful--I love the mix of violets, golds, browns and snowflakes--so elegant.



 I kept the design pretty simple because I think this would be a great holiday card that you could replicate multiple times easily to send.  I kept the colors to the violets with touches of gold for sparkle.  Those ornaments are so easy to color and I added gold accents with my Gold Sharpie Paint Pen.  I used my Spellbinders dies to cut my image and my scalloped matting.  Some gold brads at the bottom were added--but to bling them up I added Gold Stickles on top for sparkle.  A gold bow finishes off the card.


The ornaments were colored with Copics and accented with gold---the oval frame was colored with my Gold Sharpie as well and then I put Gold Stickles on top for more sparkle.  You can NEVER have enough sparkle during the holidays---or at least that's my motto LOL!  Hope you enjoyed this and gets you thinking about the upcoming holidays (oh lordy I'm not ready yet).
