OK...so I am very late getting my Christmas cards done, but I've finally finished. YAHOOOOOOOO!!! We have been so busy lately and there are never enough hours in the day, but now they're done and this is the finished product.
The bird is a stamp I bought at Joann's Crafts, but I only saved the plastic sleeve and threw away the label. I stamped her with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Stampendous embossing powder in Silver Tinsel and Red Tinsel. I used a Hampton Art Stamp for the Merry Christmas sentiment. The birds are cut out with the largest Nestabilities square and for the sentiment I used the largest double ended tag, also from Nestabilities. Underneath the two stamped images I embossed with my Cuttlebug and the Birds and Swirls embossing folder. I smudged a little Cranberry ink from Color Box around the red bird and the embossed piece and used Starlite Silver ink from Dew Drop on the silver card. The red brads are from Basic Grey's Ambrosia collection and the silver brads are Recollections brand. I used a white Merry Christmas ribbon and just tied it around at the top fold.
Now that the cards are finished I can start on another project. I'm thinking about a Dreamboard collage I read about
here. It will certainly be something new for me.

This is my wonderful, supportive spouse, stained shirt and all. That's really kind of funny considering how he was asking all us girls earlier in the day if we were going to change out of our flour dusted, turkey juiced clothes into something a little nicer (i.e. cleaner) for dinner.
