Holiday time???

 

I got an email today from a local paint your own pottery store and in it the owner mentioned that there were only 9 more Saturdays left to make holiday gifts in her store.

 

Only 9 Saturdays until Christmas???

 

How can that be?   Wow, time does slip by.  It seems like only a few days ago school just started.  Halloween is just around the corner, Thanksgiving soon after that and then Christmas.  Wow, I guess only 9 weeks is right.

 

It’s a good thing I finally felt a bit creative tonight and I made a few Christmas cards.  I bought a great holiday MM kit at Tuesday Morning this summer that has a vintage feel.  So far from the kit I made 9 cards.

 

 

I embossed snowflakes on red cardstock, inked the snowflakes, added ribbon, flowers and a die cut holiday piece that I added shimmer spray to age it a bit.

I love the vintage feel of these cards.

Forgive the bad pictures, it is late at night and I took pictures of them spread out on my crafting desk.

The kit came with all the die cut images, flowers and buttons.  I added rhinestone brads to the flowers and a ribbon to each card, all supplies I had on hand.

I think the kit was $3.99 or something close to that.  You gotta love the deals that you can sometimes find at Tuesday Morning.  I like to check them out every couple weeks to see what is new.  Lately there had not been a lot of new craft supplies but I guess with all the new holiday items they probably won’t get much new in the craft supplies.

Not a bad start to holiday card making a whole 9 Saturday’s before Christmas….

What are you working on for winter holidays??
