Happy Saturday friends! Time for another challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown (52CCT), the home of opportunity for getting your Christmas card stash done in plenty of time for Christmas while having lots of fun doing it :o).
Each month one of the DT member get to take a turn with setting the challenges. Ruth is our hostess for the month of September and she has started us out with this terrific sketch.
And here's what I did with it:
I haven't done a great deal with this stamp set since I bought it so I thought I'd dust it off a bit and give it a go while I'm waiting for some of my new goodies to come in. Added three little self-adhesive dots in Crumb Cake in the corner (wishing now I'd have used red so they stand out better).
Colored up the stamps with my SU markers using Real Red, Lucky Limeade and Gumball Green. Don't they look like yummy holiday drinks? Whose ready to celebrate with me?? Guess it might be a bit early yet so I'll take a rain-check :o)
Welcome to our Guest Designer for the month of September - Margaret. Margaret's blog is called Em's Paperdaze. She has been a regular player of our challenge for a very long time - we are delighted to have her join us this month! To see Margaret's card and the lovely creations from the rest of the 52CCT DT just click here.
If you haven't been joining us, September is a great time to get started. You'll still have plenty of cards by the time Christmas rolls around if you join us each week. Hoping you'll decide to join us this week! Til next time... hugs and happy crafting! D
