Hi stampers! I have been fighting a cold or something for the last couple of weeks and I think it got the better of me....so this will be quick! Laurel has a fabulous retro Inspired By for us today...my mind was whirling with possibilities when I saw it. Sadly, I just wasn't up to being too creative so my card is pretty simple:
And here is her cute photo prompt:
My Santa is from a retired Artistic Outpost set called Frosty and Friends; I stamped him in Real Red, then gave him a wee bit of color with some Blends:
His nose looks sort of how mine feels, LOL! I matted him in Glorious Green and gave him some holly berries just like on the DSP I used for the other layer! Red Glimmer Paper made a wonderful diecut sentiment using the Merry Christmas Thinlets, along with a sentiment from Merry Christmas to All:
The layout I used is the FMS sketch for this week:
and finally, a sweet little sentiment from Papertrey for the inside:
I have a lot of digital images that I could have used for this challenge, and I'll bet you have some fun things you could use as well! I just need a few more hours in my day! Hope to see you in the gallery!
Getting ready to prank Mommy with a fake egg! Silly girl!

So sorry you are under the weather. Hope and pray it passes quickly and that Cassidy and others don't catch it. That egg looks so real! Cute nostalgic card!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are under the weather LeAnne. I pray it passes quickly for you. Love your pretty card.
ReplyDeleteCassidy looks like she will have fun with that fake egg.
Hope you feel better soon LeAnne! Lots of colds going around - tis the season I guess! What a wonderful vintage Santa - love all the holly and the bright red/green colors!
ReplyDeleteOh no, being sick is no fun, feel better soon LeAnne. I just made a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup, wish I could deliver it to you! Now about this card. You say simple, I say simply marvelous!
