Tuesday Morning Sketches #429~Christmas in the Making

 I can't believe it is here. My most highly anticipated stamp set arrived last night.   Stampin up's Christmas in the Making.  As soon as I saw the holiday catalog this is the one I wanted to order immediately.  Well you know how it goes, the wish list grows and the budget shrinks.. so I had to wait for the green light from hubby, and gosh I just love this darling little 5 piece set.   I think it is because  I really have a deep appreciation for nostalgic things,  just makes a person happy, hence my black and white movie station.   It seems like times were sweeter, perhaps not easier, as my Grandma (94) would say.   Any ways,  that why I love card making too, it's a lost art, of course not among us.. we all love to make cards, but there's a big world out there and nobody makes homemade things nearly as much as they use too.    

Well that was a long winded opening to share how much I enjoy a stamp set.   So I'll just keep it quick here.   A little bit of stamping coloring, and cutting out, is what it took to make this cute card.  I added a few little embellishments in the upper right hand corner to make it sparkle.  A few pop dots behind the young lady, and some ruffles on the horizontal strip.  I shared both pictures, one with a flash and one with lights on it so you could see the glimmer paper. I'm so happy to be able to submit this card to the challenge at: Tuesday Morning Sketches 

Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

One more exciting note.  I sold 3 cards on my Etsy shop.  Gosh that is super swell, I'm so happy about it.   Thank you💗

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
