Sketch #451~ Color & Contour, Star of Light, Rectangle stitched dies, Stampin Up

I hope you are all doing well.  The Christmas 

Season is upon us.  I'm trying to take 

time to enjoy each moment of it, and not 

stress and fret over things. 

We all know that can't be good for 

this battle of the blood pressure.  Sigh. 

How do you display the Christmas 

cards you receive?  I have garland 

hanging around one of our door frames, 

and I use baby clothes pins to pin the cards 

to the garland.  I love seeing them. 

I have an old movie playing in the background

right now.  "The Man that Came to Dinner"  

I love classic old movies. 

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Color & Contour

Stampin Up:  Star of Light

Stampin Up:  Rectangle Stitched dies 

This star and I had a bit of a struggle.

I was trying all kinds of different layering 

techniques, but nothing was presenting itself

with that wowza factor, so finally after much 

die cutting it happened.  It truly was a 

"Hallelujah" moment here.  I  thought

for a moment I'd have to scrap the card.  

This star always reminds me of the wise men, on 

their journey to find the Savior in the manager. 

So I was thinking of the song "We three Kings" 

and hence the reason I used a musical embossing

folder on one side.  

Now folks, hubby is home for the day, so I'm 

off to have him help me bake some cookies. 

We have not ever made thumbprint cookies.  I hope

they will turn out.  

I can't wait until the beginning of the year.  I am going to 

try and turn off word verification and see if those spammers

have calmed down.  I miss ya all so much. 

I'd love to have you follow me on instagram at:

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping

Friends.  I am sorry to say I had to

 turn on word verification

 because I’m getting ridiculous amounts

 off spam.  And sadly this has not stopped them. 

 So I am now only able to let friends comment. 

 This is so frustrating.  I am so sorry.  If you 

would like to leave a message I invite you 

to do so on my instagram page.  At least 

for now until these spammers slow down. 

Thank you kindly.
