#TGIFC356 A sale a bration Christmas card

I was inspired by the Sale a bration catalog to make 

this tropical Christmas card.   I wanted to step off 

the beaten path and make something a little different

while using many of the saleabration stamps/dsp, and a

few older stamps sets too. 

I will submit it to the challenge at:

TGIF Challenges

The stamp sets featured in this card are all

Stampin Up:

Catching Butterflies

Timeless Tropical 

So Santa

Friendly Hello

White Christmas

Driving By

Farmhouse Christmas

Let's start on page 3 the island vibes stamp set had

me thinking something tropical.  On page 6 & 7 it 

carried on when I saw the palm trees on one of the 

cards.  So knew I'd be adding palm trees. 

I really like how the VW van was colored leaving part 

of it white in front, so authentic so I did the same.   From

the "catching butterflies" I used the little squiggle mark

as tire tracks under the van. 

On page 8&9 I was inspired by all the bright 

bold colors so I added some yellow to my card.

On page 10 the marble DSP made me think of ocean

and hence I added a surfboard to the side.

On page 12 I used the DSP as background and also

paper pieced the surfboard.   I  used the 

little pebbles in that set to create my sandy beach look.

Did you notice the Christmas lights on the VW van? 

Guess who is back in a donut and not happy?  

It's one thing after another here between the 

dog and myself this has been a rough start

to the year. 

I found this so encouraging so 

I saved it to my phone and wanted to share it 

with you all.

Thank you for your continued prayers and

encouragement as I recover from covid.  

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

pjs.projects

I've also added a new tab to the bar at the top of my blog.  

I'll be trying to sell a few of my older stamp sets.

So keep checking back to see if there is something 

there you might like.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
