Card #89 & #90 for 2025

Dear blog readers, I will enter this card in the challenge at:

52 Christmas Card Throwdown

So I set the stop watch on my phone and started stamping.

I finally made a quick card under 30 minutes.  I  also added 

the other card I made and it's time in this post just for fun. I thought the

fireplace would be so much quicker, 

well my mistake, I started coloring in the details, 

and then the cutting of each item so it went over in time.

Immediately disqualified that one for myself, but I did 

manage to make the cute surfing Santa, even if I think

him shirtless is inappropriate, I feel like Santa should have

a red and white wet suit.  wink

The stamp set I used in this card is:

Stampin Up: So Santa 

The palm trees were already die cut pieces I had on hand, I actually

added one more to the inside of the card later, because I had an extra.

Below is the time it took to make the Surfing Santa card.

This card took much longer.  I don't know why I 

thought it would go faster, I guess just because the images 

are bigger.   

The stamp sets in this card are:

Stampin Up:

Festive fireplace 

Snowman season

Below is the time it took to make this card.

Below I made a small bottle of lemonade.

I can have a little with my ileostomy so I was

happy to hear that.  I miss drinking lemonade.  

It was a celebratory drink because my doctor

appointment today went much better than I had

hoped for, and it's all Glory to God.  

I have one more not fun procedure I have to go through

and if it comes back normal and good, then I have 

the next surgery.  God willing no injuries or complications 

during this surgery.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

Luke 24:45 KJV

Then opened he their understanding, 

that they might understand the scriptures,

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
