Merry & Bright Christmas Lights

I had fun with this card.  I used the Christmas Around the World designer paper (page 29 of Holiday Catalog).  At first sight this was not my favorite paper in the Holiday Catalog but I have so enjoyed using it — there are two fabulous plaid designs in reds and greens (nothing says Christmas to me than fun plaids — reminds me of a Christmas dress my daughter had when she was little).  By the way — today is my daughter Katie’s birthday — Happy Birthday Baby Girl.  Back to the card — this was a fun card that I received in a swap from Sandy Carlson and it was SO my style.  The ladies at Bunco loved it to.

The stamp set is Festive Phrases.  This set has stamps to cover Halloween, Christmas and even Valentine’s Day — so awesome.  The Pick a Pattern Washi Tape just completes the card, don’t you think?

Spooky Nights…..

The Spooky Nights Suite has so many fun products that coordinate together so well (I guess that’s the point of a suite, huh).  I combined the suite with the Marbled Background stamp (if you don’t have this yet, you MUST order it — it is fabulous).  I swear you get a different look every time you use it.
