Hey ladies! First off, Merry Christmas. I hope each and every one of you got at least a glimpse of the the true meaning of the holiday season. For our little family, we had a fondue Christmas Eve, no company this year but we got to hang out and everyone went to bed early! Yes, Early! I had an hour long bubble bath and crashed with a 9 hour sleep, can you believe that one? Christmas morning we were up at 8:30~I think that's a first too, it just shows how very busy we all were and needed some serious down time. We stayed snug in our jammies all day and played with new toys and ate junky food and laughed and just spent time together. It was nice. Boxing day we headed to Scotch Lake to see Brent's parents and sister and brother in law, and we spent the night. It was a very relaxing 4 days. Hey, after that lil girl's Christmas Party of friday, we needed it! Here is a picture of our Christmas Card this year.
I used the very beautiful Christmas Lodge stamp set out of the Holiday Mini catalog, with a twist... the airplane from the Sentimental Journey (retired) stamp set! Brent and I were endorsed this year with a 5 week Boeing 757 course and I think this airplane looks a little like a 757. (I know, we are a little different in this household, but it works lol). I used Early Esspresso cardstock and ink, of course crumb cake cardstock as well. Gracie did a lot of the glitter for me, which explains the over glittering... little girls love glitter. sigh. I ended up finishing off about 60 of them with the dazzling details and i love love love the result, it was a lot more subtle (well, what isn't more subtle than my girl's glittering job?) and easier to apply. The drying was a bit of a challenge
but i laid them all out and left them overnight so there was minimal damage when it was all said and done. If you are interested in the Christmas Lodge stamp set, head on over to my stampin up website to order it for yourself, we only have about another week before that Holiday Mini Catalog goes bye bye.
