Have I got a SURPRISE for You!!!

You have got to go over and check this video out on the

Hallmark Ladybugs blog...I'm not going to tell you what it is, but run don't walk over there and check out what DeeDee has posted for this weeks tutorial...it's just SPECTACULAR!!!!

After you go and check out the tutorial you have got to go over to Hallmark Scrapbook and check out their SUPER SALE on Cricut cartridges...this is a perfect time to purchase those carts that you have been eyeballing...

Here's my 2nd entry into Regina's Christmas card contest over at Bitten By the Bug Blog... we were to use any cut from any cartridge and make it into a non traditional color Christmas card...here's what I came up with...tell me what you think...

it's a chipboard Santa card with a lighted lantern (flameless tea light) , a little bling and some animal print on his robe. (our little one says he's in his p.j's...lol..) I also used some watch parts for the cutout in the lower left corner, some batting for his beard, a little magnifier in his left hand attached to his belt with a chain so he won't loose it...

on the inside I did some masking with some Tim Holtz grungeboard for the background paper, added a stamped Christmas greeting that I made using the rubber stamp kit for the Pazzles machine (that I purchased in the store at Hallmark Scrapbook), and attached both sections of the card using Tim Holtz grungeboard with some little screw eyelets.

Thanks for stopping in and I hope everyone has a great weekend....

you can click on the photos to get a better view of the card if you would like to....
