Ahh Look What the Hubby Brought Home!

Aren't they gorgeous? Dave usally surprises me every year with a plant and again this year he caught me off guard with another HUGE poinsettia. What I love about my husband is that he remembers my mom too. She will be pleasantly surprised too.
So I didn't work much this weekend on my Christmas cards..Lordy beee..I really gotta get motivated. I have 5 cards in the works but I need to make about 25 more and the ideas aren't coming to me yet. I think I have a brain freeze. So I thought I would share a couple cards I made for my "special" friends last year.

It's an Outlines Rubber Stamp stamps that I used. Isn't this card gorgeous. I used shimmery pink and mauve paper, and brown shimmery paper and silver shimmery paper and loads of gold embossing powder!! Had to use the Swarovski crystals from Michaels on this card..nothing but the best. The stamps used were the Evergreen Branch, Star Ornament, Star Add On #1, #2 and #3. If you buy them all you won't have to do so much cutting and cutting isn't one of my fav things to do. LOL I failed that in Kindergarten.

Here's the same card except I did it in red instead of the pink and used the red Swarovski crystals. My friend Dena and I got together last year and worked on some and she made one using shimmery copper paper and shimmery brown paper and I told her I had better get that one in the mail for MY Christmas card. I've not seen it yet and I hope she's reading this post in hopes of motivating her to finish it and send it to me this year. Come on Dena..YOU CAN DO IT!! LOL Talk about a creative mind...ah..she blows everyone outta the water with her creations.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll have something new to show you but I'm not promising anything. Gotta play cards with mom and pop this evening.
Hope ya'll have a really happy day!
