Holiday cards

I stamped a wee bit the other night with some of our new A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA stamps.  They are not my best work - but I had fun playing around.  I didn't realize the lighting was weird (reflection of light from below) until I began editing the photos.

This first card is fast and easy, however, it does take a while for the glitter glue to dry!  I didn't realize that I had more than one green glitter glue and *thought* I was using Lime Stickles.  The color looked strange to me while I was applying it and when I was done I saw that it is actually "Holly".  LOL!

This next card didn't turn out quite like I had envisioned.  The tall skinny tree is the kind of tree that I think you would see at the North Pole.  And, the Carolers make me think of this scene from movie Elf (Makenna has been reciting this since she was three so it's kinda stuck in my brain! LOL!).

Gimbel's Manager: HEY! There's no singin' in the North Pole!
Buddy: Yes there is!
Gimbel's Manager: No there's not!
Buddy: We sing all the time!
Gimbel's Manager: No you don't!
Buddy: Especially when we build toys!

Sorry for the bad photo here.  This card makes me laugh... all the penguins sitting outside the igloo with the saying "May your house always be too small to hold all your friends."  The yellow on the top of the "scene" was supposed to be "Northern Lights".  I lightly tapped my Fluid Chalk yellow citrus cateye inkpad directly onto the paper.  It looks better in real life!

I have saved my favorite for last.  I just love this card.  It is so peaceful.  It's hard to see... there is "diamond" glitter glue on the branches of the birch trees.  To get the figure 8 on the ice, I  used an extrafne white Sharpie poster pain pen.  We sell them in the shop if you need one.

I had to buy a new "elf" dvd because we wore the first one out!! My three year old calls it "HO HO". We watch it year round!!! It's good to know that I'm not the only one that hears Buddy's voice in their head :) Your cards made me feel like doing cozy Christmas crafts today... then it got warm and I couldn't bring myself to do it just yet! Soon, though, very soon!
