Timeless Tuesday...Christmas in July

Hi all and Merry Christmas in July which is the challenge at TT today. Well my all time favorite set is the Santa I Believe set. He is the cutest image of Santa you could ever ask for and I tell you I'd love to plop my butt on his lap and have a little talk. This stamp is so neat because it takes little or no work to color. I just used my colored pencils and did a bit of color and added glitter to the rim of his snow hat and a few blingers to the holly berries. Not sure if that ribbon is really necessary and debated back and forth about putting it on. My GD Ellie said yes you need it and although I love her dearly...I 'm still not sure about it being there. My bg paper was from our stamp store that is now closed. Boo Hoo !!! So there you have it all done for this week. Hope you all have a great week and talk to you again soon.

This heat makes fav tasks become work to be reconned with at every turn, or so it seems by nightfall. Have you checked out Isabel's Scrapbook north across from Dos Machos? in the same strip mall as BeeFit. Isabel usually opens by noon and is there until five or six with good air conditioning for workspace and browsing. Now, Joanne opens 26th with official 27th and grand opening Aug 11 or 9 - 11 stay tuned for press release on that event. Craftland Billings style is mixing it up once again. Surely do miss the Dishrag's teaching/ workshop sessions!!! Good times and great projects!!!!!
Santa's specs look comfortable; wonder if you could share the secret to ease of resting frames?!! coloration makes it all look so giggly fun. Red bow item to consider when mailing and wrapping inside a gift; otherwise, let 'er flutter in blingland = grin.
Keep Looking UP! off to work on more fire victim quilts...label affixing tonight before zzzzztime.; July 26, 2012 at 12:22 AM

Your cards are always so classy, just like you. LOVE this one! Thanks for inspiring me to start contemplating the official card from me for '12.; July 26, 2012 at 7:38 PM
