Hi friends! How are you? What's up? Did you shop-til-you-drop this weekend? Are you tired of leftovers? The answers for me are yes, and yes! We finally finished up the last of the turkey last night and although it was delish, it was time to move on....LOL. Every meal since Thursday was turkey! Friday we went out shopping most of the day and I finished all my Christmas shopping! I don't really have too many gifts to buy, so that's not as impressive as it might first sound. We had a nice day being out in the buzz of the season. Lots to see.
So, it's officially time to start Christmas crafty projects! Today's card is made using this super cool new snowflake rosette die from Tim Holtz! I picked it up last week at Paper Garden and could not wait to make a snowflake!! It came out so beautifully...and then I sprayed (no exaggeration) half a bottle of shimmer smooches on it! It's realllllllly spark-a-lay!
All the papers are from the pretty My Mind's Eye paper collection called Merry and Bright!! It's hip and vintage and so so nice. I am obsessed with Rhonna Farrer right now....
Here's that snowflake rosette up close! Bam! Are you wearing your sunglasses? Can you tell how much smooch spritz is on there?! The brads are all from that same collection from My Mind's Eye... The velvet ribbon was in my stash already.
These are some Martha Stewart punched out snowflakes with brads in the center. I put some distress ink on them so they wouldn't be stark white - more vintage.
Okay so that's what I got for ya today! Hope you likey! Did you notice my new blog header? There's snow on the ground! I had fun doing that picture. Have a wonderful week everybody! XO
Wowie!! LOVE All the vintage shimmery goodness you've got going on here Girly!! 8-) Wow! just Gorgeous! 8-)
Hugs

What a beautiful, vintage, Christmas card! Love the colors and that giant snowflake. I would not have thought of aqua for the snowflake, but it's perfect! Your new seasonal Blog banner is out-standing!

Hello Bay Area neighbor!
I am so excited ... I just discovered you from Pinterest which led me to your awesome blog called Wanda. Your creations are classy. Love your banner, the title of your blog, your photography ... oh, my everything.
Ok, I just became a subscriber, FB fan, stalker follower! Did I miss anything more!?!
Come on over for a visit to my blog. Would love to have you as a fan too. One more thing what is the name of the rubber stamp in the photo of your banner? I'm guessing it's a Hero Arts ... too cute!
Thank you for ALL the inspiration!

Wow! How gorgeous, Wanda! This card is right up my vintage-loving alley! What gorgeous papers, and what a stunning design! That snowflake is jaw-dropping! Love the sparkle and shine!
Good for you for getting all your shopping done! I didn't do any shopping at all over the weekend. Do not like all that extra craziness of those sale days. :)

Beautiful card. Now that I have my new Vagabond, I can use some of Ti'm's dies. Is the MME pad a 6 x6 pad?
