HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS - Day 1


It's Monday and will be honest, Monday is NOT my favorite, besides the fact that I woke up 33 (that is right I said 33 minutes late). In Mom land that equals 4-5 days! What we accomplish in 33 minutes is crazy!! I am impressed that no ONE was late for school or work, so all is good. It will take me the day to recoup!!
Here is cute little house card I did using ONLY the Christmas Cheer cartridge. For the house I used the Recollections paper and sanded it down to get the weathered look. For the snow on the rooftop and snowman and the snow on the bottom I had glitter paper that I bought at Target, it is great paper, it is so thick. It was 59 cents for 2 pieces. The xmas trees, on page 92 cut at 2" and 3". The snowman was on page 122 3" (I cut of his arms, poor Frosty), they didn't fit! Snowflakes are cut at 1.5" and are on page 106 and the wreath cut at 1.5 on page 124. I added some glitter to the trees and tried to make my own snowflakes with the glitter as well. Didn't turn out as I would have liked, but no two snowflakes are alike right? I am going with that!! Make a great Monday!!

  1. Cute-cute-cute! I hate it when I wake up late. You're so right about what a mom can do in half an hour. I can get done in 1 hour what takes my boys a week to do. LOL

  6. Kel, Dawn and I talk about how our lives are measured in minutes, especially in the morning, when minutes are not our friends, lol! So that is why I put 33, because I woke up at exactly 6:03 and I am suppose to be at 5:30.LOL!!! I did feel bad for Frosty's big long arms, lol!

    I love waking up late. Oh wait... it must be because I don't have kids to get off to school anymore. :) Getting old has SOME perks! Ha ha ha.
