Oh Man, it seems like forever since I've had a chance to stamp, and because of that my blog has been very slow lately. So sorry about that, but life with 2 little boys under 3 has become hectic! But, just look at them! It's hard to resist these adorable, loving faces when they need me! Anthony is 3 and Alex is a shocking 6 months old in this picture. (He actually just turned 7 months earlier this week.) We also went on a mini-vacation to visit family up North for a wedding a few weeks ago and I finally unpacked the last bag just the other day. Things are slowly getting back to normal now and I was able to stamp for this week's DRS Designs Blog challenge!
The challenge this week features the hot trend using chevrons and arrows. I used one of DRS Designs newest Christmas stamps, the Christmas Village Post Office (114D) and 3 other stamps from their catalog to create my challenge card:
I used the Chevron card edger to decorate my red card base before adding any other elements to it. Then the white layer was stamped with the last 2 lines of the Peace Heart and Home Greeting and then it was embossed with the Swiss Dots folder for some texture. Next I stamped the Happy Thoughts greeting on beige card stock, trimmed it with blue card stock, and then added red ribbon before adhering it in place. The final step was to stamp the Post Office image, color it with Copics, and then mat it on a blue oval. A bit of fine glitter was added to the snowy areas of the roof top and the ground. That little bit of glimmer really pops on this card!
Well, that's it for me today. I hope to be able to stamp and blog more often in the coming days and weeks--and I have every good intention of doing so, but if things are quiet here for a while, you know why. No worries though, I'll be back soon.
Thanks for stopping by!
Smiles,
Jennifer
