Howdy folks! It’s been a long while since I posted last. Too many challenges with health and well-being, along with the great planning and excitement of my oldest son’s graduation from college! 🙂 I can’t tell you enough about how proud I am of his accomplishments! He has a job lined up – 2 days after graduation – and starts in January 2015.
Since I have a bunch of pictures of the cards I made for this Christmas – I will list supplies for all of them at the end of this post. I tried to remember everything I used, but I may have missed something – so if you have any questions, please leave me a comment, and I will try to address it as soon as I can.
While I own more stamps than any one woman should have, I also am in the same predicament with steel dies. I love, love, love them! The front of all the cards were done solely with dies – with the exception of one card. All of the insides of the cards, however, do have stamped sentiments (from Penny Black’s Christmas Cheer stamp set).
Without further ado ….
I used really pretty shimmer cardstock and the pictures do not do them justice! Even the shimmer from the Zig’s Wink of Stella pen does not show well in these pictures. I guess I need to invest in a better camera – these are taken from a little digital camera — any recommendations? I hear the DSLR cameras are great. Any thoughts about the Canon EOS Rebel T5 DSLR? I noticed the reviews on Amazon are great (and the prices for the camera and accessories packages are dropping).
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and pray for better health and happiness for the rest of this year and in 2015! Don’t be a stranger! 🙂
Hugs,
Stephanie
