Season's Greeting the Simple Way

Today I decided to make a card using some of the new things that I received in my Stampin'UP! order from the new catalog. It is a very simple card and so very easy to make. If I wanted to make multiples of this card for Christmas it would not take me long to make them. But I have a feeling that I will be making Christmas cards using  different stamps and papers and not duplicating many of them. Okay on to the card.

To make this card I used Stampin'UP! Confetti, Whisper White and Olive Green Card-stock. I used The Polka Dots Backgrounder from Cornish Heritage Farms and the sentiment from To You and Yours from Stampin'UP! The designer paper and  designed scalloped die cut are from the  I Wish Simply Scrappin'  set also from Stampin'UP!  I used Real Red ink from SU and to make the polka dots on my card I used Brilliance Moonlight White ink from Tsukneo. The ribbon is from May Arts. I used a 2 " scallop punch from EK Success to make the Old Olive round scallop. I popped up both the small round circle and the larger circle to give extra dimension to my card. Today I was in the mood to make an easy Christmas card and that is exactly what I ended up with. At first I was not too sure that I liked the end result. But the more I looked at it the more I liked it. :) The finished size of my card is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2".

My weekend flew right by me. I never did make it to the Audubon Society this past Sunday because I had the wrong weekend for the dragonfly meeting. It was the Sunday before last. Grrr. I stayed up extra late Saturday to get my dragonfly photos onto a CD to bring with me. I had my clothes all set to go for the morning and then................I checked my date book right before I began getting ready because I had this nagging feeling that something was not quite right. Well, I am glad that I checked because getting out and then back home was going to be quite the journey due to  the Sylvania 300 Races. Wayne is very happy that I checked too. :) 

Tomorrow I have PT and then I will be going toStamping Memories to pick up a few items and chat with Liz and Bette. Then off to run a couple of errands and get back home by 6 PM so that I can take the on-line class that CHF will be having. Have you signed up for it? I am quite excited about this class. All of the classes that I have taken with them has been awesome. How cool is it that they are free classes?

Well, I am off to cut up some stamps so that I can stamp some more cards in the coming days. I hope that you all have a wonderful week. Smile. :)

Love the card Mary. Too bad you missed your dragonfly group. You really had some beautiful pictures of them. One of my friends told me that they are really hard to photograph. Have a great week. Hugs n' Stuff, Lynne

This card certainlyu doesn't look easy--it looks very elegant. Love the white dots. Can't wait to see more of your creations with your new stamps. Have fun at your favorite stamp store. Wish I had one of them near me like that.

Mary - Your designs are always so beautiful and polished. I bet every one who receives one places it in their memory box or album.

So very cute Mary. I like simple and clean lines like this. Sorry you missed the Dragonfly thing at the AS. Sounds like it would have been very interesting.

Enjoy your weekend!
