Holiday Cardinals......FMS647

 



One holiday card finished!  Only 999 more to go! No I don't really make that many but I am notorious for starting my holiday cards way too late so it seems like I have a zillion to make all at once! I found a sweet sheet of DSP in my retired holiday stash and used it as a backdrop for the cardinals from the new holiday set Wintery Trees.

And while I was crafting my daughter took Emma and her friends to the new Minions movie to escape the afternoon heat!  I love how they dressed up like minions and made my daughter dress like Gru - whoever that is!


                                           








Karren designed a wonderful sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Hope you join us!





Stamps: Wintery Tree Tops (SU!), Holiday Silhouettes (Gina K)

Ink: Memento Black, Copics

  3. Oh, my goodness, Linda! What a gorgeous way to use such a pretty paper - what better place to perch a pair of bright red birds!
    Call me crazy, but I just love those Minions movies! Your daughter is such a good sport - good thing they didn't ask her to shave her head!

  4. Love that Christmas card, I need to stop hoarding that DSP and use some of it myself! Cute Minions too....and Gru may not be the most admirable character to have to emulate, but he does redeem himself!
