Speech Bubble Christmas


It was an absolutely gorgeous day today so I didn't spend much of it in the Craft Cave.  I ran some errands and spent a few hours this afternoon with a couple of girlfriends. Then Atticus and I went for a walk and played some ball.  Once he was finally tired I decided I'd have time to squeeze in a card before Luis got home.  For this one I've played along with the Just Us Girls sketch and the Dynamic Duos colours.


Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Bazzill
Patterned Paper:  Adornit, Fancy Pants, Me & My Big Ideas
Stamps:  (Speech bubble from He Said, She Said) Paper Smooches, (Merry from Tremendous Treats: Christmas) Papertrey Ink, (Christmas from Traditional Christmas Greetings) Woodware
Inks:  (VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Embossing Powder:  (Clear) Ranger
Punches:  (1 1/2" circle) EK Success, (2" circle) Marvy Uchida
Gems:  (Lily White collection) Doodlebug

Really like this fun card. I shy away from the DD challenges cuz I have a hard time with some of the combos of just two colors but yours is so cute. The multiple patterns is a great idea.

Finally tired...I like that ;) Abby will go until she actually falls down from exhaustion, so I tend to watch her pretty closely now that I know that!
Love this fun card :) Such a cool idea for speech bubbles!

I love that you took a totally non-Christmas stamp and made a holiday card! Totally fun and modern! I seem to be very into the non-traditional holiday cards this year:)
