I got another one done!
This time of year is SO busy - I have so many things going on (my hubby's work Christmas party coming up, a local comedy night outing, my daughter's birthday, planning for Christmas, not to mention work, housecleaning, etc etc etc!!) that it's hard to keep track and stay focused!
Needless to say I am REALLY happy I updated the software on my iPhone and now have the little "Reminders" app/thing where I can make checklists. It's a lifesaver!! I'm never without my phone so being able to put in all my "to-do" lists in one spot and not having to worry about losing it makes life a tad bit easier ;o)
Anywho back to stamping.

And now for today's card:
This card has NO coloring at all - quite a step out of the box for me LOL! For the past couple of years the majority of stamping I do involves line images and therefore coloring in all said images. I don't do much "solid stamping" anymore - but I like it. Especially as it's a LOT faster since you don't have to take the time to color it in!
All told this card took well under half an hour to make. Obviously I sped up the video and cut out the parts of me fiddling around so it's a lot quicker than that.
I had to pull out my Snowflake Sentiments set for this card. I haven't used this set since last year? I think it was last year we released it - who knows I can't keep track of anything anymore. Anywho it's a favorite set of mine and makes for quick cards.
And also you don't HAVE to have the Ornament dies either - a circle or oval shape would work great. Or even a square/rectangle (which was actually the plan I had in my head - this card had a whole other look before I actually sat down to make it LOL! If I have time I might try to re-create it the original way for another video - we'll see what happens)...
