Third Times a Charm

This card took me for-ev-er to finish. Ugh.  I don't know what my problem was, but it took several test cards before I finally figured out what I wanted to make.

Idea 1: FAIL

Idea 2: FAIL



Ideas 3-100000: FAIL



I'm blaming it on the time change and the Hubs schedule the past few weeks. I am so tired I can't even sleep, does that make sense? THANK GOD his coaching season is over and I have my life back!!!!!!  I can get back to my gym routine, I can FINALLY get my Etsy shop finished and open, I can craft my little heart out. Plus, I get to spend more time with hubs which is really nice.


So, here is the card. Blending and embossing out the wazoo, and I got to use my new Corner Chomper.








Hope you enjoy!


Supplies
Paper: Kraft, White, and Summer Sunrise Cardstock, Distressed Dots patterned paper (all PTI)

  3. Super cute, Danielle! Your coloring is great! Did you use a cotton swab for the lights? I love seeing some non-PTI stamps every once in a while!

  5. @Michelle - I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to restrain myself with the Corner Chomper!

    @Surfer - I used a Fantastix...although a cotton swab would have work just as well I'm sure!

  15. This is so beautiful! I think this is my favorite variation of the Lawn Fawn Cozy Christmas stamp set I've seen so far. It really looks like the fireplace is glowing! The effect is cool beyond words.

    My five-year-old son Dominic was just sitting beside me "reading" to me, and he looked up in time to catch a glimpse of your blog. He yelled "go back, go back!" until I got to the the picture. Then he said, "I love that guy!" Lol. See, you even got a second opinion!

    I'm going to go explore the rest of your blog now. :o)
