I love all of the flasks in this background paper!
I unpacked almost all of my kitchen last night, and placed things in the new cabinets. A few of the cabinets changed size (or configuration)…not sure if I like how I have things this first iteration. Luckily, I can always try again!

I was in the mood for a shaker card! (no particular reason)
The background is ink blended through a falling heart stencil (Simon Says Stamp). The sentiment is a sticker from the Simon Says Stamp February 2016 card kit (Crate Paper).
Here is a close up of the shaker window:
Supplies: paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Real Red, inks – Stampin’ Up! Real Red, Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Ink Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar, dies – Lawn Fawn (stitched rectangle), Spellbinders (heart), stencil – Simon Says Stamp, sequins – Doodlebug Designs, metallic hearts – Crate Paper, glitter – Stampin’ Up!, sentiment sticker – Crate Paper.
Here is the card that I designed (and executed, of course!) for my parents to send this year. The inside sentiment reads, “Sending love from our house to yours this holiday season”, and is from a wood mount stamp by Hero Arts. I started Friday morning, finished 25 cards Sunday morning. (Hopefully, I won’t injure myself patting my own back on that accomplishment!)
I had a moment Friday morning that sounded a lot like Colin Firth practicing for “The King’s Speech”…cutting white base cardstock (I use 110# Neenah for bases – really heavy stuff), I cut the 25 I needed and OH! I only have 2 full sheets left. Yeah. Needless to say, I got right on the internet & ordered more (I was waiting to see if I would get a grant from the local arts council to help defray the cost of new supplies since some of my art work floated down Main Street in the July 30th flood.). Now my rainy day fund is gone. Still hoping for some amount of a grant!

Do you go out and shop on Black Friday? I have never gone shopping on Black Friday. The deals are not worth the stress to me – too many crowds, too many lines, not enough parking spaces.
SO…on to the challenge! Here is the inspiration:
I was inspired by the white tree, the blue gift boxes, and the various shiny metallics.
The sentiment is from the Papertrey Ink Holiday Wishes set, bought eons ago.
