You would think really, as my virtual advent finishes on the 24th December and there is a family Birthday on the 25th I could automatically post it for everyone to see. In reality it's the 17th January 2015 before I post that card and somehow I'm cutting it fine with getting January cards delivered in time!!
In all of the excitement of the festivities I still managed to get a pre-order for the new Spring/Summer catalogue (see right), with the added bonus of Sale-A-Bration goodies with every £45 spent - hee hee hee!
I'm getting the hang of the Photopolymer stamps, this one is Celebrate Today, and the visibility allows easy alignment. As we can all do with a bit of sparkle on our Birthday, (especially when it's on Christmas Day), I've used some glimmer paper as backing, with some off cut Strawberry Slush and Wisteria Wonder for a juxtaposition layout. The matching Balloon Framelit Die just gives a little definition to the balloon border, and I kept the colours pink for a girl, with Pink Pirouette Ink for the balloon. This format is easily transformed for the first boy birthday of January, with a change of colour.
Having had a little time to root through my SU stash it has allowed ne to realise quite how much DSP is hiding in the corners ;-) I thought this retired DSP co-ordinated superbly with Brights Bermuda Bay, using the Die for the balloon, printing in Night of Navy. Makes a superb matching present tag too ;-)
Keep on crafting, you know it makes sense ;-) Gen xxxx
