Christmas Midnight Madness

I guess all the preparing that Susan and I did for our Christmas in July event last Saturday put me in the Holiday spirit. I can't stop thinking about Christmas cards and possible projects for Christmas. So when I saw this week's challenge for Midnight Madness, I immediately thought of this stamp set. This stamp set is "SEASON OF JOY". I have used it many times and I think it is a good versatile set. It is a set that you can get many different looks from. I again used the new designer paper "MERRY MOMENTS". I love this paper! I used markers to color in the words on the tag. By using markers, I was able to make the words many different colors. I stamped the Poinsettia in Real Red, placed gold brads in the center, and used dimenionals to raise the flower. This card went very quickly for me. I think because I did not play around with a lot of possibilities fro a change. The idea was in my head and it just flowed out for some unknown reason and it felt right when I was finished. For those people who really know me, they will tell you that after I make a card or a scrapbook page, I leave it lay on a table for a while. I walk past it during the day looking at it. If something doesn't feel or look right, I will change it. But it lays there in pieces until I walk past it and don't feel I need to change anything and then I attach all the pieces. This time, it just felt right. I hope you feel the same way about it. The supplies that I used for this card were:

STAMP SET: Season of Joy

PAPER: Whisper White, Real Red, Merry Moments DSP

INK: Real Red

ACCESSORIES: Garden Green, Real Red, Yoyo Yellow and Night of Navy Markers, Jumbo Eyelets, Gold Brads, Eyelet Border Punch, 1/4" Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon

I hope this got you into the Christmas spirit! This is the time of year I start to make my Christmas Cards. I always start now so that I finish early and do not feel so rush closer to Christmas. Go and enjoy the rest of your day!
