Sooner Than You Think

This afternoon I was supposed to have a workshop, but the hostess got sick and cancelled on me.  At first I was a little disappointed but then I realized that it would give me a whole day to make cards.  Spare time has been a little scant in my life as of late, so I was happy for the change in plans.

I have a Christmas card buffet coming up next weekend and I wanted to have a few more styles added to the pile.  Here's what I came up with this morning.  Not too bad for a couple hours and a few cups of coffee.

Stamps:  Dasher, Season of Joy, Pennant Parade, Four the Holidays

Pennant Crazy

I went a little crazy this afternoon.  Punch crazy.  I wanted to make some cheery cards using the brights collection, so I grabbed my stack of patterned DSP and punched away.  I ended up with a pile of pennants covering my desk, and here's what happened.  I ended up with 12 cards on some variation of this template.  Fun.  Fun.  Fun.  This makes me want cake and ice cream - and a party hat.
