Special Cards for Special Girls

Today I had planned to show another card designed using the new Christmas Lodge Stamp Set from the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog.  My plans for the day changed and I didn't have time to make another card.  Instead I got to spend a great day with my best friend just simply spending time together.  It is time I so treasure.

What I am sharing tonight are the cards I made for my sweet little girls who I sponsor at Cien Fuego Children's Center in the Dominican Republic.  They are two very special little ladies!

Jahely will be seven next month so her's was definitely a birthday card.  Bright, cheerful just like her adorable smile.

 
Sulennes' is just to let her know I am thinking of her.  She has a gorgeous smile and her eyes just sparkle.

The majority of the cards are from retired product but I wanted to share these with you anyway.  I know the girls love getting mail.

Be watching over the next weeks to come.  Many new things are on the horizon that I will be sharing with you, even a contest or two.

Christmas Lodge Tree

Finally, I had a chance to play with some of my new Holiday Mini products.  What I find so interesting about all of this, is usually I'm the last one to even begin to think of Christmas until after Thanksgiving.  With all the fantastic new products, Christmas has grabbed hold and we're off and running.  Yes, I will tone it down the closer we get to Thanksgiving.  I do have several Thanksgiving projects in the design sketch stage that I will share with you later.

In the meantime let me introduce you to one of my favorite sets from the Holiday Mini, the Christmas Lodge Stamp Set.  This is just one of six stamps in the set.  I have a thing for trees so when I saw this one, I just knew we were going to become close friends. While this is a pine tree, my favorite tree is the oak.  Tall, majestic and beautiful, they are a study in the sturdiness of God. There is no other way to describe them.   The Lovely As A Tree Set has a fantastic oak tree stamp.

Stamp Set:  Christmas Lodge; Inks:  Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler; Card Stock:  Early Espresso, Whisper White; Accessories:  Cherry Cobbler Emboss Powder, 3/8" Early Espresso Quilted Satin Ribbon, Big Shot, Top Note Die, Sponge Dauber, SNAIL Adhesive, Mini Glue Dots

Tomorrow's card will feature another stamp from the Christmas Lodge Set.  And, be sure to place your Summer Mini order soon.  Next Wednesday is the last day you can order from that Catalog.
