Today's Card - Reindeer Games. All of a sudden, I'm hoping this makes sense to you like it does me. My concern is the "reviewer" in the house didn't get it. Maybe because he has the cold and cough that I'm still working to get rid of... Ugh, germs!
Recipe:
Real Red - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper White - 5 1/4" x 4" (times 2 - one inside as well)
Stamps - Santa's Suit, Seasonal Chums and Labeler Alphabet
To make the sign that the snowman is holding, I used a ruler for a short line and stamped "GAMES" first. Then I took one of the little measuring cup to make a pencil line for REINDEER centering over the M in games. When dry, gently erase the pencil line. The sign is colored with the Bronze Stampin' Blend marker.
Thank you for looking in today. Happy December 1st!! How did it get to be DECEMBER so quickly, wasn't it just January?

This is a really hard card to re-create, but I have a feeling you can pull it off! Okay, so it's not that hard. Let's give it a go!
Recipe:
Chocolate Chip - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Crumb Cake - 5 1/4" x 4" (2 - one inside, one outside)
Stamps: Sweet Home and Labeler Alphabet
Ink: Early Espresso
That's it! Really, nothing more. Except maybe a tip. Before adding your words, use a ruler or straight edge of some kind and make a very light pencil mark. When done and the ink is completely dry, gently erase the pencil mark.
Thank you for looking in today.

No idea why this popped into my head, but it did. Somewhere in my 3-day weekend brain, I started thinking of a song and you know how songs are, they get stuck in your head and won't go away.
It may have been a commercial on t.v., who knows, but here is what it produced.
On my craft table, I noticed I still had a couple of Cookie Cutter Halloween friends laying around and decided I needed to use them, before they got lost.
Knowing I didn't have the sentiment I wanted, I grabbed my Labeler Alphabet and made it myself.
Recipe:
Pumpkin Pie 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Halloween Night Designer Series Paper - 4 1/4" x 1 1/2"
Whisper White - 5" x 1 5/8"
I popped Mr. No Body up with Stampin' Dimensionals
Inside - Whisper White 5 1/4" x 4"
Adorable??? Right? I'm tickled with it! I hope you are too!
You may ask... why does it look smudged up all over? Well, that's a very good question. I could fib and tell you it was planned, but I'm terrible and fibbing, so here's the truth.
I left the ink pad open, the stamp case touched it and when I pulled it back across the table to put my letters back inside. BOOM - ink on my card. ARRRGHHHH! Ok... this is about a Mummy, so, smudge up the rest of the inside to match! Ta- Da!
Works for me... Hubby liked it too, so Yay! ha ha ha!
Back to the office today after a three day weekend. I have to say, I'm ready to go back. Too much to do around here, I need to go back to a normal work day! Time to get ready for the General Election now and I imagine my email box will start filling up very quickly with the important questions about registering to vote and ordering a mail ballot.
Thank you for looking in today ~ Happy Tuesday! ~ Donna
p.s. You'll see the list below of items used. While I didn't use the Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle, it is something you will want to get in addition to the Cookie Cutter Halloween. The Christmas one comes with the punch in a bundle, the Halloween one does not, so you would need to order the punch separately. You really NEED the punch! :)
