Sorry, guys!

It's been a REALLY hectic week, and I'm totally wiped out today - but HEY, I'm HERE. :) (I guess I'm feeling my age a day early! :D )

So, today I'll share both November and December, encourage you to enter the FOURTH ANNUAL BIRTHDAY CARD CONTEST - and there are some really great entries so far!!! - and then MONDAY we'll start back to the cards and 3D items you seem to love so much. :D

Here's November!

I ♥ my Big Shot! :D Do you SEE how simple, how uninked, but how STUNNING this layout is? All thanks to that wonderful machine! We used Texturz plates on the background, and the leaves die for - what else?!? - the leaves. Rich colors and texture, space for lots of photos or even lots of journaling. LOVE it!

And finally, December!

(Oops! The light cast a shadow! :D )
Yes, I did pull out the Iridescent Ice embossing powder for this one. I love Christmas!!! I think this is the first time I've really mentioned it, but it's coming FAST. :D

Anyway. That's LOVELY AS A TREE, *still* not retired! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!! The ornament punch with some of my favorite DSP, and voila! a really fun, subdued page for any holiday photos!

OK. I'm DONE. :) Have a WONDERFUL weekend, STAY COOL - big heat advisories out, neighbors, so BE CAREFUL! - and be SURE to take the time to STAMP something! Don't forget the contest!!!
