  Sunny Season's Greetings!  My Daughter in Law's parents are in one of those warm beachy climates ( I forgot the exact place ) right now and during a video call last week I was able to see the gorgeous view... just unbelievable beauty.  Now this wasn't quite the view... however it's been in my head since. So this morning I decided I would create a card using a stamp set that I bought for the holiday season, and ended up using it only once. Yikes... have you ever done that? While thinking of that beautiful ocean view I thought of all the people who don't live here in cold, cold Canada and realized that everyone's Christmas season doesn't involve snow and pine trees.  With that in mind I created a card with a "sandman" instead of the traditional snowman.  The creation of this card involved some blending, masking and just stamping.  The Greeting is popped up on dimensionals and I am sure I'm going to go back and die cut those sunglasses and pop t...

 

  Here's a quick & easy Christmas card, that would have been this week's 5 Minute Monday.  However, on Monday I was at Chemo with my daughter in law and there is no where else I would have been. Now if I were completely organized with the many things I juggle on a daily basis ~ I would have already had the post prepared for this card when Monday came, but that is so not me... I am always just flying by the seat of my pants these days.  Therefor.. it's 5 Minute Tuesday this week!  When I thought about today's card, I knew it was going to be a quick and easy card ( since that's what 5 Minute Monday entails) yet I wanted it to be different than just pretty paper or die cuts. So I thought "simple stamping". I realized that over the years I have been using so many beautiful papers and dies that I forgot my original roots when creating cards, which was simply stamping.  So our card today involves only the "Trees for Sale" stamp set. When it was re...
