Webster's Pages and Merry Monday Challenge

I really think this should be an Oldie Moldie Monday post because I have had this paper for a year or two - but it is not.  It is a card for the Merry Monday challenge on Always Playing With Paper - a sketch challenge for making Christmas cards.

These are quite funky colors - I will have to pick who gets this Christmas card - some people may not appreciate non traditional cards.  The paper is a 6 x 6 pad from Webster's Pages - I have used some of this paper for non Christmas cards also.  The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp that I heat embossed in white.  The card base and other pink is a bling paper.  I don't think it is the Bazzill because it does not have any texture to it.  The gold is Bo Bunny.

Enjoy your day - party in the neighborhood and I need to go dig out some supplies for Amy.

Who would have thunk - Christmas papers - for a retirement card?

I was asked to make a retirement card from our Office.  The recipient of the card has worked for the University over 50 years and she has worked in the same position the majority of her years.  Wow - can you imagine - the changes she has seen.  Mind boggling.



This picture is an inspirational image from Moxie Fab World for one of Paper Crafts new special editions - Get Inspired.  This card is my inspiration - I have a greenish houndstooth paper in my card and also the clasp is a pearl and I used a pearl brad in the center of my flower.

The papers for this card are from two different Christmas collection - Melissa Frances and Webster's Pages.  I had to trim the Santa Claus off one paper in two different spots.  The flower is made from old pattern pieces - I have enough pattern pieces to start several greenhouses.  The "thank you stamp" is from Hero Arts.  The three sentiments in this stamp set - have become go to stamps for me.

I hope you enjoy my retirement card made from Christmas papers.
