”Let's be naughty and save Santa the trip." — Gary Allan

 Hello!

Hope you are well!


That is a HUGE background stamp I bought a few years ago!

I embossed it in gold, and I think it turned out pretty good. Then I needed something to go on it! I die cut a TON of trees before settling on this one! The others were airy/ see through, and they just didn't do it! So will be about half a dozen tree cards for the Tuck Shop!!

I am linking it up:

Allsorts Week 757 Anything Goes/ Option Stitching: Real ~ Faux. I am anything goes this round. I really need a minute to figure out why my craft sewing machine isn't working!

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #81 If It's Christmassy, link it up!

Double Trouble Challenge #155 Die-cember/ partnering with Use Your Stuff

Happy Little Stampers/ December Christmas A/G Optional: Festive Animals. They will also be on an extended break in 2024

Make My Monday Challenge Oh! Christmas Tree! Or Forest of Trees

Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenge #2348 Anything Goes

Use Your Stuff Challenge #481 Partnering with Double Trouble/ This is their very last challenge so want you to WRAP IT UP! So use Ribbon, Bows, Twine, Washi Tape etc! I used twine. And a gold heart bead that needed a home!

Extra shift at the Tuck Shop for me this afternoon!

Still raining  buckets, but warm! I should be done my gallivanting this week before it snows and freezes!

Talk to ya later!

Stay safe!
