White as snow

Well it's finally Friday again.  I must say with working the 10-6 shift the days just fly right on by. By the time I get home from work and have dinner it's usually between 7-7:30, then at that time I really don't feel like doing much of anything.  Most nights I'm in bed between 9 - 9:30. I'm up at 6 and go for my 1/2 hour walk in the mornings because one knows I surely wouldn't feel like  it in the evening.

Last weekend I managed to get some cards done, and I actually worked on my first Christmas card of this 2013 season - woohoo for me!  It's really nothing exciting, but here it is:

When I was at The Paper Pickle last week, I saw that Kim had some new embossing folders.  I already own a couple of Christmas Tree embossing folders, but I loved the design of this one.  This is a Couture Creations EF, and it comes in 2 sizes - the regular A2 size, as well as the 5x7.  I went with the smaller one. The folder is called Early One Morning.

I embossed it on 110 lb white c/s. I love that there is already a frame around the tree.  I was going to mount it onto another piece of white, but thought that would be to blah, so put a layer of shiny silver c/s behind it. I think it is a bit more classier looking with the silver.  In the picture it looks like there is something on the silver above the star, but it is just a reflection from the light in my shadow box.

Finished off by adding some white liquid pearls to all the little dots and for the star I added some Tim Holtz distress glitter -  clear rock candy - and boy does this stuff sparkle!

So there you have it, my first holiday card done, and a kazillion more to go!

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend everyone.  See you again real soon,
