Believe in the Magic of Christmas

 It's finally the weekend and I made sure I had time to create my son's Christmas card.  He will be 14 just eleven days after Christmas, so I wanted something that wasn't so child like, yet still wasn't too grown up either.  I used various MFT die-namics dies for this card, all of which will be linked below.


My friend Marsha sells Stampin' Up and she gave me some of the ink squares to try.  I loved the coverage that they gave.  I don't have a huge selection of colored ink pads, so it was nice to be able to try them.  The colors used here are Old Olive and Real Red.


Somehow I got a crease in the white CS on the inside of my card and I didn't notice it until I went to put it on my blog.

SUPPLIES USED:


I used an old MFTWSC sketch from last year.  You can find all off the past sketches HERE on Pinterest.

I also played along with the Curtain Call challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Heather

    How nice! I bet he is excited! Fourteen...has he been studying for his learners permit? Are you ready Mom? Jake got his school permit at 14 and drove to school for the golf team! It was hard at first, it seems so young!
