A Christmas Carol


I'm looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with family on Thursday, but we're busy preparing for Christmas... especially our play... A Christmas Carol.  My hubby is Scrooge! :)  I was so excited to find these Graphic 45's "A Christmas Carol" stamps.  I'm making cards for the families in the cast.  I've got one done!  [Need almost 20, so I'd better get busy!!]

Aren't these wonderful????
I got a really good deal for all 3 on eBay! :)  Then I found the paper discounted at Blitsy.com.  [If you don't know about Blitsy, you need to go check them out!!  Click HERE]




Enough bragging about my bargains, here's my card...


I have a love/hate relationship with my camera.  Some days, I am thrilled with how it captures the colors and shades of my card.  Then there are days like today!  I tried both natural and artificial light and neither came out very true-to-life.  ((I know!  I know!  It's not the camera, it's the operator!))

I used Graphic 45 A Christmas Carol stamps and DP (from the 8x8 pad).   I used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A and Spellbinders Labels One and Scalloped Labels One.

What a beautiful Christmas card, Debbie! Looks like you did a lot of coloring! I understand camera issues since I have the same problem. I hope you get all your cards done quickly. :) Thanks for playing with us at 'This the Season.
