Well, it seemed appropriate yesterday considering the snow that had come down Friday night and settled overnight...
And the perfect excuse to try my hand at this week's Waltzing Mouse sketch challenge. :o)
Stamps: WMS, PTI
Paper: Crate Paper, Studio Calico
Dies: PTI
Pompom trim: The Ribbon Girl
Pearl: Kaiserckraft
Other: Distress Stickles, thread
All the stamps are Waltzing Mouse apart from the little tag border and button card border. I was happy to find that the PTI button card die is just the perfect size for this jar - rather like the combo together. And yes, Distress Stickles were left to dry overnight! LOL That way there is no temptation to go prodding with a finger to check if they've dried yet. ;o)
Well, I managed to make quite a few cards yesterday but think I will post them later in the week, let's just say I need to buy some more mini pompom trim! Managed to deplete my stocks a little.
Also had a very early start this morning despite the clocks going back and ready this cover to cover at 6 a.m. (old time!):
A really lovely Sunday read, now the dilemma is which book to start next! Or should I just get back to making some cards while getting my James Bond fix - it was Quantum of Solace yesterday, thinking Casino Royale needs a revisit today - so looking forward to seeing Skyfall when it gets a bit calmer at the cinema after opening weekend. :)
I mean Daniel and I are due some quality time together - big screen style!
I do like your jar of candy sticks! Such a lovely verse too! Great card.

I love the red white and kraft together - the candy and the pom pom trims make this just so fun and cheery!

Love the color combination you have gotten going here...those are such cute colored peppermint sticks and I always love little pom poms on holiday cards!

I love how you framed the jar with the stickles. You sound just like me....I need to leave anything with stickles to dry out of sight because I always want to touch it to see if it's dry too! Lol! Glad you resisited!
