I broke out my Season of Joy stamp set yesterday and made this card really fast. Last year this set was one of my favorites and I've neglected it this year. The "Merry Christmas" is from the Holidays & Wishes stamp set (I like it better).
The Riding Hood Red cardstock is 11 x 3 1/2 scored at 5 1/2. The Kraft cardstock is 2 1/8 x 3 3/4 & the vanilla cardstock measures 1 7/8 x 2 3/4. I used Timber Brown Stazon for the greeting & the tree and I sponged the edges with Close to Cocoa.
Have a great Saturday....see ya tomorrow!
p.s. I saw Twilight again yesterday....that makes 2 times in less than 24 hours. I may have to see it again and again :) I'll try to not give alot of details here.....but....here's the thing...if you read the books...nothing I can say will affect you. Our local paper today had negative things to say about the baseball scene....personally I loved it!! If you haven't read the books just maybe the scene was confusing....and for those of you that have seen it...did you recognize Stephenie Meyer in the movie?
p.s. thanks for all the kind emails and comments about my new photo......I've been growing my bangs out for over a year..... and I wear my hair up 80% of the time (decisions...if I pull my hair up ...that gives me more stamping time....which one do you think wins? :))

Oh...saw the movie too and loved it! Of course, there were some things left out of the movie (from the book), but they would have to make a 10 hr movie to include everything! Glad I read ALL the books...maybe it would be a bit confusing without having prior knowledge...Loved seeing her in the movie!
Love the new pic! Growing the bangs out is a tough one...Congrats on suffering through!

I love your new picture, too! I did see Stephanie Meyer in the movie! I was so proud of myself that I recognized her (at the counter of the diner, right?). Thanks for the inspiration - I look forward to reading your blog every day!

Ohhh, I love your new pic!
I love all of your holiday cards too! I have Season of Joy and for some reason I have been having a hard time coming up with ideas for it. Your card is so simple, yet beautiful! TFS

I enjoyed Twilight also! I'll be going to see it again soon. Oh, just thought you'd like to know that they will begin filming New Moon in February. Sweet!! I wasn't sold on Rob Pattinson at first either, but once the trailers came out I softened to the idea. Who knew that Billy Black would be hot?!
Thanks for all the great stuff you post on your blog and your fab-u videos.

Hi Angie! Been a follower of your blog for many months now, I have learned so much from you and if I'm ever stumped on and idea, I run to your Stampin' Academy. I think your designs are awesome. I was one of the lucky ones, and made the midnight showing of Twilight. I am so in love with Edward!! :) I enjoyed the movie and plan on seeing it again and again. I've read all 4 books, too. I have to say, I missed Stephenie at the diner, so that just gives me something to look for the NEXT time I see the movie. I agree with what Karen said, who knew Billy Black was going to be so handsome? I was blown away by both James and Emmett, too. I'm looking forward to seeing it again and again and...
