Muse Challenge # 97

Boy did that weekend disappear quickly! The kids had a lot of friends over both days and I was gardening, shopping and playing chauffeur to all the children. Its now Sunday night and it all seems a blur. However, I did manage to have a rather big card making session last night, so have a few posts to do.

 

Isn't this little dinosaur so adorable?? This week at Muse we have a wonderful card from Therese Calvird. Unfortunately this is her last post as part of the Muse DT and I will really miss her cards. She is an amazing designer and her colouring skills are out of this world!

As usual I didn't quite have the craft doo-dads to create a polaroid, so had to create something similar:

I die-cut the film strip from white CS and cut a piece of patterned paper to fit behind it. Santa was stamped in black and then cut out by hand. I coloured the hat and cheeks and used Wink of Stella on the fur band and pom pom of his hat. I adhered him in his window with the paper behind. This was stuck to the card front. I then stamped the sentiment in red, threw in a little bling and ta da!

The film-strip die is from Pretty Pink Posh. The patterned paper from Lawn Fawn 'Peace Joy Love'. The 'Santa' stamp is from Kaisercraft. The 'joy' stamp is from Winnie and Walter 'The Big, the Bold and the Merry' and the 'to the world' stamp from WPlus9 'Hand lettered holidays'. The rhinestones are from Kaisercraft.

Phoebe is off to the beach with her class tomorrow for the day. Hopefully the weather will improve as the sun (and heat) seems to have left us for the moment. I'm sure she will have a great time no matter the weather. I've got a few hours of gardening to do in the morning and then hopefully a bit of Xmas shopping. Fingers crossed I can find what I'm looking for!!!

Take care
