Magical Season II

Here's another card with the October Stamp of the Month. The scalloped piece I used to mat the stamped image was cut with my Cricut (Mini Monograms cartridge). There are scallop punches on the market in a variety of sizes, too. The embossed background piece was created with my Cuttlebug (I feel like a poster child for Provocraft!). The color combination is Crystal Blue and Petal - a bit unconventional for Christmas but pretty nonetheless. I used a little Prisma Glitter to give it some sparkle (me, too!). I am going to miss CTMH's Background & Texture papers. The Autumn Harvest and one of the winter collections (Winter Cozy, I believe) are already sold out. I hope that there is something coming to replace them. I really like having papers to match all (or at least, most) of the cardstock colors.

Sad as it is, I believe this is going to be the only card I'm going to be able to make tonight. Last night, I took a two-hour snooze after supper, which resulted in my staring at the clock until around 4 a.m. this morning. It didn't help that I was waiting for a phone call. Dustin and his girlfriend flew to Las Vegas last night, and he told me he'd call when they landed. I expected to hear from him around midnight. By 12:30, I was concerned. He called at 1:15. Their plane had been delayed in Fargo. In conclusion, I'm going to be early tonight.
