Merry Pocket Card

The base paper of this card is a mystery to me. There's no name on it, but if I remember correctly, it was part of a prize I won for a challenge a couple years back. The color is beautiful... even more so IRL... and blends wonderfully with the ivory and whites I used with it.

The church scene is one I purchased online. I gave the roof a blanket of "snow" with my Twinklets Diamond Dust.

Side note: If you notice the miss use of words in my posts lately, it's because I've upgraded my Mac with the new El Capitan and it doesn't think I can spell. Good night!!!!! It seems to change the spelling of every other word I type.

The ivory flowers are all from I Am Roses and the pine and holly leaves were cut with Alterations Thinlits Holiday Greens. They all have a coating of matte medium and Twinklets DD.

The other dies I used are Prima's pineapple doily, Spellbinder's Classic Ovals and Floral Ovals. I used my We R Memory Keepers Scallop corner punch as well.

This morning the Penmaker, our DIL, Granddaughter and I drove over to Berlin for some much need produce. We seldom go over on a Saturday, but since we need to eat regularly and they have the best fresh foods, we decided to make the trip. The reason we don't like to go on a weekend is simply one word... tourists. Wow... so many of them. During the week is bad enough, but on a Saturday it's bumper to bumper. Thankfully, we were early and beat most of the crowd... and we're rewarded with a fridge full of oranges, grapefruit, salad fixings, and other goodies.

Have a wonderful weekend, friends!

Thanks for stopping by!
