I Remember When

Hello Nomad friends.  Today feels like a bit of a bonus day so I decided to take advantage, buckle down and make some makes.  When I manage a twofer I always think of the lovely Darnell, who is the queen of twofers, NBUS, IDEAS, acronyms and hamsters.  I hit the scraps for almost everything here, except the card bases, and maybe the original panels, cos I can't think of 6x4 as a snippet LOL.

This is the first time I used this TH Vault Christmas die set and also the Studio Light Christmas sentiment stamps, inventively called stampsl412.  Catchy!!!!! 

This guy reminded me of all those crazy years when I would rush around seeking the perfect xmas present for all those people who didn't want or need it.  Now, if I manage to exert myself, all you get is some homemade jam, maybe a selection of handmade cards, or some dubiously handsewn good intention.  Ho Ho OH!!!!! 


Here's the female version.  Both cards are white card bases and a white panel cut with Marianne Design large postage die.  I managed a small surround, which in the interests of saving the planet I coloured with a yellow sharpie and added back around the cut panel.  I found black scraps and cut the silhouette people and lamposts.  I stamped the sentiments and Lost Coast Designs small shadow circle frame in yellow for a warm glow.  Then I embossed the panels with a magazine embossing folder.  The dude also got a snippety wreathe.  

OK, off to make more stuff.  Plan A bwahahaahahaa.  
Thanks for dropping by.   Hugz
