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

Thank you for the love, Gail! Kind words keep us keepin' on! I love your silhouette Mr. and Mrs. Twofer in the glow of the street lamp as they celebrate Christmas! The background and scalloped border are perfect! Thank you for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and linking in the gallery there 📌 and at NBUS to inspire others! Hugs, Darnell
