Move Quickly

Every year my hubby tells me he needs Christmas cards for his employees a couple days before Christmas.  This year, I remembered early...YAY!  In addition, he adds, "nothing fancy".  He knows they will throw them away, once they get home.  So......I decided to use retired SU cardstock and stamp set.

The end of the year is a time when people reflect upon the entire year.  I am not the exception.  That is another reason I decided to use what I have on hand.  Out with the old and in with the new.  The new year will bring new stamp sets and paper with the occasions mini.  I can't wait!

I named this post Move Quickly, because I used the Movers & Shapers dies to make the scallop oval in the front of the card.  This die set is a "quick" way to make a card, especially when you have the scallop oval punch.  You know I do!  To spice up the front of the card I used the Vintage Wallpaper Impressions Folder. 

Tomorrow I continue my quick card series with a thank you card I made with the Manhattan Flower Impressions Folder.  See you then!

Give Thanks Turkey

I got this idea from my friend, Kim.  I rummaged through her project table and fell in love with this little turkey.  This can be used on a Thanksgiving table or just a little decor on your desk.  Love my punches!
