Across the Miles:

Good morning all - here we are at Thursday, and tomorrow is Friday - yipppeeee!!

I decided to get cracka-lackin' on my Christmas cards, so you will be seeing a lot from.

I started with this The House Across the Bay freebie (look for it here).  To mix it up a bit, I like to print out my vintage digis on patterned paper.  I used some printed book paper to give it a fun and different look.  You could practically change the look every time!

I added a few postage stamp stickers (the one below is part of the paper).  But the ones above around the edges are "older than the hills" stickers.  They came from a kit I bought about 10 years ago!
Card Ingredients:  The House Across the Bay digi, DCWV Timeless Type and My Mind's Eye Home papers, Recollections cardstock, Tim Holtz Frayed Burlap ink, Kaisercraft pearl brads.  Tools:  sewing machine, Oval Nestie, Making Memories edge scraper.


I made this vintage Christmas card for the following challenges:  Simon Says - trendy, jingle belles - going postal, lil red wagon - hexagons, Digi Haven - month long freebie, Merry Monday - sketch:


Well that is it for me today - have a wonderful Thursday and thanks for the visit!
