we interrupt your regularly scheduled monstaphase

to bring you an inexplicably sensible christmas card:

(patterned paper: basic grey, american crafts, sei, scenic route; tag & sparkly letters: k&co; eyelet lace & golden star bead thingie: courtesy of the lovely debb; other: colorbox inks, fiskars scalloppy border punch)

don't get me wrong. it's not that i didn't try to work a monster into this design! i did try...annnnnnnd try...and tryyyyyyyyyyyyy! but the card said, "nope. sorry. not this time." and stuck resolutely to its sensible christmas card guns. you've got to respect integrity like that, really. so in the end i left it alone and went forth to ply my monstas elsewhere. but don't worry...

THEY'LL BE BACK!!! :)

  3. Sure there is a monster in that card, no really there is. Just behind that Christmas , in the bottom l.h. corner. Go on have another look!
