it's not officially the holiday cardmaking season until i've made the first monsta card

ok, *NOW* it's officially the holiday cardmaking season!

~♥♥♥~

the eagle-eyed sketch fanciers amongst you will have spotted that my card is based on laura's awesome sketch #39 from 2sketches 4you:



speaking of 2S4Y, imagine my surprise when i stopped by the other day to grab the sketch and discovered my photo underneath this cool badge:


quite a fabulous honor, for which i thank kazan and laura! it's also a lovely coincidence, since, as a matter of fact, this blogger 's 2S4Y!


**********

(materials: monsta cut from paperchase giftwrap; patterned paper: dcwv, vintage ledger paper, paper source glitter giftwrap; glitter cardstock: dcwv; santa hat sticker: recollections; metal snowflake: making memories; fibers: basic grey; snowflake sticker: k&co; fuzzy heart brad: doodlebug; ink: colorbox; adhesives: tombow mono runner, 3m foam tape, sewing machine...and yes, at some point i will stop sewing on EVERY SINGLE CARD...perhaps early in 2010...2011 at the *very* latest...)

  7. Oh, I am so happy! You made my day in so many ways:
    1) A perfect Lauren-y monsta card
    2) A witty sentiment "Dear Santa, I can explain..." brilliant!!!
    3) Cool sewing that mimics your awesome doodling
    4) Making 2S4Y side bar!!! How cool are you? Have you stopped smiling yet? I can't stop :)

    p.s. Wednesday night/Thursday were officially my worst days with this cold. The congestion in my head caused me excruciating pain. I slept only one hour that night. Ugh. I still can't sleep much, but I feel a bazillion times better. My parents have the girls this weekend so I can get better. I sure hope you are feeling better too.

  8. well thank GOODNESS! I was waiting for the official beginning of the holiday cardmaking season with Lauren - i was beginning to get nervous you weren't doing it this year (this is heresy to even think but like i said ...i was NERVOUS). i looove da monsta and knowing they believe in Santa is a relief. I'm sure Santa hears lots of splaining lucy but i'd love to hear this one LOL. wonderful card and don't stop stitching!
