Christmas cards and cool furniture finds of the day

 
Ooh, these mittens look so cozy! I love the glitter on them. This was one of the five designs at a recent 10-card Christmas class.
 
 
I CASE'd this card from Jill Hilliard, though I changed the embossed part to a Delicate Design Folder. It uses the Make a Mitten stamp set and Mitten Builder Punch, along with Greetings of the Season with Baja Breeze and Island Indigo colors of ink and card stock.
 
 
I had the best day today! Look at my biggest score - a $25 pew! The seat compartment opens. I think it's adorable. My BFF Kim and I went to a vintage market, a thrift store, and a handful of garage sales. We each got a pew at a moving sale. Eric - an actor who starts filming on the TV show I Hate My Teenage Daughter next month - is helping his mom purge two storage units and a garage so he can move her to a condo he bought for her in Los Angeles. He's quite the talker, and an absolute sweetheart! I also found these two items at the moving sale:
 
 
This little unit is sitting on a shabby chic table I bought at the vintage market today. Eric's mom had used it to hold onions and potatoes. This is a "before" photo. It cleaned up nicely. I can't wait to use it at the Tacoma Holiday Food & Gift Festival next month. Kim and I have been working on lots of fabulous handmade crafts!
 
 
This was another little table I picked up. I like that it has a clear, hinged drawer and is sturdy.
 
Now for more Christmas cards:  





 
Sassy Salutations and Snow Festival dsp using a Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch from a couple of weeks ago.

 
A sentiment from More Merry Messages and the Music Notes standard wheel, CASE'd from Deb Lalim.
 
 
A monochromatic card in Soft Suede with Snowflake Soiree, CASE'd from Mary Fish.
 
The fifth Christmas card design was the No Peeking card here.
 
Have a wonderful weekend! I'll see you back here Monday morning with my last Merry Monday challenge as the Featured Designer for September. I hope you'll join in the fun!

Snowflake Soiree for Merry Monday Challenge #32


I think blues and browns look wonderful together - especially for a snowflake card! This card uses Early Espresso and Bashful Blue inks, along with the Snowflake Soiree stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.

 
I used less than a page from the Festive Prints pad and a 2" x 4-1/4" strip of Early Espresso Core'dinations Card Stock, sanded after it was run through the Lacy Brocade embossing folder in the Big Shot. Of course the sentiment is on a Label Framelit. How did we live without Framelits?
 
 
I used my Illuminate pad for the first time. Can you see the snowflakes stamped on the ends of these banners? You can see it better in real life. To add to the sparkle, I added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter with a 2-way glue pen.

I'm slowly filling up a box with Christmas cards. How are yours coming along? I hope you'll add a card or two to this Merry Monday challenge. These simple sketches make a great jumping off point to your creativity. I promise I'll swing by your place and leave a nice comment! Have a terrific week.
