I love crafting, especially rubber stamping. Most weekends I can be found surrounded by paper, rubber stamps and ink.

CHRISTMAS

 Happy Monday Peeps,

I'm still visiting my mom and sister in Northern California, mostly just hanging out with mom. We play cards and Yahtzee in the evenings after dinner, and I've been getting some crafty time in. I've made another crochet beanie hat and I've also done some sewing. Of course, a little stamping.

Today's card works for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge and the new Paper Players challenge. It's Clean and Simple week at the Paper Players and Jaydee's theme is Christmas.

I pulled out a fun and punny GKD set from my sister's stamps to use for my card.





Mom and I were reminiscing yesterday morning about how my grandmother (father's mother) would make homemade popcorn balls with red and green food coloring, wrap them in plastic wrap with curling ribbon, and put in our stockings, so when i was looking through the stamps yesterday and saw this sentiment, I just had to use it.

The inside of the card is super simple with just a greeting.



I wish everyone a good week. It will be rainy here starting Wednesday then for the rest of the week. Mom has an endoscopy scheduled for Friday, then she and I will drive back to my house on the weekend.
