Happy Holidays!
Where the heck have I been you ask? This is my busy crafting season and that does not include much stamping unfortunately. I am getting ready to bake cookies and start my annual wood craft or sewing project (see post here for 2008 projects)(past wood projects here and sewing projects here) and also finishing a quilt for my grandson Cole ( a Christmas project I started last year..hmmmm.)
And then I have to get all my Christmas trees decorated. Now, I don't even come close to Suzanne Dean...she puts up 10 I think! Crazy girl...I only have 4...
This is my card for this week's 3 Clover's Thursday Challenge. Kerry asked us to make a Christmas card without the standard Christmas colors of red or green. I chose to use this cute Peanuts stamp and used basic blue and brown.
Doesn't Charlie Brown and Linus look like they are wearing little Carhartt coats? (that's a brand of brown work clothes for those that aren't familiar with the name). I glittered the snow to add lots of sparkle. I used a fun sketch for this card...but darned if I can find where it is now...brain cramp! I also used my new little bow maker. It is not a Bow Easy, but a different brand, but it looks exactly like a Bow Easy and only cost $2 in a closeout sale...what a deal! I used Sharon Johnson's Bow Easy tutorial here to figure it out! I am always challenged when it comes to pretty bows, so I used this new little toy and boy am I pleased!

I hope you all can join us this week and make a Christmas/Holiday card without the usual colors of red and green. The DT samples are quite fun this week, so go take a peek and be inspired!

SOOOOOO CUTE! I just love Charlie Brown and Linus.
Just 4 trees!!? I only do two now that our boys are grown and that's quite enough. I checked out your wood creations...love, love, love that stocking. Did you make up your own pattern? Like I said...the house next door is for sale...warm weather year round. ;-)
Wow! I'm tired just from reading all you have to do for the holidays! Good luck!
Your card is adorable, I just love that cute image! The snow really adds the perfect touch!
So cute, love the glitter snow!
That is adorable! I just love the Charlie Brown Christmas movie! Takes me back to being a kiddo!
Great card Sue! Such a cute image and great colours.
Wow you have so many plans for the holidays! I have looked at your wood creations and they are fabulous!
And yes I did cut my hair (about 30 cm/ 12 inch) I am going to donate it to an organisation that makes wigs for children with cancer. :) I was glad they cut it off! :)
Hugs,

Sue, Whenever I see the Peanut gang now, I think of you! This card is SO dang adorable and fun! Love all the sparkle. I hope that you share your cookies and wood projects again with us. I loved seeing them last year!
Terrific creation...grooving on the sparklies! Seriously Sue, your cards are just getting better every day!
What a FUN card! - Charlie Brown and Linus look awesome in those jackets (yes, I do know the Carhartt brand)and I just love the snow they are playing in.
Ha! That is so dang cute! Love the Carhardt coats and your snow looks fantastic!
Good luck getting it all done!
Ah Sue this is so cute, I love it. I haven't seen this image before. Love the glittery snow and the Carhartt jackets.
You are going to be busy for the holidays... the wood creations are fabulous.
This is a "Sue Signature" for me. The first card I received from you (which I still have and cherish) was a Halloween card with Snoopy. Even though I credit you with my love of HM stamps, I always associate the Peanuts line with you as well. I love this card so much. It is a stunner and so well done. Great work! Best, Curt
Oh my gosh! What an adorable card.. love that image. Wonderful textures. And I LOVE that sketch.
Hi Sue! Love your card--your layout, your ribbon and how you embossed it. So Cute and Pretty!!!
Sue, I love snoopy and this card is so cute. Love the blue and yep, you're right about the jackets! Great bargain on the bow think.
Adorable!!
This card is a beauty. Love the glitters and blue colors.
Hugs

Oh what fun Sue, awesome job.
Sue, your card is perfect and so funny, love the cute image... Hugs and happy weekend...
What an adorable card. So many of my childhood Christmas memories are wrapped up in Charlie Brown. Even to this day, the Soundtrack to Charlie Brown Christmas is my favorite Christmas album! Thanks for such a wonderfully creative card.
Wow! What a fun and adorable card! I love, love the sparkles and embossed snowflakes!
You are very busy during this holiday season, Sue... but it's a good thing! :)
Cute! Reminds me of being a kid and looking forward to the Peanut's holiday specials!
Oh Wow - I never knew there was a Snoopy Stamp set! I have got to get me some of these next year when I've got more money as its all going on pressies at the moment! Love the colours and your layout is fab!
