I did NOT kick the dog...

This is it - at long last (you have been waiting on pins and needles for this, right?).... the reveal of my final "other" ornament punch idea.  I have shown you an acorn, a fish, Christmas lights, Middle Eastern architecture, a cookie jar and two ideas from other stampers - a vase and leaves.

I didn't think this idea was ever going to find its way to a card I liked.  I struggled and crumpled and grumbled and threw my tools around on my desk (I did NOT kick the dog).  Then I realized my issue was not with the idea but with the style.  I was attempting to do something serious and any regular reader knows I'm a lot better at silly.  As soon as I changed into "cute" mode the card was a snap. This card really wasn't worth waiting this long for, but I still think you will like it


Ready?





Ready?

Does that light your fire?  (groan)  Simple and Easy - perfect for a young kid's birthday!  (Kid as in child not as in goat - surely you don't send cards to livestock!)

And just to prove that I am a team player and not really a rebel, tomorrow you will find me using the ornament punch as (GASP!) an ornament!


At least that is the plan.
