I have managed to combine the CC198 today with the Holiday Challenge Extravaganza 04. Check it out on the home page, the HCE is the TOP STORY. Extra challenges every day till January 3. I know none of you are like me and totally wait until the ninth hour to get started . I have no presents wrapped, no special holiday foods made, no, I'll wait until tomorrow, throw the Christmas CD's in the player and spend the day in a frantic, artistic frenzy! So in honor of all this, I've created my card, NOTE 2 SELF...
I used Stamp Francisco's delightful woman on a crying jag (my description) stamped twice on Cameo Coral with black VersaColor and embossed and in the Orchid Opulance with Nick Bantock's damson plum. Both are cut and placed on the card. My card base is So Saffron folded into a kickstand. I cut the top bottom edge with SU scalloped punch and then punched a Cameo Coral border with EK Success corner rounder. My third punch for the HCE04 is the Martha tag on which I wrote the note 2 MYSELF!. My wallpaper background is from Basic Grey's Urban Prairie. I cuttled the top of the card with the arygle ef and added a sheer black ribbon for the finish. At the bottom of the card is the whole crux...START SOONER!
Now I don't know about you, but after living this long, this old bird's just gonna keep on waiting till the last minute, I mean at my house, I'm the queen and I said so!!!! Thanks for your wonderful comments, ALWAYS...now if I'm slow to respond, you'll know I've got my hands dirty with cooking stuff!!!
Merry Christmas

Rock on Susan, I know you work best under pressure and will rise to the occasion tomorrow! Your card is wonderful, and I thought the woman had collapse in an exhaustive heap after preparing for the holidays, not on a crying jag! LOL!
