Ever since I heard the song "December the 25th" from the 1970's movie Scrooge, I have always loved to see the number 25 on Christmas projects. It inspired the same excitement as my birth day which is 7. I think it was because I thought Jesus's birthday really was on that day. I later learned that no one really knows when it was for sure, but I pretend it is definitely on the 25th.
This week's inspiration at Stuck On U Sketches is to use numbers. I remembered that Cricut had a cartridge that had a number in it, and I need to be making my Christmas cards...lol,
I used the Teresa Collin's December 25th and Basic Cartridges. I have been wanting to try a background textured card and thought this would be a good chance to give it a shot. The trefoil background is from the Basics Cartridge. The other cuts are from the Dec. 25th cart. I discovered that incredible flourish which totally escaped me last year. I clipped an arm off of the snowflakes so they would not overlap the frame. I compensated for that by using snowflake brads I picked up at my local scrapbook store last year, but never used. I found them the other day, and was thrilled. I used Core Coordination cardstock and a little bling.
You know, the Cricut was a good investment for me. I spend very little money to make my creations and though they may not look like showroom gaga projects but, I think they are ok for my purposes. I have found that limited budgeting has inspired more creativity in me.
