Have Yourself a Merry Little--EEK!

For my Print Candee post, please see here.

I wasn't going to blog again today, but I just saw on the Paper Crafts blog that I was an Honorable Mention for Stamping Royalty! A friend e-mailed me the news, and I couldn't believe it, but there it was. I think I nearly passed out from excitement!

Since the card was on the PC blog, I guess I can share it with you here. It's a good thing I snapped a couple of quick (and not so hot) pictures of the card before I sent it off!


 Everything on the card, including the chevron background, is stamped. It is definitely the type of holiday card I would send out--bold, graphic, colorful. Here's a close-up of the sentiment to see the heavy embossing on the "merry":



The funny part is, I was getting a second version of this card ready this morning to resubmit to the Holiday Cards and More call. I guess that's out now.

Congrats to the other Stamping Royalty honorable mentions! I was super thrilled to see my good friend Emily's card and my former DT-mate Chunyan's cards! I can't believe I'm on the same page with such good stampers.

One winner is selected from the Stamping Royalty Honorable Mentions. If you like my card, you can vote for it by going here and voting. Thank you! I'm so excited if I win or not. :)

Thanks for looking!

I can't believe your card was stamped. That is truly worthy of the "royalty" tag.
