Christmas in August...

Our family is off to the beach this morning!  A 14-hour drive with 3 kids in the back of a Honda Accord.  We have DVDs, we have snacks, and we have the hope that we'll arrive in VA beach with our sanity intact - ha!  As we leave for a waterfront week, enjoy this Christmas-y creation!  I'm entering it into a challenge over at SimonSaysStamp and also counting it as entry #2 for the lawnscaping challenge.

I used lawn fawn's "cozy christmas" to make this almost-monochromatic card.  I stamped the fireplace surround onto kraft cardstock and did some copic-marker highlighting...  

I then stamped the stockings onto chocolate chip cardstock (SU) and detailed them with my kids' names... you know, Pottery-Barn-style.  (My sister is obsessed with all things monogrammed and personalized... especially PB stuff!)

Here's the entire card, in all of its Christmas glory!  I used a martha stewart punch to create my green garland, and distressed the leaves with some brown ink.  The white mat was stamped with my vintage wallpaper stamp (marketstreet stamps) - doesn't it look like fabric wallpaper?  I also distressed all of the edges.  The sentiment is SU.

Thanks for looking!
