Happy Friday! Is it Friday already!? That was too fast! I don't want it to be Saturday yet. I was so sick and miserable for Thanksgiving, but I feel a little better now. I was the last to be blessed by this nasty cold; Travis has been fighting this for about 8 days now. I just hope it doesn't take me that long to recover too. The babies missed school the entire week because of it. Sniffles and boogers everywhere!!! lol But what a way to spend a few days off. I hate when I get sick on "Vacation" days, Don't you!?

Here's a card using
Treehouse Stamps. The set is called
Christmas Favorites. I think this tree is just beautiful, especially with the alternating gold and copper embossing powders. To get the same effect is quite simple. Just a little prep work in the beginning is all it takes. First, I get out the embossing powders that I want to use, in this case, Gold and Copper. I open the bottles and place them on a scrap piece of copy paper. I stamp the image with VersaMark. Now, taking the lighter color embossing powder first, I sprinkle the powder on diagonally across the image. I tap off the excess onto the copy paper. Then I move to the darker color embossing powder and fill in the spaces and gently tap off the excess. Heat, and there you have an alternating embossed tree!
