(Before I get started, be sure to check back later tonight after my first weigh in!)
Edited: At the end of week one, I am only down .4 lbs. They assured me that at this point I am bloated with water weight, etc., and am beginning to work my muscles, etc., and that it WILL come off. It better! lol...thanks for your support!

Yep, you heard me right.
I can't believe it, but I've made a 3rd Christmas card -
and it's only July!!!
I've had this NOEL stamp (Great Impressions) since I began stamping. I actually think it was my first store purchase. When the ABC Christmas Challenge had a NOEL challenge, for the letter N, I jumped at the chance to ink this baby up! I used Judikins Egyptian Gold Embossing Powder, and colored the letters and holly leaves with Tombow Markers. Easy Peasy! Thanks for looking!
Next, I want to show you what I did for some family friends who just purchased a home.
I made the 'house', but I wanted to use the card as a Congrats for new home AND a thank you. So...I made the roof come off the house. That's where the congrats note is written. TAC's Happy Thoughts set is on the bottom of the 'tag'.
The photo above is the complete card.
The photo above shows that the red card is A-2 size, and opens normally for a thanks note to be written.
The photo above shows the roof being raised for the congrats tag.
This photo shows that the tag is actually folded, so that the writing is on the inside.
I hope the kids like this card. I thought it turned out cute.
Well, happy Thursday, one and all. I need to go take care of a few chores before heading into town to weigh in.
Thanks for stopping by, and I will leave you with a little food for thought:
Why are the buttons on a man's shirt different from the buttons on a woman's shirt?
Smiles!

Your Noel card is so rich and beautiful. The little house is really clever and cute; so well done.
Wow - look at you go with your early-bird Christmas cards. I always find it difficult to put myself in a Christmas creating mood when it's nearly 100 outside.
I love your little housewarming card...it's a true papercrafting work of art!
Wow Patti, your little house is fabulous, I love how it all fits together!
And the Christmas one is very classy, great colours.
Good luck with the weigh-in (...though I think the weight you've lost, I've found!)
