Christmas Card for my Mom
We got a new Tree Stamp so I had to try it out.
Yep still usin the old xacto knife! The really hard part was making those itty bitty little lights around the tree. Still trying to figure if they need a grounded plug or not. Star's embossed, mice are flocked, blingy stuff for ornaments. How very stamper is that.

Oh, how cute. Your mom will love it, I sure do. I like the mice playing on the strand of lights. Great staging, too. What an art to use an exacto knife and that takes patience that I don't have.

Oh wow what a brilliant card such a lot of hard work with that exacto knife well done Bill, I bet those pesky mice are searching for some candy canes to munch on! I'm sure your mom will love this card knowing that you spent time making it especially for HER, rather than picking one up off a shelf at a store.

Why look at what THE Buckle Man is up to! Trying to get off the naughty list, hmmmm? This is awesome and adorable, and I can't believe you use an exacto knife to cut out things! I love how you have the little mice flocked and stringing up the lights! But the best part of all is that you made your Mom a card! This is some very good behavior...I'm thinking either you are wishing for something big from Santa or ARE really nice....hmmmm, thinking....

You have made your mama proud and Pat too! Bubba, love this card and all the work you put into it. It must be so great to spend such quality time with one another making cards. If only my dh would make a card or two... He has an exacto knife, but says he would rather go to the dollar store and get two cards for a buck. He says he loves my cards, but he said he knows that I spend more than a dollar on each card and also the time that I put into them. Nicely done Bubba!
