Sleigh Bells Ring...

OK I have to admit something to you... two years ago when I was visiting family, I was at a house with no internet, so I was reading my email on my phone late at night after the kids went to bed.  My husband didn't fly up with us, so I was crusing by myself.  This was just before the first release of Sister Stamps, so I had been talking to my sister about image ideas.  She must've been inspired, cause all of a sudden she started sending me a bunch of images.  When I opened the email with the Sleigh image, I actually spoke out loud... "Oh My God!"  I was so excited to talk to someone, but everyone had gone to bed!  After I picked my jaw off the floor, I called my husband, but he couldn't share my joy cause he couldn't see the image.  And now I can finally share it with you!

I have to say that this is one of my FAVORITE images.  Hope you all like it too!



Decided to make more journaling cards to be used in my scrapbooks.  Can't wait to start using them.. just need to print up my photos!  I found this starry paper the other day (sorry I can't find the company name), and thought it was the perfect background for a sleigh ride.  I just love how the crane replaces the reindeer.  I can't help but wonder if that's how Santa's sleigh is pulled in Japan?  After coloring up the sleigh image, I fussy cut it out and mounted it on the starry background.  Mounted it onto silver mirrored cardstock and finished it off with an Island Scrapbooking sentiment.

I hope you enjoy this image as much as I do!  If you would like a chance to win this stamp- just follow the details below and leave a comment on THIS POST by 08/31/13 11:59pm HST.  Good Luck!

    This is another fun stamp. Your sister's idea to have a crane pull the sleigh is so clever. I think if a crane were really pulling the sleigh gifts would get delivered much faster since they can really fly and reindeer can't. :) What you do you think?

    OMG I love this! In my brain it makes much more sense that a crane pull the sleigh instead of reindeer because seriously, how can reindeer fly anyway? Even if they are magic.
