December is always a busy month, and even more so around here with our house being on the market, lots of travel and some various freelance work landing all about the same time. I need to do a life update blog post soon - lots to update everyone on.

December card club happened a little early this month due to a busy month and all of the fun holiday happenings. Since Chris is out of town I needed to bring the boys with me again (same thing for November club). Instead of the kids being underfoot Geoff was able to watch the boys this time and the boys got the get in some cousin time. Win/win for me. Thanks Geoff!

We created a couple of shaker cards this month. This is the first of two shaker cards. This card features the Festival of Trees stamp set. There are two slightly different versions of this card. I'm not sure which I like best. On one shaker card I tried to heat emboss on the clear window sheet with silver embossing powder which was a little tricky so I decided to alter the card for club (static!). The altered version skips the heat embossing and uses Lost Lagoon as an accent color.
