But tonight I put the procrastinator in me to bed and got down to some Christmas card business. Stage one, "Baking & Decorating", has been completed. Stage two, "Now I'm Craving Gingerbread Cookies" is scheduled for tomorrow. (I'm giggling so hard right now!)
Last week one of the carts I got in the mail was Gingerbread. It is adorable! As soon as I saw the images I knew I wanted to do gingerbread men cards. So far they're coming along great!
Check out "Baking & Decorating" in action!

| Using my trusty Gypsy I was able to squeeze 20 of these guys (3") on a single sheet. What did I ever do without the G? |
 |
| Each one is outlined in liquid pearls. At first I was a little mad at myself that the lines weren't even & perfect. Then I realized that baking real gingerbread men is never perfect! Now the more I see the "imperfections" the more I love them :) I think they look like they were "iced" with love. |
 |
| Now everyone has eyelets (gold, green, white, red & blue). I seriously think I may have a repetitive stress injury from so much Crop-A-Dile use! |
 |
| After the eyelet treatment I figured everyone needed a face. Still can't believe I forgot that the first time I had the liquid pearls out! (Facepalm!) |
 |
| These are the background papers my cute gingerbread men are going to sit on. They're cut slightly smaller than a standard card size to show a little white border. |
