While on my last trip I found that I needed to change my mind set and forget about all the goodies i could have used on my project and focus on what i did have.  Hmmm, I am sure there is a lesson in there somewhere.  Anyway, while I was making this card I yearned for some Dazzling Diamonds glitter and could not believe i did not pack any.    I know, I know what was I thinking?  So, this card though it could use some glittery goodness is for my non glitter loving friends ( you know who you are so i won't mention names!)

Stamps: Gifts of Christmas
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Always Artichoke, Deck the Halls dsp
Big Shot:  Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Scallop Square duo
DooDahs:  Cherry Cobbler seam binding and Basic Rhinestones (you know I would have some kind of bling!)

I cheated a little when I packed.  I chose one embossing folder and embossed each color of cardstock I brought on the road.  I also cut out some scallop squares from the Scallop Square duo Bigz die.  In this sample I pieced two of the scallop squares together to make a rectangle scallop to frame my main image.  Tricky huh?  I did not bring any punches with me due to the weight and also because i could not decide on which ones to take.   This is a quick card to make and I  hope you like it!
