There's No Place Like Home--Merry Monday #125 and Try Stampin' on Tuesday

September 14, 2014

I loved the theme at the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge.  Transportation was theme this week, and it called out to me.  If I get to go home for Christmas, it is always by plane.  I went through ALL my stamps (believe me it is hundreds) and there was not one means of transpiration in my stash.  So, I went with a die for my jet to take me "Back Home Again In Indiana"!

The sketch at Try Stampin' On Tuesday Challenge was perfect for my card.  I just received the Santa & Co. Designer Series Paper in my box this week and was so excited to use it!




                                       I'm leavin' on a jet plane







Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  I love to hear from you!

I used stamps from my stash and the cloud embossing folder is from Stampin' Up!, but it is retired now.

    1. Thank you, LeAnne! I have spent many years on a plane to IN. Don't go now that my Daddy is gone. I always bring my Mom here for the holidays! XX

  4. Love your take on the challenge Claire - I loved the DT cards this week, went to make my card and did exactly the same as you - discovered I have only a bicycle and a plane in my stash - no cars! I went with a sleigh, but I love your airplane - there's something quite special about flying home for Christmas!

  6. HI Claire, your card really caught my eye. I love how you incorporated the theme of "transportation" from Merry Monday with our sketch this week. You are so right, we all travel for the holidays and this plane idea is just brilliant! Thanks for joining us this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesdays.
