At Home With You

How very fitting that the stamp set I'm featuring today is called At Home With You. Because Saturday morning we were given the "all{mostly}clear" to go home!! We are still actually on pre-evacuation status because there's no way of knowing what the fires will do, but! We are home! We are only a 6 minute drive to the school instead of 45-minutes-in-good-traffic.... We are in our own beds with our own toys and books because that is a very important thing to small children. And we're not limited to the clothes that got packed, haha....
And here's an updated view from my back door, taken about an hour ago. You can see there is still some smoldering areas, and maybe you can see the smoke behind that mountain...the fire moved to the back side of these mountains. And still, after all these days, only a shed has been lost. Which is absolutely amazing.

Anyway, last week I did these two Christmas cards for my mom's stash too. I wanted to show off the versatility but still keep them both Christmas. My mom needs a ton of Christmas cards. So, I kept one very simple...
Supplies:
Stamps: At Home With You
Ink: Black Stazon, Real Red, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow
Paper: Real Red & Whisper White card stocks
Accessories: Blender Pens, At Home Framelits, Big Shot,

...and this one is much more detailed.

Between us, we got 9 Christmas cards done for her stash last week. Considering we only stamped one afternoon, that's pretty good.
I'm hoping to stamp more this week, but we thought we'd still be evacuated for another week and I gotta say, it was kind of weird just going back to normal this morning, haha....
