Merry Christmas

Sunday, October 18, 2009

I haven't been able to play in Sparkle's weekly Christmas card challenge for the past couple of weeks and it's made me sad so I made time yesterday to make a card for this week's challenge. It also qualifies for the challenge at PaperPlay this week which is to use your favorite embellishment.

I am totally loving my card and it is probably in my favorite top 5 of about the 45 Christmas cards I've made this year. Again, my simplistic nature has shown through but it's the colors and the gorgeous paper that I'm in love with.

***Supplies***
Patterned paper: Unknown
Stamps: CTMH So Sweet Seasons
Other: Tag punch, PTI buttons, CTMH ribbon and waxy flax

I'd also like to thank everyone who commented on Friday's post about Arianne's birthday. Your thoughts mean a lot to me and I truly appreciate the love and support I felt.

Well, I hope you have a fabulous Sunday. Mine will be filled with church, football, and studying. Until next time, take good care.

Oh that's a lovely card, Alanna. I'm nearly sure I have that paper here somewhere - is it Cosmo Cricket Oh Joy??? Or not!!! It's just perfect, whatever it is!!

Thanks for joining us on PaperPlay this week.
