Holidays ...



Aren't Holiday's a wonderful time of the year?  Any Holiday is fine with me.  It's a reason to gather with friends and family...to celebrate a special occasion ... to talk, laugh, and enjoy each other.  I look forward to the upcoming Holiday season!

I have another Christmas card to share with you.  Strips of Designer Series Papers (Love Letters and Deck the Halls) cover the front of the card.  I am lovin' this look!  The wreath from our Northern Hearts Hostess Set is stamped in Always Artichoke.  Little pearls from our Basic Pearls add dimension.

My seam binding has been dyed with Riding Hood Red ink.  The button is a stray that found it's way into my button drawer.  ("Can I keep it, Mom?")  I used Linen Thread and a Merry old greeting stamped in Riding Hood Red ink (our Jewelry Tag Punch made it easy).  Once again, the Distressing Essentials kit helped soften the edges.

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you visit again soon!  You can see more inspiration at these sites ...
