...the stockings were hung...

I am so glad it's Saturday, yeh, I look so forward to the weekends! I am sure you all do as well!
This morning I got up really early to make my first Christmas card! I have 50 or so more to do! But at least it is a start! I pulled out my Elzybells stamp from last year that I never coloured yet, so I was so excited to get the prismas out and yes...the GLITTER! If I can put glitter on a card, let's just say look out! I find that my pictures just don't show well as to how much glitter I put on my cards! I stitched up my card as well and popped up the sentiment. A rather simple card, but I really like simplicity when making alot of cards!



I really hope that when you look out your window today you don't have any snow yet! This image is reserved only for Christmas morning! LOL!

let Christmas begin - well done for getting started. I love the image, reminds me when I was about 9yrs old and lived in the countryside, the snow came above our front door and we couldn't get out, I was so excited!

Adorable card! You've been busy while I was having fun with my daughter, lol! I love all your latest posts. I really need to try to do one of the "pedestal" cards. I really like that idea for my dad. He likes to set out the cards I send him. Keep up your super creations! Hugs & Aloha...

What a cute image. You're right about the glitter, it just doesn't show on the photos this size but if you click on to enlarge them you can see it. I have seen a lot of Christmas cards on your site so where have they all gone? Marianne x

What a fantastic card. If this wasn't so much coloring I'd say this is the Christmas card for you. But...... It could be the Christmas card for me, hint hint.
