So now I can officially say...I have made my first Christmas card...yahoo! It is a start! 
I then took a piece of cardstock and ran it thru the snowflake die and then cut along the edge to form a little snowdrift! The inside image is coloured with distress inks and then I added LOTS of glitter!!! My little trees are stamps released from Papertrey last year called, Made of Snow. Another favourite set! I stamped them on Christmas paper and then cut them out, glued them to the snowdrifts!

I have ordered a few and I am happy to say...it will not be my last order! Especially when I keep seeing the gorgeous work others are doing with the images! Have a wonderful evening and thank-you so much for popping in for a visit!
