Enjoy the Warmth of the Season

Over the river and through the woods……..
That’s the first thought I have when I see this card.  The colors are Christmas but the houses and rolling hill is just waiting for a sleigh ride.

Snowflake Sentiment with Christmas Around the World

I’m not really ready for snow but I do love the first snowfall.  The sparkle and glitter of fresh new snowflakes is so beautiful.  This card reminds me of that feeling.  I used Snowflake Sentiments stamp set and Christmas Around the World designer paper.  I like the Basic Gray and Pool Party/Soft Sky color combination.  Just add a little Wink of Stella to a few snowflakes and you’ll get the pretty little sparkle I love.

Peace, Love and Joy for the Holidays

Today I wanted to share one of my favorite fun folds.  I love this gate door fold, it’s one of my favorites.  I used a stamp set from the Holiday Catalog that doesn’t get noticed as much.  Take a look at page 8 — Every Good Wish.  It has two watercolor style phrase images and great inside greetings too, add a few splotches and holly leaves are you have a quick, easy to assemble card.  I used one of my favorite designer papers, Christmas Around the World.
