T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Hey there everybody!
Hope all is well! Today's card was alot of fun to make because I heat embossed a portion of the card and I soooo love to heat emboss. I love to watch the powder melt and transform the image. It's like "magic"...LOL!

This card, i used traditional green and red colors when back to the basics. I hope you like it and give it a try!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Hello everybody-
I hope you all are doing well! I know that I am still amazed that in 2 weeks, it will be Thanksgiving and 3 weeks from that time, Christmas will be here. Does anyone else feel like " where did the time go?" I have been going into the stores and all the Christmas stuff is out. Decorations, Christmas sales, and those cinnamon smelling pine cones. It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...and all of it has gotten me in the spirit of making my holiday cards. I thought that I would share some of them with you this week.

Here is my card and I used colors that may not necessarily be associated with Christmas time. I hope you like it and be inspired to start making your holiday cards.

Thanks for stopping by!
