Magic of Christmas

Hello everyone!!!!  

or should I say Merry Christmas!!!  lol - Actually I am trying to keep up with my Christmas cards this year so i have time in November and December to do more presents :)

Here is one card I made last night...

Made with Stamping Bella and believe it or not the sentiment is a sticker!!!!!

I love how it all came together - I also used the foliage die cut from your next stamp and all the paper I found in my stash I believe that it is Lily bean designs.  On the die cuts I used green  and fire fly stickles to have it pop away from the background.  The card looks so much prettier in person and the colours are a bit off.  the pic was taken with my iPad and I am still trying to figure out the best program.  if you have a good one please let me know :)

As you all know... I love the challenges

Here are the ones I received inspiration from:

jingle belles - sticky sweet

all that stickles - green
