Merry Christmas to You and Yours!!!!!

Hello everyone: As always, I hope and pray you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe. 

So here we are at the last challenge of the year for     RETRO RUBBER, and of course, the theme is Christmas, so we hope you find a bit of time to come and play along.

We know this month is a busy one, with all the preparations, shopping, cooking, tending to visits from relatives, etc., but, we can all use one more Christmas card for our stash, right? so, I hope you come and play along.  Here's my card, I hope it inspires you to come and join us in our gallery.

And this is what I used.

Flourishes "Christmas Candles" (2011) for the inside sentiment.

I hope you can come and play along with us for the last challenge of the year 2021, please don't forget to use stamps that are older than a year, these stamps are still beautiful, as you can see, I used very, very old sets.

I want to wish all of you a Beautiful Christmas, with dear family and friends, and a happy and healthy 2022.

Elegant Pine Cone.....

Hello everyone: I've been fighting a cold for a few days, I'm better now but it was awful, ughhh!! I tried to ignore it and kept going to work out but I finally decided to just stay home and rest.

So, I have here a Christmas card made with a really pretty image from Stampendous called Pine Cone Decoration.

The image is stamped on a 4.25x5.5 folded piece of Ninah Desert Storm card stock with Stazon black ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called Glistening Paperwhites.

*****************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The sentiment and the pine branch on the corner are from the Paperwhites set, the pine border from "Merry Littles".

I want to play along with the following challenges.

"Less is More"

Tuesday Throwdown
Challenge #443 One Layer Wonder.


Thank you for stopping by, your comments always make my day.
