Merry Christmas!!!

Good Morning All!!! Today is Christmas Eve!!! Woo hoo and..... I am not ready! LOL! Oh well, I hope to be shortly. Just need to do all the wrapping.... This is the last card I am creating for Christmas! My husband and I got a gift card for his parents, so I wanted to make a nice card to hold it in so it looked like we put some thought into it.

I incorporated the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge sketch. Their challenge this week was to create a Christmas card with the sketch.

Due to lack of time, I am going to just make this a short post with the card ingredients.

Card Ingredients:
stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs: Peace and Joy (snowflakes, outside sentiment) Worship the Lord (Inside sentiment), and I Wait for the Lord (Candle image on the front of the card which is embossed in silver).
Paper: SU Bella Bleu, Night of Navy, Vanilla
Accessories ZVA Creative pearl flourishes and single line pearls, Labels 4 die from Spellbinders, Floral Bed Border Punch from Martha Stewart, Iron Works Cuttlebug folder (Flourish on the front), Martha Stewart corner Snowflake (smaller snowflakes), Martha Stewart snowflake, Scalloped Circle Nestabilities, silver embossing powder, star charm

I will be away for Christmas and will not be posting until next week.

May the Peace and Joy of the Christmas Message be with you this Christmas and throughout the New Year. May you enjoy time with family and friends!! Merry Christmas!

Blessings,
Chris

Lil Daffodil said...: Hi Chris,
This is beautiful. So elegant and perfect for the occasion.
Do have a very Happy Christmas with friends and family. Isn't it comforting to know in your heart the reall reason for the event we celebrate. The coming of our Lord Jesus. My husband always reminds the family that "Christmas is really all about Easter". How blessed we are.
May the Lord bless you.
