Thanksgiving is a day away but my mind is already focusing in on Christmas. Last night my DD and I drove home listening to the Christmas music channel. Since we were stuck in Northern Virginia traffic on Route 66 for quite some time we heard quite a few songs! It was fun to sing a long with her. Then she sang for me a song she is working on in Chorus and I was completely overjoyed with it! Her voice was so strong and steady and so beautiful! We made a date to fix homemade hot chocolate, get in the car and drive around to view Christmas lights while listening to seasonal music Friday night. I know it may seem goofy/odd to some but she loves music, my hot chocolate, and looking at Christmas lights. We have a neighborhood that uses over 15,000 lights. I can't imagine the electric bill but I sure do appreciate it! I was thinking we should offer these people something for sharing their love for the holidays. Not sure what to give besides cash? Any ideas?
My card is Christmas oriented of course!
Black Leaf Studios is sponsoring
Crafty Creations this week and provided the design team with a fabulous traditional Christmas set found

I used some Sass Lass pattern paper, a lace die cut from KI Memories, bling (chunky glitter and rhinestones), a date stamp, and a rub-on. Here's a close up of the bling and snow on the Christmas tree.

Amy this is gorgeous. Blue is my favorite color and if you combine it with green it's a classic and perfect combo for a Christmas card. I love it. The tree is beautiful and the star with the rhinestone on top of it is perfect.
A fabulous card card; as always :)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,
Stella
