Good morning everyone....hope you are having a great Saturday!!! We made the mistake of going to the grocery store yesterday morning...I think everyone in town was there!!! I hate to wait in line and tend to get a little cranky but we made it home ok and I quieted my nerves in the craft room...LOL!! We have been trying to eat healthier so we spend a lot of time reading labels.....it is sooo amazing how much sodium and fats there are in foods like soup and other prepared canned or boxed foods.....yikes!! No wonder Americans have such problems with hypertension and heart disease....anyway.....I made another Christmas card...this one is pretty simple and fast to make!! The background was an Inkadinkado stamp that was stamped on the vanilla cardstock with Tempting Turquoise. The sentiment border from Gina K's Vintage Borders by Nina Brackett was stamped by inking up the stamp with Tempting Turquoise, Lavender Lace, Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, and Summer sun. The diecut snowflake, button, and Baker's Twine finish it off.
This is also for a few challenge:
1. Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge - Christmas
2. Card Crazy Challenge - Christmas
3. For Fun Challenges - Christmas
4. Clear it out Tuesday - CAS
Thanks for visiting.....have a wonderful holiday weekend!!!

Another beautiful card. I love the sentiment you used. Another Christmas card for your stash.
Girl, I do not want to be thinking of "Winter" :). I already feel that Spring shot by me and Summer might do the same..
None the less, this card is stunning. Beautiful colors.
Have a happy 4th
Lovely card Joan, wonderful variation of ink.
I like the non-traditional Christmas colors, Joan!!!
Wowzers! You're making Christmas cards in July...very inspiring Joan & this one is gorgeous! Love the layout & colors...excellent work as always my friend & TFS!!!!
Another lovely design, Joan, and i love your sentiment border and how you've used the different coloured inks on it, that looks so nice.
We have to read the labels carefully here too, they put sugar in all sorts of unlikely foods so you have to keep a sharp eye out. CoB
