Hello everyone!! I am so excited because I have finished my Christmas decorating, shopping and wrapping...Woot!!!! Now I can concentrate on baking a few things and then I will be ready for our big family Christmas Eve celebration!!! Nineteen ( two of my grands will be at their other grandmas :( ) of us will gather at our home this year..... they all have presents under the tree and goodies in their stockings!! I hope all of you have plans for the holidays, too!!! Anyway....
I wanted to share some of the Christmas cards I made for our church craft sale...it's always such a challenge for me to create cards that will mail easily since I love to pile on the embellies!!
This card set features a Gina K. Christmas set called City of David. It was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and matted with black and pool party card stock....retired SU patterned paper was used for the background and the silver pearl and ribbon finish it off.
An old PSX stamp was used for this set and the sentiment is from a Waltzing Mouse set called Compliments of the Season.
Versafine Onyx Black was used for both the image and the sentiment, SU flocked paper was used for the background and the ribbon is the only embellishment.
The last set feature the poinsettia stamp from the Waltzing Mouse set called Poinsettia Bloom...it was stamped with real red and silver pearls were used for the center.
The Taylored Expressions Lace Chain Border die was used for the scallop, the sentiment is from the Flourishes Christmas Classics set, and the dark gray ribbon is the finishing touch.
Here is a look at some of the things we have been doing the last couple of weeks.....
My Dad's 91st birthday party.....aren't my parents cute!!!!
Cody's church program....
Practice for Cody's violin concert....
Shopping for and wrapping over 100 presents....yikes!!! Since I took this picture a few more presents have found their way under the tree....Santa sure is a busy little bee!!!!
And here is my sweet little Pumpkin!!!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a fabulous Holiday!!!!!

Thank you for stopping by my blog and your lovely comments. Sorry I've been a bad blogger recently. I am hoping things will improve in the new year and I can get back into creating.

Great photos of all....and very cute parents too Joan! Pumpkin is so adorable and so are the grands! I was so excited when I saw the one at his violin concert. My little 7 year old granddaughter had her violin concert last week. It's a great instrument.
