and stuck it down.

A quick greeting and it was done before the daughters and grandchildren got here.

for a quick swing.

Beautiful snippet card, Bonnie. Lovely design and the robin and holly image was well worth saving from the calendar :) Elizabeth xx

So pretty Bonnie. LOVE that image ... I have it and had forgotten all about it. Need to pull it out. :) Great colouring ... the black really intensifies the other colours. Thanks for sharing with the HLS Christmas challenge. I'm going to add this to the HLS CAS - Colouring challenge as well. xx

This is one of my favorite SU images - no surprise, huh? Love that you've stamped on the fishtail tag with the score lines. Very effective designing. So pretty with the scant black mat & the larger wood embossed one. The candy cane baker's twine bow added such a delightful embellishment, along with the sparkle of the sequins. TFS & joining in with the HLS September Holly Challenge. Hugs

Lovely card, Bonnie. The image looks great on the fishtail banner and really stands out against the CAS background! xx

Nice card Bonnie. I see you have more than one stamp with holly, I have none. But having read your blog decided to give Cuttlebug Mania a try. As usual love the embossing.
