Deck the Halls

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

How are you doing on getting ready for Christmas?

I don't know about you, but I have a long way to go!

One of my favorite things about the Christmas season is the music.  When I do 

Christmas classes we put on the music and I'll hear different ladies singing along.

If I forget the music, someone will remind me.  I don't think I'm alone in loving

the music of Christmas.

Peace on Earth

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

When Michele came, she brought lots of Betterpress Plates.

I did a lot of pressing!  Here's the results from one of the plates.

Actually it results from two of the plates.  The trees were pressed with a LDRS

press plate, die cut and popped up with foam tape.  I've used chunky embossing

powder, heated from underneath to make a snowy scene.

Of course I had to press another and it resulted in my favorite.

I pulled out my Nativity dies and this was in the envelope.  It was done long ago

and not used.  What a nice surprise and a perfect fit.

Challenges:

Word Power #9 - Make the sentiment the focus of the card

Sparkles #164 - Make the sentiment the focus
