Good Morning & Happy Hump Day Stamping Friends!

I am busy plugging away at my swaps for convention & today I'm sharing another Christmas one with you.  I can't begin to tell you how difficult it is to create a Xmas card without any designer paper to play with but I think I did an OK job here.  It was also very hard to photograph this card & I can NEVER seem to capture the shimmer either....it has a LOT of shimmer on it!!!  On a bright note, I'm very happy that I found the Merry Monday blog because their layouts are making my life/swaps extremely easy so thank you ladies!!!!!!

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Card Mania
Cards in Envy~dry embossed backgrounds
Eureka Stamps
Get Inky! 
LEJ Designs

Thanks so much for stopping by & make sure to come back on Friday for my very first post as a Design Team member for Simply Create Too!  Have a great rest of the day!!!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

  8. I think you created a beautiful, clean Christmas card without the use of DPs. Maybe something we all should try a bit more often?
