Christmas Wreath

Brrrr.....it is cold and snowing outside. Very beautiful! My family, as well as many others in my area, are still without power from last weeks ice storm. We are praying that our pipes hold out and DO NOT freeze. This is day SIX without power. All is well, but I didn't count on losing a full week just before Christmas. Much to do! Much to do! And, it is hard to stamp and scrapbook in the dark. :-(



At any rate, here is another Stamp-A-Stack creation. I love using non-traditional stamp sets for Christmas card creations. This card uses the Heartfelt Thanks stamp set! LOVE IT! Totally not my idea. But, I saw the idea on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ by searching Christmas Wreath. Check it out. You will be blown away at all the variations and ideas.

Thanksgiving Thanks

The holidays are upon us, and it is the time of year that my family likes to celebrate. We are travelling this year to visit my husband's extended family, so we are unable to be with my family for the Thanksgiving holiday. So, I made this card for my mom to let her know that I am thinking of her and miss being with her. I hope she likes it.

I then changed it up a little bit and turned it into a "Thank You" card. I want to give this to my husband's aunt and uncle for hosting us over the holiday.
