Hello everyone. I want first to say thank you to all who left me comments on my last post, HERE. Many of your comments made me cry. It has been such an emotional year for my family. I know that the prayers said on behalf of my daughter and our family have helped get us this far. Thank you SO much!
Now, onto a quick and easy Christmas card.
The tree is from Stampin' Up!'s Wishing You Cheer, and the sentiment is from Mark's Finest Papers Time To Chill. I drew a line around the card as a border to match the whimsical lines of the tree image.

Super cute CAS Christmas card! I love drawing my own borders like that - so much fun. Great design - good luck on the challenges!!!
Colleen--this is a fabulous one layer CAS Christmas card!!! Just love it! Thanks for playing along with us this week at Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge!!! I hope all is well with you & your family. You know that I'm here if you ever need to talk!
This is terrific Colleen.
I just read your post about your daughter; how wonderful it must feel to know that she has recovered and how proud you must feel of her and her tremendous attitude.
How blessed!
Thanks so much for joining in our attempt at 1000 entries for our challenge this week, we'd love to see you again next time.

Hi Colleen
FABULOUS XMAS CARD....

Love the card. What a perfect CAS Christmas card and your coloring is perfect. Thanks for playing along with us here at Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge this week. Hope to see you again next week.
This is my kind of card--so simple yet so perfect!
I love this card - so cute! I really like the sort of crooked line around it. I have tried doing that box thing and I would slip up towards the end or wobble a bit. So, this is totally perfect for me! Of course I might have to add some brads as ornaments to the tree. We have a new computer and I am way behind on my Emails. Chat later. Fun card!

This is adorable! Love it's perfect simplicity!
Oh, Colleen, this is GENIUS!! An absolutely perfect use of white space. I love your whimsical hand-drawn line. I've often wondered if I could pull off something like that. I see that you mastered it with no problem!! So sweet, and you added three to your Christmas card collection. Go, go, Colleen!!!
Darling card, Colleen. Love this CAS little card :)
Colleen this has to be one of the cutest CAS holiday cards I've seen!! Awesome card. I was so happy to read your last post about your daughter. Wow even I feel proud of her - you must be beaming! I am so happy for all of you!! Hugs, Harriet
Hi Colleen
I'm playing catchup in blogland as I've been away sunning myself (lucky me)! Your recent makes are gorgeous (as always).
Just finished reading your earlier post about your daughter - gosh what a year you have had - I'm so pleased that you are coming out the other side and the remarkable steps forward that your daughter has made - I mean doing a presentation to your peers at that age - no wonder you are so PROUD - I feel proud of her too!!! So my dear friend sending you and your family big hugs from me.
Catch up with you very soon.

How cute Colleen. I need to come to your blog for inspiration to do that challenge....lol It was so hard for me-but you make it look so easy. This is just darling. I love it!

Hope you can play again with us in the next challenge.
