Christmas is coming, and it's one of my favorite times of the year. My 15 YO's, too. We love everything about it: decorating the house, baking wonderful things, crisp winter air, Christmas Eve church service by candlelight, celebrating with loved ones, and so much more. My daughter told me that she would decorate our whole house by herself, that's how much she loves it. I just might hold her to that...
This card is full of things that make my heart happy: pretty embossing, vintage thread...
...damask paper, subtle touches of glitter, beautiful stars, a sheer bow tied off with a pearly button and sentiment from Hero Arts. Oh, and a pearl. I love m'pearls. You know I do!

In a word: GORGEOUS! No, I haven't sent out our cards yet--but we've decorated the house (tree went up last weekend) and today we did our Christmas baking: four different kinds of Christmas cookies. The kids counted: 244 cookies in all!
Just LOVE this lovely card!
Gorgeous card!

Very elegant card, beautiful!
A beautiful card, Colleen!!!
Collen, this is just Christmas magic on a card! The color palette used is so stunning!
Beautiful! Love the embossing at the bottom.
Oh, so very elegant in these colors! Beautiful border embossing, too. I love to decorate the house for Christmas, but taking it down afterward is not so much fun, except by then I'm ready to reclaim the house. Happy holidays, Colleen!
GORGEOUS!!!
That is so sweet of your daughter to offer to decorate your whole house. She sounds like a sweetheart.
Love your card. Pretty, Pretty...
Hugs~
What a beautiful star, Colleen! I love the embossed strip and the additional little star with pearl! And that sweet bow is perfect with the design! I have sent my cards and received a beauty from you. Thank you, my friend!
This is stunning Colleen! Thank you for the inspiration! Simple rustic elegance that takes my breath away!
