Tomorrow I will be leaving on a much needed vacation,
so my friends I will not be leaving comments on your fabulous creations
until I return, but will certainly play 'catch up' when I am back.
We are to get extensive heat while I am gone and what better way to 'cool off'
then with a Christmas card,
plus I had wanted to join in the end of the month challenge
at Rudolph Days.
It happens once a month on the 25th and ends last day of the month.
This is only the second time I have played as it seems I am always
either too busy or too forgetful lol.
I wish my 'picture taking' could capture the pure beauty of this
as IRL it really is a beautiful card.
A bit deeper blue and the scrap of paper (snippet) behind has a bit more sparkle.
It was just a small piece, but so pretty I couldn't toss it out,
now I am glad I didn't
(truthfully, I keep ALL my paper scraps).

My camera died and I have been relying on my phone for pictures for now
(that's a whole other story)!
I do have a some scheduled posts for next week...
so hope you will 'visit' me while I am gone!
Entering the following challenges:

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!
ReplyDeleteOnly you, my dear, can see that this is more beautiful IRL. To those of us viewing it on screen it appears to be nothing but absolutely STUNNING. This design is gorgeous, as is that awesome blue color. PINNING!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis has a very pretty and delicate look to it, and I'm always happy to see a Christmas card so I'll be encouraged to get busy with them, too. I've been trying. Pretty ribbon and die. I just love the colors. You deserve that vacation and the time offline will be liberating. I'll enjoy your posts while you're gone.
ReplyDeleteThis is so neat and pretty! Love, love, love that bow!
