Bear with "Merry Christmas" Sign...

Oh my, Christmas is fast approaching and I can see a lot of people have already been buying stuff in preparation for Christmas which is exactly the reason why I had to come up with a card fit for the season...I took some inspiration from a "A Card-A-Day" magazine from one of the cards designed by Ms. Wendy Sue Anderson and a my own version in 2 slight color variations.  I am pretty please with how these turned out.  This card is entered into this Challenge:

1.  Saturday Challenge featuring Clean and Simple

The image is by Adam Pescott that I got from buying a Cardmaking magazine.  It was pretty late last year for me to use them so, I thought this time, I will make sure I incorporate them in my Christmas cards...

Love how the stitching added charm to this project.  I used a Fiskars Punch to make the borders and stich them to the card...Great!

Surely one of my favorite Christmas cards...I hope to post more in the coming days but has so much to do that finding time to go and do some cards is pretty difficult nowadays...But when I do, I always enjoy every minute of it, not so much the sleepless nights though...LOL  

Be sure to be a blessing to all people you come across each day...Tell them of the good things that Christ has done/is doing  in your life!
