Another Christmas card today, although I suppose it could also be used for other occasions. Notice the nice cool colours rather than the traditional! What do you think of that silver glitter piece. The paper was actually a dollar store find, and it came in a two pack. I never realized it was a peel and stick until I ran it through my big shot. It came apart while I was separating the pieces. (lol)
This image is another cutie from Sassy Studio Designs, and it's called First Snow! I've added glitter to all the snow, so there is lots of sparkle. It's coloured with some older markers that I've had for ages, and Prisma pencils for extra shading. The papers are from my stash, of course, and I've finally gotten around to using some flowers again...adding these doesn't come easy to me, although I love seeing them on everyone else's cards.
I really can't believe that I'm making Christmas cards in July....next I'll be starting my Christmas shopping! Summer seems to be flying by. Now, if it would just cool down some, maybe I could enjoy the sunshine.
Have yourselves a great day, and try to enjoy the moment.

LOL..you crack me up with your humor. Oh, by the way, if you DO start shopping early, please drop me a line, I'll send you my list of gifts I need to get too! I'll be the one shopping the week before, like always, even though I promise myself every year I'll be early.
