A little teddy bear

Good morning everyone.  Here's hoping you are all set for a lovely weekend.  Do you notice how time flies when the weather is nice and the sun is shining, but how long the days seem in winter? Except for Christmas time, of course...


Today's card uses a stamp from LOTV, coloured with water colours with added stickles for the garland.  It's then cut out and matted with the Spellbinders Marvelous Squares die set. 

Some nice bright papers, a pretty flower with a button centre, and a few more die-cuts to finish it off.  The Memory Box Frosty Border die creates some sparkly interest with some gold glitter paper, while the sentiment is made with an Elizabeth Craft die.

It's never too early to start on Christmas cards, right?

Thanks for stopping by.
