Merry and Bright

I finally completed my Christmas decorating. It's not that I have all that much. I just strung it out! I decorated outside first to take advantage of the beautiful weather we've been having. This time of year can be tricky.

I've had the tree up since last Friday. Kennedy helped me put it together. Yes there were presents before the tree was up!

I apologize for the pic being blurry. I should have gotten out my camera instead of using my phone but its so handy!


I decorated the tree last night.

I managed to carve out a little time to create a card for a challenge over at The Stamping Shack. The theme for this challenge is "Sparkle & Shine".

The background paper is white shimmery with a curvy design. I got this paper on sale. There wasn't anything identifying what company made this paper or what it's called. The ornaments are out of glitter paper I had and used my new framelits ornament dies from Stampin' Up. I used real wire for the string. I popped both ornaments with foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark and embossed with metallic gold. I was pleased with how this card turned out. I hope to make another card to enter this challenge.

Have a good one!
