Anyway, here is another card to share. I am in love with this Santa in the North Pole Treasures by Penny Black. He really is a treasure! He has that old-timing feel and I love how he has spring in his step.

White Christmas Wreath

Posted on by Shauna Todd

Hi Everyone,

Are you one of those early birds that get their Holiday cards sent early? Unfortunately, I am not one of those organized people. I always wait until the last minute. One of the reasons is that I get busy with so many other things but mainly because I do a different card for each family – that way I can have fun with a bunch of really neat Holiday stamp sets that are released the weeks leading to Christmas. So, with this in mind, hang on to your hat, I will be sharing a bunch of Holiday cards this week and next.
