Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful day with those they love the most! I'm very thankful for all my family and friends and wish you all a peaceful and joyful Christmas!

Bling for Christmas Eve!

This Christmas card has some bling on it thanks to the Red and Silver Glimmer paper and some Basic Rhinestone Jewels that I colored with a red Sharpie. I used the Holiday Collection Framelits for the tree and star and the Apothecary Accents Framelits on the Brights DSP Stack piece. The 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch was used for the Silver scallop. And I finished it off with some paper-piercing using the Essentials Paper-piercing pack.
