color palette - certain to tickle your Christmas spirit! I'll bet you're just about

A perfect excuse to get ALL textury and festooned...

Detailed. I meant DETAILED! But in a simple and FUN way!
Ya see what I did there? Stamped that groovy word art stamp
from Wplus9, Love You More... A lovely combo to punctuate
what Mom REALLY wants... {LOVE!} Well, if you must know,
Mom wants that, and... as much OCTOBER AFTERNOON
Holiday Style paper
as a gal can HOARD, ur, uh - I mean carry.

picture it? {Yeah, RIGHT - we just got our Christmas tree,

I have no doubt you do Christmas up in style Elise! :) I love this card! My favorite parts are the twine...oh my...why do I never think to do this...adds the perfect holiday feel and the yummy snowflakes! Love your take on the challenge!

Elise, I love how you described us as hoarders: SO TRUE! LOL (at least for myself) I keep every little trinket I might find in a parking lot or that someone is throwing away. Sometimes, I have to force myself to just let go of those things.

Your card is full of neat goodies: the twine flower center, the kraft die cuts, those puffy snowflakes. Very cool!
