The Sweet Stop Sketch 134

I first want to say a big "Thank You" to all of you who stop by and leave such nice comments.  I appreciate all of you and I want to apologize that I haven't been able to visit everyone as much as I use to.  This school year has brought on a lot of added activities and I may have over done it myself.  I have some new goals for the new year but I will share all of that next month.  I am so dead tired at the end of the day I just can't stay up so late anymore but I hope to get better.
I have another Christmas project to share with you today.  I  have been trying really hard to get a few Christmas cards done for those extra special people that appreciate a hand made card.
I used the new sketch over at The Sweet Stop SSS134.  My stamp is from Elizabeth Bell called What's In the Box Peeker. And I used my new favorite holiday sentiment set from Sweet 'n Sassy called Christmas Tags.  I loved the black and red wreath I made here and decided to make a card in the same colors to go along with it.  The border punch is MFT Dienamics Scalloped Scallop and I added some silver dots on the edges to go along with the ribbon buckle.
Sending Love

    What a precious Christmas card, Shelby! The coloring alone is spectacular, but add to that the wonderful papers, the buckle, ribbon, and the silver bling and you have one gorgeous card! I pray you'll have some relaxing, quiet time during your busy week!
