I hope you all are enjoying your holiday time with your family and friends. I know we just had Christmas and now we all will be "Ringing in the New Year" in a few days. Gosh, time flies, I just can't believe it's gonna be "2015".
Well with Christmas last week I didn't get a chance to post some of the things I made. So I will be sharing a few posts today.
Here is a card I made for Christmas, I have to say the pictures are nice but in person these cards turned out beautifully and I left the inside blank. I hope you get inspired to make some Christmas cards early, of course I totally get it if you care Christmas'd out. As some of us have been making cards and creations since November or even earlier. Right?
**There is Gold Ribbon and kraft corrugated paper behind the Santa.
