The holiday season has officially begun! Can you feel it? About a week ago a dear friend wrote and asked if I was familiar with the musical, "Mame." Why yes, I wrote back. She went on to write how much she was looking forward to Christmas this year. Well Santa dear we're in a hurry! For we need a little Christmas, we need a little music, need a little laughter, need a little singing, ringing through the rafters. We need a little Christmas now!
Let's start by looking at this card made especially for you my friends. I'm inviting you to get in the mood. Put on some music, have a hot beverage, and sing or hum that catchy tune from Mame. See, now you've got the Christmas spirit! My card today features the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps new November Release, Spectacular Snowflakes and the Coordinating Dies. Oh my goodness friends they are some kinda gorgeous. Big, medium, and small snowflakes with coordinating dies. I used the small snowflakes and die today.
A beautiful ivory card decorated with flat pearls, pale champagne rhinestones, and liquid pearls. My ribbon is light and airy with a hint of gold. I did not pop up the snowflakes so this card could actually be mailed. The sentiment is from our previous September release, Christmas Silhouettes. I stamped with Stampin' Up's Soft Suede ink and sponged the outside of the panel with it as well. I have talked with you about my desire to use up my designer papers. I'm being a good girl Santa and doing just as I promised. This paper is from several years ago. I believe the name is "Merry Christmas" and is from Craft 'n Craftin' (I think). I thought it was so prefect to use this way. I love the idea of creating my Scandinvian looking tree with these snowflakes. Hope you do too.
So haul out the holly, think about those fruitcakes, and the lovely cards you'll be sending to family and friends.
Thank you so much for visiting today.

Thank you for all the fun invited holiday festivities. It is evening now but perhaps I can do some of these things tomorrow. I think your card is very creative and original looking. I like the way you decorated the snowflakes. You have done a lot to spread your cheer today. Thank you!! :>)
