The colors today really said Christmas to me so I decided to use this stamp set that had never seen ink. You would think by looking at this that it came together quickly...well it didn't! I think I could now reproduce it quickly (and may for my Christmas cards) but oh my! It took me forever to make decisions and correct mistakes - hence my "four hour" card! LOL!

Some card creating sessions are just like that, I guess, I certainly have them. But your end result is just a delight Jeanne! Love the dotted background and the red circle grounding those cute Christmas trees.

this is really a pretty card Jeanne-I like the clean and classy look - the background stenciling fits well with the tree images- hopefully you can mass produce a little quicker

LOL. Jeanne, your 4 hour story resonates with me! There are times when I just can't make a decision to save my life or I add one too many things and mess the whole card up and then I have to start over. I love your card though especially the yellow dotted background!

Jeanne, I had to read your blog and find out more about your four-hour card. I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, but you wrote a great blog post. I love the result you came up with, the placement of the trees, the circle frame, and especially that you added shine and sparkle to match your greeting! Love this!
