I am hard at work trying to get all my Christmas cards ready to go before Thanksgiving. Today I mixed a few die cuts together with a sentiment from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps to create this holiday card.

Dies: Nativity Die by Taylored Expressions, Pine by Impression Obsession, and
Circle Nestabilities by Spellbinders
Papers: Recollections White, Stampin' Up Blue Bayou and Glorious Green
Inks: Versamark and SU Handsome Hunter
Embellishment: Silver Embossing Powder, Silver Cord, Silver Tinsel Ribbon

I have entered this Christmas card in the following challenges:

    What a beautiful ornament, Lynn! Love that pretty gold embossing on the nativity scene. Wish I could say I would have my Christmas cards done by Thanksgiving, But I don't see that happening unless I really work it in November.
