Howdy friends! Happy Saturday to you! I find myself in a quiet house at the moment, so in between laundry and vacuuming, I decided to come up to the Studio to play for a moment. As you might know, I'm trying to make 5 Christmas cards each month so come time I already have the stress of that done - oh, and I'm trying to use my stash of stuff which seems to multiply like Gremlins overnight! So, I visited Nichole's Blog at Papertrey Ink and got inspired once again. Check it out here.
Here is my version of the card that Betsy did in her video - I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out!
After watching the video, this card came together quickly. The longest part was the coloring of the candy canes, which I wasn't going to do but I needed more on the card after I looked at it. So, this makes 1 down for April - 4 more to go!!
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get to do something crafty today!

I had great plans of making at least 3 Christmas cards a week starting the first of the year. I have made none. There just seems to be other more urgent things I need to craft. :-( Maybe I will try again starting this week thanks to you.
