Sledding on Christmas

 Hello and Merry Christmas!

Spending a few minutes to post a few Christmas cards today. The cards were made with a Spellbinders sled and skates set.  Also used a Stampin Up die set for the wreath.




The snowflake background was made using a stencil and glitter paste.




Love that glittery snowflake background!  Will be back with a few more cards before Christmas.

Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
