I am SO excited that the weekend is finally here, AND, it's a three day weekend at that! I got to sleep in this morning, and I get to sleep in again tomorrow and Monday too. Woot! We have no real plans of doing much, except maybe BBQing some ribs, and catching that movie I promised my daughter. Aside from that, it's going to be a relaxing weekend, I hope.
Anyway, onto why you're here today. This month we are CASEing Mynn, at CASEing Christmas. Here is her adorable card.
And here is my card.
I kept the layout the same, but went for a different color combo and theme. I do have a few people on my Christmas card list, who don't speak English, so this will go to one of them. You can't really tell from the photo, but there is a small line of Stickles along each of the snow drifts, for some added sparkle. I was excited to finally put my new Bossy Joscie flair to good use too. I love this peppermint looking piece. It was perfect for this card. This will add to my stash of Christmas cards nicely. I'm going to enter this for the following challenges.

Try It On Tuesday: Try Something New (I've never used flair, or the snow drift dies before)

I hope you head over to the CASEing Christmas blog to see what everyone has created today. I also hope you get to play along with us this month. What better time, than right now, to start building your Christmas card stash, right? :-)
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend my friends!
