O' Christmas Tree

Hello Friends!  Hope you are all having a lovely week!  We've finally had another storm yesterday .. loud thunder, dark skies and heavy rain .. OooOh how I loved it!  And now today, the temperature is beautiful.  :)  Love how the storms bring in the cool weather!

Anyway, I made a card using Lili of the Valleys "Christmas Star" from the first Christmas release this year.  OoOoH I just LOVE her (well, I say that about all of the images from Lili of the Valley right?!  lol!  But it's so true!)

Papers:  The Paper Studio
Medium:  Distress Inks

I'd also love to enter this into:
7 Kids College Fund:  Easy as 1, 2, 3 ...
Bunny Zoe's:  Distressing

All of the Christmas images & sentiments are in stock once again at Lili of the Valley  .. so it would be a great time to treat yourselves to your desires now!  :)  Happy Shopping!  hehe!

Thank you so much for visiting me .. I love it when you do!  I'll see you again soon!  Don't forget to stop by LOTV Inspirational Blog and check out my FABULOUS DT sisters works!  They are absolutely inspiring!!!

Hugs,
Elise
