I love how Pam124 does her photos of her cards - they are BEAUTIFUL! Mine doesn't do hers justice by any means - but I added a few dew drops in front of my card for a fun look. ;)
I'm not thrilled with the outcome - but it was fun for my first card with this set. I've always loved this DP that I got at Archiver's last year after Christmas and think it goes well with Kiwi Kiss (or Old Olive), Cranberry Crisp, Bashful Blue and Vanilla. My DH doesn't think that the BB goes well and throws off the look. What do you think?
TFL and I hope you'll take time to leave a comment. THANKS

I do love Christmas ornament cards and this one is just beautiful with those stripes on the Top Note die and your awesome bottom layer. Yes, Pam does display her cards in such a pretty way. Love your dew drops and how they pick up the colors in your card.

You know Karen, I've found men just don't get color!!! My husband is always saying something looks "off" or if it's not totally traditional, escpecially for holiday cards, then it's not going to work. I, of course, make him read all the comments that say the colors are fabulous!!! LOL!!! Gets him every time!!! As a matter of fact, I LOVE that you added in touches of blue. I think it looks GREAT - have DH check out my comments!! LOL!! I LOVE all your b/g stamping, you use of the pp with the top note die cut and the branches with the ornaments are just PERFECT!! I LOVE how that one BLUE ornament picks up the blue framing of the card. I think you did a TERRIFIC job Karen. Keep 'em coming!! I'm feeling pressured to get on my game with Christmas cards too!! TFS!!

Oh, by the way Karen, you did a great job with the dew drops and the blue really does pick up on the blues in the card in such a pretty way!! I've been working on staging for awhile. I started learning from Julie at justwritedesigns. Check out her gallery when you have a chance. It's marvelous!! TFS!!
