I was finally able to join in the Stampin'B challenge this week. I like to do as many as I can in honor of my friend, Benzi, who is on the design team.
This week was to make the sentiment the main focus. I hope this Christmas card qualifies for the challenge. Plus, it's another Christmas card down. I did 2 different versions using different ribbons and ef's.
Sssshhh..don't tell Anne Ryan I uploaded a Christmas Card - it may send her over the edge way before the holidays!! LOL!!
Thanks for the great challenge Lois and thanks so much for taking the time to look!
PT: 3 on each card!

No one has to tell me when you'v gone and uploaded another Christmas card; I can just find them without even looking. I must say I do love both these cards. I have to even think they're more beautiful irl with the stickles that dont really show up in your photo. What a nice change to highlight a sentiment rather than an image. Once again, fruitcake, you've come through with flying colors even if these are christmas cards. Love the ribbons on both and the punch too.
I suppose I'd better start gearing up for those kinds of cards to hit the gallery (or at least yours) in the very near future. I mean it is July, right? Fruitcake, you're midway now fromt he time he left until he returns. You're almost there! Is Brandon in any summer programs? Take care.

These are both gorgeous, Pam. I especially like the poinsettias' center - they look so sparkly. Love the idea of featuring a sentiment, too. Nicely done!

Pamzi, there you are! Glad you're feeling better and joining the Stampin B's this week. Your cards are sooooo gorgeous. I love both! Didn't take Anne Ryan look to locate them, did it? So funny. Your sentiment is wonderful and takes center stage..just what the Stampin B ordered this week. Thanks for playing and showing us your beautiful Christmas cards. Take care!

What a perfect entry for the StampinB challenge, Pamzi!! These are beautiful Christmas cards. I love the sentiment you used as the focal point, the pretty punched frame (you got it perfect!), and those lovely poinsettias. Gorgeous work
