I was so excited to see Marie was the QFTD last week. She is a fellow Punchkateer and always leaves my gallery more love than it deserves! My computer was dying when I viewed her gallery and all the cards I looked at were blue, but I found a great looking holiday card in her great gallery to case:
I used a stamp instead of embossing to do my wreath and I added lots of sparkle and gems. I think I am on track now for getting my holiday cards on time.
Thanks for the inspiration Marie! Hugz!!!
