I can't believe it's been almost a week since I last posted. Just like everyone else I've been busy busy busy trying to get things done during this crazy time of year! Also, most of last weekend was spent finishing up that 72 card special order and I was more than happy to finally hand it over on Tuesday! Today I'm supposed to be doing some cleaning but instead I snuck off to the Craft Cave to get a little carding done. So much more fun than vacuuming... :)Today's card is for 4 challenges. The colours are taken from this week's Just Us Girls challenge which I had to play along with because my buddy Lynn is the hostess! :) (Hope it's okay that I snuck some yellow in there...) My inspiration is from the photo collage at Jay Gee's Nook (in particular the gift bag in the lower left hand corner). I also wanted to play along with the Inkspirations Christmas Creations Challenge as, sadly, this is their final challenge. And last but certainly not least I'm joining in with Use It Tuesday's Holiday challenge. I've had that poinsettia die in my stash for a few years now and I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've used it. That music background also had quite the layer of dust on it when I pulled it out too! That's it for now. Later, gators!

72 cards?!?! Have you been working for the last two years on that?!? Hooray for you for getting it done!
Such a simply fabulous simple card-that banner is so festive and I love that poinsettia die (also love the fact that I spelled poinsettia right on the first try!).
Mr. Corgi tried to tell me that some website said instead of turning up the thermostat when you're cold, you should vacuum instead. Mr Corgi received a death stare in return, but I'm pretty sure the reverse could work in your favor..."it's just too hot to vacuum!"

Glad you're back!! I love the banner and I really want that poinsettia die!!

What a gorgeous flower, and it looks amazing with the music background. I can't believe you still had the energy to make this beauty after finishing 72 cards! Wow!
Fabulous card! Love the musical score in the BG and the poinsettia is great. Thanks for joining us in our last Inkspirations challenge :)
If it weren't for the last minute I'd never get anything done :)
I hope all 72 didn't have to be the same? Still, that's a lot to make on top of your own!
Love the poinsettia - the embossing detail is gorgeous, and I love the musical background :)
