It's almost SANTA time!!
But before the big guy shows up and all the festivities begin, I wanted
to take a few minutes for myself and create a little something to share with you today!
We do have a bit of snow on the ground right now but thankfully not as much as some states have received recently. It's always nice to have a bit of white stuff on the ground for Christmas Day but since we travel to our daughters, it's also nice to have clear roads for the trip.
We actually do see deer in our back yard quite frequently even though we live in the suburbs and in a housing development. They are beautiful creatures even though they do love to eat all my flowers & bushes. I don't mind if they sleep in my backyard (which they do frequently in the months of October & November) ... just please go to the neighbors for breakfast lol.
Anyways ... about this card . . .
The image used is one of my many favorites from Penny Black. Their Premium Cardstock, 3.25 x 4.5 designs are fabulous for quick & easy cards since these images are all so beautiful. With that being said, I'd like to enter today's card into the Penny Black Saturday Challenge for December where the theme is Anything Goes with an option of Winter Wonderland.
The dies used are as follows: Poppystamps 'Tender Deer' (#1939), Hunkydory 'Let it Snow' (MSTONE039) and Hunkydory 'A Holly Jolly Christmas' (MSTONE035).
