Joy


Hi friends.  Sharing another Christmas card today.  It is still freezing cold in the North East so I am plugging away at my Christmas cards.  I find it a little harder to make them when it is stifling hot in the summer months.   Now that I see this card on my screen, I think the holly leaves are too small.  :(  What do you think?

I followed the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches and the visual at Festive Friday!




Don't you just love that visual?  Those cookies look so good!!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

  3. I think the holly is just perfectly sized...it adds a pop of color without taking away from the joy diecut and your fabulous angled background! Lovely just the way it is! :0)

  10. Don't you hate it when things look different on the "big" screen? I wouldn't worry. If the holly was any bigger there wouldn't be room for the Joy. I love the contrast of the papers.
