Well are we all caught up in the "Christmas Frenzy" yet??!! We did our tree trimming yesterday...so FUN to do it with the family!!! Looking at all the decorations collected over the years...especially the home made ones...some that are a little worse for wear...lol!! I had each one of my boys put their homemade ones on the tree...some being held together with more glue on them then my cards!!
Here is what I came up with...

"Merry Christmas" ribbon is from my stash...
love this sparkle ribbon...
I added a double star set with two rhinestones (Live and Love Crafts)...
the back...
tag is Whimsy which is re-moveable for personalization...
"Merry Christmas" is Hero Arts...

Hi my sweet friend Beth before I rave on about your gorgeous lollipop card I first want to say a big....no sorry a huge....no sorry....a MAHOOSIVE (yeah about right) thank you from the bottom of my heart for your comment, it actually brought tears to my eyes & I even showed my family.....nearly knocking them sideways with my beaming smile lol. Thank you sweetie so incredibly much.
ReplyDeleteOk now for this card, this complete array of gorgeousness on a stick ;-) I love making these & think they are fab to make, though can become addictive so be warned lol. I love all the foofiness, the lace absolutely everything. I especially love this Tilda, she is one of my faves, my top 10 faves as well & she looks incredibly beautiful here. I totally agree with your crafting buddy Calla....her eyes were not the only ones to pop sweetie. Totally gorgeous!!!
