you warm my ♡



So, I'm kind of shocked that Thanksgiving is less than a week away.  Where has the time gone?  In true form, I'm freaking out that I don't have very many holiday cards in my stash.  Every year I tell myself to join in more of the holiday card challenges, next year, for sure (wink).  I'm about 70 cards short of what I'd like to have so I'm going to be working in multiples.

Here's one of today's cards:

cardstock:  papertrey ink kraft, mft steel grey, recollections white, stampin' up cherry cobbler  stamps:  mft perk up  ink:  Wplus9 white, zing/white other:  stampin' up baked brown sugar twine, mft dienamics tag builder blueprints 2, teresa collins star sequin

I basically used the same color palette as my first card but needed to make some with the coffee cup dies.

I'm getting ready to go have coffee with 2 of my dear friends.

Before I go, don't forget about the

These are wonderful! I love that chalkboard background and love both versions. You send out a lot of cards! I am a slacker in the Christmas Card department.....I only send to people who I only communicate with through Christmas Cards. It's a little sad.
