Caring Hearts Blog Hop


Hi, everyone! I'm super excited to be a part of the Caring Hearts blog hop today... There are so many wonderful stampers along the hop, and I hope you'll take a few moments to check out the awesome holiday cards they've created! :)

For my post today, I decided to create a Christmas card.  Christmas has always had a special place in my heart, not just because I like to get a goody or two, but it also doubles as my birthday! LOL, okay, okay, you got me! When I was a kid, I didn't *loooooove* that my birthday fell on Christmas... But now that I'm older, it's totally grown on me! :)

Next stop on the hop is Jamie Larsen! (If you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop, please visit Vera's blog... And to find out more information about the Caring Hearts Card Drive going on through November 15th, please click ***here***.)

Have a great one!

Supplies:
Stamps - Peaceful Poinsettias
Paper - Kraft, Hawaiian Shores, Pure Poppy
Ink - True Black, Fresh Snow
Miscellaneous - New Leaf Grosgrain Ribbon, Black Rhinestones
