Reason for the Season....

 Inspired by a card that I found on the internet, this card uses a Window Sheet on the front for the card face so you look directly into the inside of the card.  The Window Sheet was attached to the card between the Real Red card front flap and the Mossy Meadow strip so you can't see any adhesive.  I don't like seeing adhesive on my cards!  The Poinsettias were cut from the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday catalog which expires on January 4 so make sure to visit my online store to order some of this wonderful paper!

 This card was CASE'd from Kimberly Van Diepen.  I thought it was so cute and had to make my own.  I added the striped embossing, the gold striped vellum and the little enamel dots.  I think it turned out really nice.

Pretty Poinsettias....

 Nothing says Christmas quite like a poinsettia.  I mean, really, besides Christmastime, when do you see these plants?  When I was young, my mother planted one just outside her front door after Christmas.  It grew big but never got the beautiful red flowers - just lots of big green leaves!

Here is another use for your spider web doilies left over from Halloween.  We used just the tips along the bottom of the Gold Glitter ribbon.
