Merry Christmas To All

Okay, folks, one more post before I take a break for the holidays.
I debated sharing the card I made for my dad, but decided against it. I TOTALLY cased one of Maile Belle's cards from the October PTI release here. I couldn't help myself. When I saw Maile's card, it was so completely perfect for my dad. So anyway, have a look at Maile's beautiful card, and you'll pretty much see mine. The only thing I changed was the sentiment, and I made the pool of water a little larger.
So now, off to the rest of the cards...

 This one is simple and to the point, and EASY to mail. Never thought I would use the Grunge Me set on a Christmas card, but I did....

 Another one that could be mailed with no extra postage, but the light hitting all the spots of Diamond Stickles was quite lovely. I debossed the Kraft panel with the Tin Types Impression plate after stamping, and just hit all those circular indentions with a drop of Stickles- perfect placement every time.

This ended up being one of my favorite cards this year. I dunno, something about it just makes me happy. I'm still loving the Parisian Lace doily die as a wreath, too.
So, I'm headed back to the kitchen now; have to make some cookies for Santa, don't ya know?
I wish each and every one of you a happy, wonder filled Christmas, and blessings heaped upon you for the New Year.
See ya next year!
