Card #59 for 2024

Dearest Blog Readers, 5 days until Christmas.  

This year with having covid since after Thanksgiving,

I feel very unprepared for Christmas, in fact I didn't

even send out as many Christmas cards this year.  I

do thank the Good LORD that my smell and taste 

are returning slowly, just very weak and tired yet. Then

on Dec 12th we had some very unexpected upsetting news.

We are still trying to process it all.  I will share more 

later on that topic.  For now lets talk about this card I made.

I can't believe I've only made 59 cards for the year,

goodness that's astonishing low, for someone who loves 

to stamp, guess losing Hunter, and now the new pup 

have just kept me busy, with worry and stress. 

I will enter this card at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I used the following stamp sets:

Stampin Up:

Holiday Home

For Unto Us

Winter Window from paper treyink

and a Christmas snowglobe set(not sure the name)

I took a lot of creative liberties with the sketch in 

regards to this card.  I just wanted to use my window pane set.

Sometimes when I go through my stamps, I forget what I have. 

It had 12 panes but I cut off the lower three so it would fit 

in the space better.  I used blue cardstock in the background

and stamped white snow and then the Santa and his reindeer are in 

black.  I die cut the christmas tree after stamping it along with the 

windowsill evergreen.   I look forward to playing a bit more with 

this set.  I looked it up online to see what others have done with it.

Below is a picture of Patriot enjoying the snow. It's the first 

accumulation where he can frolic and play.  He loves it.

I finished my crocheted tote bag last night.  Very hard

on my eyes because of the dark colors, but it's a whopper

and I'm sort of proud of myself for getting it done.  

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and 

a Happy Healthy prosperous New Year  

Thanks for sticking with me all year.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

Luke 2:14KJV

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
