All Things Bright & Beautiful

I absolutely LOVE Christmas, and all that it entails.  But I must admit that I am ready to start making some other cards and projects.  So, when I found out about these challenges, I decided to enter them, and to make/enter something a bit less "Christmasy".  I'm sure you can all relate to this.  I'm not finished with winter projects, just taking a break for today anyway.

Simple Stories has so many amazing lines.  This card was made primarily from their Summertime line, along with Bo Bunny double dots paper, a Jenni Bowlin journaling card and ruler sticker, a Kaiser Crafts rub-on, some buttons, and my much-loved hand-made scrunched seam binding (which I seem to be outting on everything these days).  I also machine stitched on this card which is another touch that I just love.

I'm entering it at Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog, Paper Playtime and The Shabby Tea Room.  You can read about these wonderful challenges by clicking on the following links.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you're not too busy cleaning up the Christmas wrapping and trim.  I also hope that each of you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.

Blessings,
