Oh Christmas Tree:

Good morning.  I have been struggling with a card for the last two days so I set it aside and do what I do best:  cleaning and organizing.  I don't think my craftroom has been this clean in long time.  

Once my room was gleaming and sparkly, I pulled out my arch nemeses and gave it my best shot with what I had.

This is my first Christmas card of the year - I hope I don't have this kind of trouble every time!

Card Ingredients:  House Mouse stamp, Craftsmart Black ink, Echo Recollections papers, DCWV and Recollections cardstock, Prismacolor Pencils {email me for complete list}, Circle and Labels 3 Nesties, Inkssentials Glossy Accents, My Mind's Eye burlap, Dress It Up buttons, Doodlebugs bakers twine.  Tools:  sewing machine, blending stumps, mineral spirit.

I made this Christmas card for the following challenges: Christmas Card Challenge - Christmas, Christmas Inspirations - sentiment, layers, white,  CSAYL - anything Christmas, 52 Christmas Card - buttons and bows, Glitter Geeks - stitching, Sunday Sketch - sketch:

Okay, I think that is it for today.  Please have a wonderful day!

Well done Deanne on the start of your Christmas cards. I have managed to do 10 so far but only because I am in a fortnightly Christmas card club. I'm quite enjoying doing them throughout the year as it doesn't seem quite so daunting. Also by the time I do get them all finished normally (usually Christmas Eve lol) I have just had enough and am so over it. It's a gorgeous House Mouse card hun. Always best to walk away from it when struggling as you never end up happy with it. I always find doing something else crafty like cleaning or sorting out stash helps. I usually end up finding something I forgot I had which inspires me with the card!!!. I'm sure you won't struggle everytime Deanne. Hugs Clare xxx
