I love, love, love Christmas...but I am NOT ready. I listen to Christmas music (Noel by Josh Groban is in my player right now), I don't mind early Christmas decorations in stores...I search high and low for a radio station that only plays Christmas music at the earliest date...but have I made Christmas cards? Yes...one...and here it is. I had plans to have all of my cards ready to go early, but it's sneaking up too fast! I just love this snowflake stamp! I embossed it in clear and sponged color around it, then cut apart a $1 stamp from Michael's to make the sentiment. Oh, and the scallop around the oval is done with the threading water punch. I just made a lot of little slits in it so I could bend it around. For my very first tall card, it's not terrible...not my favorite, but I can live with it.

Very pretty, Denise! Now that you've started, hopefully the rest will get done quickly. I'm still trying to decide what I'm making for cards this year!!! Not unusual for me!
This is such a lovely card - I keep forgetting how much I love tall cards. They are so elegant! I am sooo ready for Christmas to come!

I feel the same way about Christmas. I'm never ready for it! I love the mood and the spirit but it can be so exhausing. A little Christmas music does help, I think. Your card is beautiful! The snowflake is just gorgeous!
Very nice card! Thanks for the inspiration!
What a gorgeous card!! I love it!!
Awesome card! I've been really enjoying the tall style lately; it's fun to mix things up now and again :) And yep, Christmas will be here before you know it!
Hi Denise, I don't have a clue how I found your blog and it was just one click ago. I think I'm going to have to make a link to your site. Perhaps you will be motivation to get me going on some projects. I do best when a group of people are gathered to work on scrapbooking together but I do love making cards--never attempted anything like you've done. Just beautiful.
What a pretty card! I love christmas as well, and yes it is sneeking up on us very quickly!!!
great Tall card. Surprising how fast Christmas has come round.
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog.
I haven't made any tall cards either, something else to add to my list to try. Christmas is sure coming fast...with the snow UGH LOL. I better get to making cards too.
I think your card is great. I always try to do my cards early but find myself doing them until the last minute!
