Visions of Sugar Plums!

Oh dear! Can you believe it's December already!!! I really need to get moving on my Christmas shopping and decorating. I probably should get busy making my Christmas cards too! Time flies when you're having fun and this week I'm having LOTS of fun helping take care of my granddaughters! So I guess I won't get much accomplished this week, oh well, it's worth it!

Our Stampendous Design Team theme this week is "Sugar Plum Wishes and Angel Kisses!".
This sweet House-Mouse Design called Nestled in Bed fits the theme perfectly. Can't you just image the sugar plums dancing through their dreams!

  3. Tape a 2 1/4" x 6" piece of kraft cardstock near the bottom of the filigree and color with BR2 and BR5 to look like a wood floor, add a strip of blue cardstock across the middle, then two pieces of Yellow May Arts ribbon across the blue, add to the front left of the card.
