Merry Christmas!


For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

~Isaiah 9:6-7~


I love celebrating the most treasured gift ever given.  I pray that during this season, you too are blessed with Peace and Knowledge of the Almighty who has demonstrated the greatest gift of love that one could ever have!  

And speaking of giving, if you are a paper crafter, you are in for quite a treat at the end of this week!  Check back for one of the most 'giving' blog hops you'll ever come across!  

Until then, Merry Christmas!

I have two more cards to share with you today.  These are with the same Kaiser Craft paper line and Spellbinders Die Templates (Layered Poinsettia and Heirloom Ornaments). I also used an M-bossibilities folder on the second card called Ornamental Iron. These were actually designed these for a class at Memories and More.  Hope you are inspired today and stayed tuned for a give-away details!!








I'm pretty excited that we are going to have our first white Christmas.  The kiddos are loving the snow!!  I can't believe we are on a five day count down. So. not. Ready!
