Look at this photo from Festive Friday! I just want to pull out a chair and sit right down.
I guess it won't be long anyway...just a couple of months till Christmas. I sure have a ton of Christmas cards ready, thanks to Festive Friday and other Christmas card challenges.
The inspiration I took from the photo were the beautiful greens and pine cones tied on the chairs. Every year, I go out in our yard and cut some boughs for centerpieces and baskets around the house. I like to add shiny red bulbs and bows. Some years I tied greens onto our napkins,too. And on the sled by the front door..and....I guess you get the picture...just about everywhere you look!
I am also entering this at Pixie's Snippets Playground...as I did use snippets of paper from my scrap box to cut out the dies.
Head on over and check out the other cards,too!
Paper: White textured, SU cherry cobbler, always artichoke
Ink:SU Black

If you are interested in challenges, I host a new one called "Throwback Thursdays", at my blog.
I think this is real Christmas!
Great dies you used!
Love it!
Hi Laurie
You sweetly commented on my card that you couldn't come up with a thing neon for Merry Monday. I just hope you realise that this card of yours is absolutely amazingly gorgeous and worth ten of mine! One of THE most beautiful Christmas cards ever, in my humble opinion! Sure there are no snippets used? I do allow some back linking in the Snippets Playground and I know the girls would love to see this beauty, Well done Laurie!

This is really stunning. What a beautiful card!
This is so elegant! I'm suffering from die cut envy here! Wow!
Love the dimension and texture created from this die cut! Placement on a simple white cardbase is the perfect way to show it off to its fullest! So glad you joined us at Festive Friday!
A fabulous card. The deep colours really stand out against the white card. Beautiful! x
Just beautiful. Every detail is perfect!

Beautiful card.
Stunning card Laurie, I've gone and added even more dies to my wishlist! Your take on the inspiration pic is fabulous, Cathy x
Truly so very colorful and just plain stunning! Terrific card. Lovely to see you at the Snippets Playground.
I just had to come and have a closer look at this fabulous card. I saw it
very deservedly in Di's showcase at the snippets playground. Brilliant use of die cuts and colour and style.
