Peaceful Boughs Stamp Set & Beautiful Boughs Dies by StampinUP

This card was designed by Kelly I. and made
by me at a recent Basket Swap in Peoria IL.

I thought this card was very pretty & the pearls
added some color too.  (we used a red stampin' blend on those)

If you have any questions on Kellys Christmas card design,
please let me know.  I think she said she cased it
from one of our demo success magazines.  These have
great ideas to copy and learn from!!

Also, I wanted to apologize for my Monday Make It-Send It video
that never happened.  Well it was made, but I could not
download the video to YouTube so ended up posting it on
my facebook business page instead.  I have tried a few things
since Monday night but still no luck.  I do have a backup plan for
next Monday in the works so hopefully I can post a video here on my blog  : )
That remains to be seen......UGH!!
 At any rate, I did send out the 2 featured cards so all is good with that.

Happy Stamping folks!!  Just have some fun with your stamps,
ink, and paper ....... Lori
