My First Christmas Card Of 2015


Make It Monday #202: Anchoring 
With Border and Banner Dies
 Melissa Phillips made a beautiful card today with lots of layers  this is my version. 

Merry Monday #147 {Stars!}
This is my very first Christmas card for 2015 ! Normally I have many made by now. 
So happy to be playing along in one of my favorite Christmas card challenges.

I am adding this to the Simon Says Monday Challenge 
 Challenge: No Rules.



Hello! I know many of you are freezing, hope you warm up soon. 
I am happy to report that we have some much needed rain here in Southern California. 
God Bless!
