Happy Saturday! I'm typing this post before I head out the door to take Meri to her horse riding lesson. While she's off riding a horse, my sweet sister Tina & I are off riding our bikes :) Although the temps are still in the 100's here, it's cool in the 80's early in the morning ~ PERFECT for bike riding. Tomorrow, we head out of town for a mini Fall break. Do you have anything fun planned this weekend?
I made this rather CAS Christmas card featuring a few of my favorite products. I recently stumbled across the pretty patterned paper that I used to make this card in a Vintage store that specializes in Vintage home decor! It's
Pink Paislee's retired Father Christmas collection but I don't care ~ I think it is gorgeous and I am on the lookout for more!
The stamped focal point is a combination of the pretty wreath like image from
Waltzingmouse Faux Fun Circles and the Joy sentiment from
Say It Loud Winter Holiday. I love that so many of the
Waltzingmouse stamps may be easily mixed and matched ~ giving you a lot of mileage from your stamps :)
Thanks so much for stopping by today ~ hope you like what you see :) Be Sweet!

Spellbinders Standard Circles SM,
