May your holidays Sparkle...

Hi there! So happy it's Friday! I have the day off from work and a million and one errands to run! It's been a crazy week for me. I had to have yet another crown placed on one of my molars :( ~ this over 40 something all what it's cracked up to be! 

 Today one of my cards that I made many moons ago is being featured on the Melissa Frances blog :) If you have a chance I would be tickled pink if you stopped by - click HERE. Thanks in advance :) I have made several and I don't have a clue which one it is so it will be a pleasant surprise for me as well!

I have a Christmas card to share with you today that I made using a beautiful sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments along with pretty patterned paper from the Melissa Frances Deck the Halls collection. I layered the sentiment on a die cut made using Die-namics Layered Label Die which was then layered on a doily die cut made using Die-namics Decorative Doily.
I finished it off with a Wild Cherry Poinsettia made using Die-namics Poinsettia. 
 For sketch inspiration, I joined along with Tuesday Morning Sketches:
Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you have a terrific weekend!
Be Sweet ;)

    Love the card Mona so pretty and love all the sparkle.

    The same happened to me after forty, things start to fall apart,, it's like you flick a time switch. But hopefully things will settle down soon. Help I turn 60 next year, but I'm not going to let it beat me after all 60 is the new 50.

    Have a lovely weekend.

    Big hugs Carol x

    This is so pretty. I love the glitter you used on the poinsettia. Do you have a recommendation for glitter? The only product I have is my prisma glitter, but I want to expand my collection. Have a happy weekend, Miss Mona. :)

    Sorry to hear about your tooth. I have one I have to go get filled again. Not sure what is going on with that either. :(
