Christmas Cardinals Card

It has been such a chaotic day today.  Running to school conferences, to the doctors...where I left my son's report card that I hadn't even seen yet : (   A trip to JoAnn's for some Christmas paper where they tried to tell me that the paper was not on sale, and it was!!!  Does that ever happen to you?  It always happens to me when I am in a hurry!  I need a calgon day for sure one of these days!

I had been in a bit of card withdrawl after having had a sick family for awhile and been sick myself.  I hadn't crafted for at least a couple of weeks.  Now that we are getting healthy again, I was anxious to try out some new craft toys, and this is the first of a few new things I wanted to try.  I got this nestability probably over a month ago now and had not had the chance to use it until now.  I can't even begin to tell you how much I love it.  Isn't it pretty?  There are so many ways it can be used.  I am already thinking of another card to make with it. 

I have had quite the obsession with the Martha Stewart punches in the last several months too.  I can't seem to go to Michaels without coming home with a new one.  When I get a new one, I just want to use it on everything ; )  I just got another new one a few days ago, so that one is going to have to get it's chance too. 

These cardinals have been a favortie of mine for Christmas cards ever since I got them.  I am sure that I will make some more cards with them before the season is over. 

I hope you enjoy and that you will leave me a comment to let me know that you dropped by. 

If you haven't signed up for the blog candy, have a look and see if it is of interest to you, and have a go at it.  It's always fun to give some craft supplies away...especially around the holidays.

Have a great evening!
