I hope everyone is doing well, and have been busy making lots of crafty things. It has been another crazy couple of weeks around here. My daughter turned 18 on the 1st. That morning she took her test to get her drivers license, passed, and was surprised with a new vehicle of her own. To say she was excited is an understatement, but she was only half as excited, as when I gave her tickets to see Maroon 5 (her favorite band) next March. My babygirl had an awesome birthday, and I feel totally blessed to be able to do that for her. On Friday I turned 39, and instead of going out, I chose to have a nice dinner at home with my mom and daughter last night. They made me my favorite dish, and a homemade German chocolate cake. It was amazing! I think I'm getting old. My favorite part of the whole weekend, aside from spending time with them, was getting to sleep in yesterday and today. lol
Seeing as how I was fully rested this morning, I decided to get my craft on. Here is what I created.
I like the simplicity of this card. It's a traditional Christmas card, but I think traditional is good sometimes. And as most of you know, I don't like glitter or embossing powder much, but I decided to emboss this tag in gold. I dig it. It's not only metallic but also has some sparkle to it. It took me forever to clean up all of the gold on my desk, but it was worth the effort. I love how it looks in real life. It doesn't look like much, but I combined all of the following challenges into my card.
Christmas Cards All Year Round: No Patterned Paper
Addicted to CAS #51: Tag
Virginia's View Challenge #9: Metallic
52 Christmas Card Throwdown: Red, Green & Gold or Silver Metallic
Crazy 4 Challenges #261: Number It
The Paper Players #221: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla & Mossy Meadow (i used whisper white)

I think I'm going to make another Christmas card, since I've got that mojo flowing. I hope to be back soon with another card. I hope everyone has an awesome Sunday!
Hugs!
