It is go time around here! The tree is up, on line shopping is finished, packages are wrapped, and pies are in the freezer. Please notice there is no mention of Christmas cards being finished or mailed....sigh...I won't even pledge to start earlier next year because it never happens! So quick and easy tag cards work perfectly right now! I am sending a few more cards than usual this year since our regular holiday gatherings will not be happening this year.....because of you know what....
In the meantime find yourself a nice furry four legged friend to hang out with!

ReplyDeleteThis is festive and fun and I just want to reach through the screen and touch the velvety background! A lovely card, Linda!
ReplyDeleteI always love your cards. The background is fantastic on this and I love the simple flow of the holly!!!
ReplyDeleteThis card is incredible, Linda! I love everything about it. What a wonderful way to showcase this stamp set and this gorgeous paper! Love! And then there's Emma - wasn't she just a toddler?
ReplyDeleteA beauty of a tag on a beauty of a card...LOVE the vellum over green! You are ahead of me on shopping...and my cards are almost ready to go out! Yikes, time is ticking away! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Players this week!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Linda! Clean and simple but totally beautiful! And - love seeing Emma on her horse-journey! It's one I remember very well. And...am still IN!! Thanks so much for sharing your pretty project with us this week at The Players!
ReplyDeleteOh! How I would love to have a nice furry friend like Emma's! Please, Santa? I girl can dream, eh? Your card is a beauty! Love the sweet holly tag, and WOW that specialty paper is gorgeous too!
ReplyDeleteLove this gorgeous holly combo Linda - a stunning use of that flocked paper for the background. Just lovely! And I'm glad you are not done on the Christmas card front - me neither, despite the best of intentions! Thanks for playing along with my theme challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteLove the whimsical line of holly on the tag, Linda! Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteThis card is just gorgeous Linda! I love the background and the tag is so elegant. The colours just pop. Very stunning! I have most of the gifts purchased, the wrapping started today but pies...no pies here!!!! You're one ambitious lady!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and a gorgeous background!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love the tag itself but the background is really fabulous too. Now for this whole pies are made thing? So you mean that pies can be made and stored and not eaten?? This is a new concept for me. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely with the flocked paper in the background!
