Candle's & Poinsettia

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

How was your weekend? Mine was just Okay...

I did some cleaning, furniture moving (again), took down

my Halloween stuff left the Fall/Thanksgiving stuff up -

I even contemplated pulling out my Christmas stuff!

My son was ready to go if that's what I wanted - But

I said nooo... I'll wait a little longer! hahaha

I packed a big box of goodies to send to my Marine

for Thanksgiving, and got it in the mail today!

I already had my Thanksgiving cards done -

So I stamped them and they'll be off this week as well -

Christmas cards are done too - No Surprise (Right?) LOL

and they'll get stamps on them soon & in the mail by the 1st!

Geesh! I'm exhausted just typing this list out!

When did I rest? ummm, I guess I didn't! LOL

Maybe next weekend! I did hit up the stores and started 

my holiday shopping too! I picked up some home decor

items and got some goodies for stocking stuffers -

along with Halloween/Fall candy that was 70% off -

I'm planning on making fall treat bags for the kids at school

and I got some small Christmas treat bags made for my

Last Local Card Swap class of the year! We'll meet

up again in January! :)

Well... after ALL that I guess I'll share a holiday card with you!!

Okay.. so you all know I went to that Holiday card kit class

a couple of weeks ago, so here is HER CARD --

It's a lovely card really, but I didn't like

the background (too many dots for my taste) 

and the label/sentiment section bothered me

so I felt it needed just a tad more POP!

So, here is my version --

First off - I used a Hunter Green Card base, hers was a lighter shade

of green & not of a good quality card base -

then I changed the embossing folder to one that had some dots....

not anything too overwhelming - Then, I changed the candle order and 

trimmed mine down just a tad - and I decided to use my

Gina Marie Designs (Pine Needle Die) and my (Poinsettia Die Set #1)

and honestly, I think it has way more character now!

I didn't add a sentiment to this one because I didn't feel it needed it -

The image speaks for itself really.... AND I popped up the Glitter Flames -

 What do you guys think???
