Reindeer in flight!!!!

I am in the middle of trying to get everything ready for the Big Day... Christmas.... which is only 25 days away... yikes where has the time gone??? Does anyone see it flying by quicker than ever???  Well it sure did fly past here... Even though we are thinking about the spring plantings, and what to buy and what do we want, we are now also thinking about Christmas...

I am trying to make gift tags and special cards... so here is one that is a real combination... and it fills the challenge on The Shabby Tea Room Challenge... so it is perfect...

The Challenge was to make a card to GET IN SHAPE for the holidays... how great is that one... We could not use a square or rectangle... but could use an oval or circle... I choose to use the oblong oval from Spellbinders... I layered it with glittered strips of punched out paper lace with a new Martha punch... and then put an oval scalloped frame around it... then I made two Parchment Holly leaves and put a bow on...

Then I created the Reindeer with the Tim Holtz Die cut

And THEN.... I used a little Just Rite stamp to finish off the look I desired...

Wishing you a holiday filled with Peace and Joy... just my feelings 100%...


Here is a close up of the Reindeer and the greeting... The deer is so very delicate and I hope you can see all the glitter ... it is soft, but it layer upon layer of glittered paper lace...
On the back I put a Swiss dotted oval just to finish it off... and then also a space to write a message...
This is an card first... as it will be mailed... but it is going to go onto a present as well.. and then it can be used as an ornament... I love it when a plan comes together ...
Thanks Debbie for such a great challenge this week...

How you all have a wonderful week of creating and getting ready for Christmas... and also thanks for taking the time to stop by for a visit... Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
