I'm off to the gym shortly. Yup - start of week 9! I'm actually looking forward to it today. As of last Friday I started semi-private sessions and my Friday workout was WAY better than those I was getting with the group sessions. My back just couldn't take the pace and exercises that are done in the group. With the semiprivate they have tailored a program just for me - to strengthen my core and upper body strength, which is what I'm looking for. 4 more weeks to go before the end of my first sessions. Yay me!
Today I wanted to share my (latest) favourite Christmas card. Lookie:
Jolly Christmas:
Your Presents ...
.. and Holly Jolly Christmas ...
I used Early Espresso and Pool Party for the snowflakes and sentiment and the delicious Gold Satin Ribbon for some festive Christmas elegance. 3 rhinestone (always seem to need that bling!) finished it off. The sentiment was punched out with the 2" Circle Punch and popped up on dimensionals. Speaking of dimensions - I've been using smaller mats on my cards this year. I like the smaller space - less to fill and it gives a clean look to the card. The Espresso mat is sized 5" x 3 3/4" and the white front mat is 4 3/4" x 3 1/2".
That's it for now. Off to work my butt off (in more ways than one!)
Have a stampy day :)

That is such a gorgeous card - simple and elegant. My theme for this year's card is snowflakes so I especially love that part! Thank you for sharing your talents. I am a new subscriber loving all your posts so far!
