Noel Christmas Card

 
 
This was a quick card to do since I had prepared the Noel by Dream Weaver earlier.  I had the frame and flowers already cut out too.  I believe we all need quick and easy right now!
 
I popped up the Spellbinder frame on the black suede (velvet) paper and also popped up the Noel.
Last month, my friend Margaret sent me a nice package of Dream Weaver Stencils to try and I fell in love with them and the process she taught me.  So, I place an order for several of the Dream Weaver Stencils.
 
First, I taped down the stencil with painter's tape, used Wendy Vecchi' White Paste and spread it across the stencil making sure to keep it on the stencil.  Then I carefully removed the tape and stencil and applied Art Glitter over it.  I just can't capture the sparkling beauty with my poor photography skills. please use your imagination.
 
I took the picture without the flower on the card and then added it.  Which is your favorite?
Sometimes I love plain and simple, but I am anxious to know your thoughts.
 
Terri is thinking about adding the Dream Weaver Stencils to her line.  Shoot her a quick email
at myjoansgardens@yahoo.com if you think you would be interested in her doing so.
 
My email is still the same.  jfricker@fourway.net

Last Christmas

This picture was taken last Christmas.   It will be fun to see this year's picture comparison.
Kara is standing (she has 4 children), Kelsey is sitting and she now  has 4 boys and Lori our daughter is on the left.  She is the mother of Kara, Kelsey, Nathan and has adopted 4 children.  They are in the process of adopting 4 more.
I kid Lori all the time about how I had ONE daughter and now we have 19 children to love, plus spouses.  I am truly blessed!
