Be mine - Card Patterns #96

What a great day it has been - having an extra day off after the holidays has been truly wonderful!  I actually have been wondering when the next holiday is that we will have another day off.  Depressing thought!

This card was designed off of this week's sketch at Card Patterns.  I haven't had a chance to play along for awhile, and I decided to hop on over today and check out this week's sketch.  So happy that I did - great sketch! :)

DP's are from my stash, paper flower from Michaels,diecut, twine and stamped sentiment from PTI, rhinestone flourish from Prima, heart charm from Making Memories, misc. velvet leaves and vintage lace.

Off to post my card .............have a great evening!  Cathy xx :)

Christmas - WMSC #27

Happy Saturday! Do you have all your Christmas shopping done yet? My DH and I went Christmas shopping yesterday, and we ran into my Grandson and his Mommy. He will be 11 months old in a week, and his big eyes were taking in all the lights and decorations. His new favorite word is "Wow" and he kept saying it over and over. We all made a stop to see Santa and he just kept looking at him with the cutest look on his face. Christmas has an all new meaning this year with a little one in the family! :)
