                                                Christmas Joy for All

No matter how busy my life gets, or distractions that clamor for my attention, or work, or life in general, there is one constant that gives true meaning to all that goes on...it's found in the Creator, and His only Begotten Son Jesus. So, remembering His precious gift of Life and Love brings me back into focus.  Jesus IS the meaning of Christmas. This Christmas I dedicated my card to Him.

Start with a versatile Poinsetta Bloom stamp and die (from Memory Box ) to make multiple flowers. Three to four flowers were stamped (bronze/gold ink) on green, red and cream pearlized paper (emboss this one). Over-lap the blooms to expose each color, then fasten with a flower shaped brad in red or green.

A Jesus is the Reason for the Season stamp used  the same ink and embossing powder, decorated with bronze brads, and placed on red paper. Sheer cream colored ribbon added the final touch,  (a decorative corner punch for extra contrast is an alternative).

A fun family picture was mounted on the inside to personalize our Christmas greeting. Walmart has an easy & inexpensive program to add text & boarders to photos. A magnetic strip was glued to the backside of the picture. I love putting pictures on the refrigerator... and I love CHRISTMAS.

May all our family and friends enjoy Jesus this year!
