A 'Toile Christmas' cardinal!

I love this cardinal!!  This is such a beautiful bundle!  

This is a card I created last night with left over pieces from my October monthly classes.  I made this bird in fall colors for my classes......but decided to see what it would look like as a true cardinal!  I love how it turned out!

I also love the Seasons Wreath 3D Embossing Folder.

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids.  And I burnt the midnight oil again working on my upcoming Holiday Extravaganza event.

This morning Deke is off to chore.  He'll work on the farm all day & take some hogs to the locker this afternoon.  I'm off to Manda's.  I'll take the twins to school & spend my day with Trey & Ainslee again.  Tonight I'll be burning the midnight oil stamping again!

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!

Happy Stamping!
