Happy Monday Everyone!!!! I hope you all had a nice weekend.
Is it just me or is it starting to look a lot like Christmas? I swear it seems the stores get the holidays rolling earlier & earlier every year. 
Maybe it's just me gettin' old. And the pressure feels on this year for some reason. I think it's just me worrying about how we're going to manage and all. I just have to trust that everything will work itself out somehow, right?
Kinda like today's card. I tell you I went back & forth a gazillion times and then I just had to walk away. It seemed like every piece of patterned paper I chose just wasn't the *right* one. So I decided to get out of the house and run some errands and as I was driving the idea of having the sentiment in the form of an ornament hit me. And it seems the rest fell into place.
Christine added 3 more adorable must have Pixies to the line up. Pixie Nora, Pixie Santa Birgitta and Pixie Heidi with an ornament. I started with some Prisma cardstock and patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket's Jolly by Golly line. Added a little stitching and my favorite Cuttlebug embossing folder to the mix too. I couldn't resist using another one of my new favorites - Sparkly Fluff from Taylored Expressions. It's very similar to regular flock, but kicked up about 10 notches because of the added sparkle.
I hope you enjoyed today's post. And a BIG thanks for hanging with me these past few weeks while I wasn't posting much!
You guys are the best-est!!!!

So well done, Tracy! Great use on the CC DP as your background and love your snow mounds! My fav is the sentiment as an ornament...maybe I should go do errands when I'm not feeling creative if my cards can look like yours!!! TFS and don't worry about blogging...life is always more important:) Take care:):)
