My card is for the Friends of Speedy TV challenge, week 12. We are asking for CAS cards this time and mine turned out to be a Christmas card. I think I'm finished with all my Christmas cards for this year. Of course, one may pop up here and there...just don't know.
I'm using an image from Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company called Greetings of the Season, mini stamp set.
I love those pine cones and branches for Christmas or on a winter card. I stamped, colored, and then embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. I think it looks a bit like snow coming down.
See the rest of my recipe below:

Gorgeous! That's such a pretty image and so beautifully coloured, it really pops off the page!
I think I have only 1 gift left to get and 2 cards to make and that's me done too, then we get to sit down, turn the heat on and watch loads of wee movies! (...well that's the plan anyway LOL!)

What fun ribbon with the reindeer on it!! Love that EF and the pine cones are wonderful! Glad you got the shopping all taken care of. We were doing warp speed through yesterday and today was the first day I didn't have to set an alarm and gleefully slept until 8:30 - happy sigh!! Now on to cleaning the house and finishing up a bit of baking and wrapping.
Wow, what a perfect clean and simple card! I love the pine cone as a focal image here. Gorgeous!
