Yes I know, Christmas is a long ways away. But, since waking up to a couple inches of snow just this last Sunday. I thought it would be fitting to share this Holiday creation with you...

This card was created for one of the last
Paper Crafts Magazine calls, but never got picked up. So why not share, it's always a good idea to get a head start on the season. My inspiration for this card
actually came from a pair of my favorite Christmas socks. They were made of the exact argyle pattern I created here on the card (using
A Little Argyle by
Lisa Johnson). The layout was easy, it's the same layout as the one used for the card on
this post.

Created the pattern by stamping the solid argyle pattern block in Pure Poppy, used the single diamond to randomly stamp the Sweet Blush, Spring Rain & Spring Moss and then topped it off with the black
linear argyle pattern block. Stamped the tree and sentiment from
Winter Swirls onto a punched circle and embellish with a few True Black buttons.
Hope you enjoyed a little Christmas cheer today! Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful Tuesday!
