Peace..Love..Joy

Feeling somewhat disillusioned here today, as a result of some commentaries that I read, so I decided to make a Christmas card.  Perhaps a Christmas message is in order.....and goodwill to all.....


I've had this image coloured for a while now, and it's a freebie that can still be found at the Scrapbook Stamp Society.  It is coloured with copics and cut out using the 'out of the box technique'.

I've played with this lovely sketch too....something I'm not very good at, but it did go together nicely.  When I take time to craft, I generally just go wherever it takes me....kind of a free spirit!

The pretty papers are from the MME 'Tis the Season collection, and I've dressed the card up with some relaxing doodling...using gold pen.

It will soon be the weekend, and I'll be going to Toronto to see CATS with my daughter.  Something to look forward to, and I hope your weekend will be good too!
