Shepherds' Delight
Sweet Sketch 78
Sponsor: Di's Digi Downloads
Wow, can you believe that Christmas is just around the corner! This year has flown by for me and I think I am not ready for Christmas. It feels like it should be in about 6 more months! Remember when you were a kid and the days of the year passed so slowly....seemed like it was forever before Christmas arrived!
Well, I have been trying to get in the spirit with my Christmas cards! I do have to say that it does help. I loved this image from Di's Digi Downloads...such a precious image of the shepherds in their fields watching their flocks and viewing that bright star that foretold of the birth of Christ! It is called Shepherds' Delight.
Oh, I have been wanting to use my Ribbon Tags and was happy when Nancy used her's a few weeks ago with the ribbon ends instead of running the ribbon across the card! Thanks, Nancy!
It makes a great sentiment!

Hi Judi, I just love your card, Nancy has said it, it's adorable. I too had a hard time choosing so glad we only had one double up of images and both cards look so different I had to look at them twice.
ReplyDeleteI adore you design papers they are just perfect with your coloured image. Great job you can join us next week ha ha.... if you've got time.
I laughed what you said about being a child and Christmas came around so slowly and now it's so quick. When I was young I would say to Mum I can't wait for Christmas and my Birthday both being close together and she would say don't wish your life away, life is too short. Now I'm my age I can understand what she meant as you get older time seems to go so much faster. I also think that our lives are more demanding now days.

LOVE this! I am a huge fan of gingham and I just love the paper and ribbon - oh so pretty! I don't know - the year went slowly for me and I just can't WAIT for Christmas. I am like a big kid though - come on over on Saturday and we can decorate the tree together. Maybe that will get you more into the Christmas spirit ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week ~

Judi I love this Christmas card. What a perfect job of coloring and picking up the colors from the DP. So wonderfully coordinated. The DP is great-very nice paper. And I too love the ribbon end technique with that Spellbinders label-I made note of that when Nancy showed it a couple weeks ago. Gosh, time does go so quickly the older we get. With my kids, I wish it moved more slowly so I get the most of their younger years. Your new blog look is so pretty-I love the colors-so fresh and vibrant. Have a great week!
