Wishing You!

Good evening (although, if you are getting this by email, it will be Monday morning!)  I hope you've all had a productive weekend.  I've been busy all weekend long, but I have much to show for my "busy-ness"!  The trees are decorated, candy is finished, the Christmas gifts to be shipped are wrapped and ready to be picked up tomorrow, chocolate chip cookies baked, and the house cleaned.  Oh yeah, and shopping, too!  And I still had time for a little stamping!  I'm really in the Christmas spirit now, and today's quick and easy card reflects my mood!

Best of Shelli!

When my Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack came a couple weeks ago, I fell in love with the Crumb Cake dotted paper.  It looks so elegant to me.  I set a piece on my work table and every couple days I would try to decide which stamp to pair with that paper.  Last night it came to me...the medallion from the Best of Shelli! set.  So, here's my card.....what do you think? 

Here is the supply list for this card:

Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack #132181
