Sparkle and Shine...

 
Hi there!
 
Hope your week is going well!  I'm enjoying my day off from work and decided to finish up some Christmas cards that I made for the volunteers at my work.  They are a dedicated bunch of sweethearts that do many things such as filing, decorating the office each season, transporting patients, etc.  We could not survive without them!  We give them a gift card and a handmade card each year to show our appreciation.  I made up twelve cards for each volunteer as seen below...
 
 
I used the same design, but with different papers.  All papers except for the white card base(PTI) is from SU.  The sentiment and sweet deer with coordinating dies are from Mama Elephant.  The die used for the snow is from Paper Sweeties Thanks Snow Much.  I applied stickles from Tim Holtz to the trees and snow.  Pearl cotton from Jo-Ann Fabrics tied around the deer for little scares.  Here is a peek of the inside...
 
 
 


Thanks for taking a peek today!  Take care and have a great rest of the week! 

Hugs,
Maria
