Christmas Card Using Cricut Artbooking and New CTMH Sparkle and Shine Paper

Hello everyone and what a wonderful day it is!  I hope all of you are enjoying the wonderful weather wherever you are.  It is still summer here in sunny California; but we do have cooler nights and mornings.  I love the fall weather. 
 
I have been re-organizing my craft room and hope to have new pictures on my blog sometime in the next week or two.  I now have access to the entire closet and spare bedroom; and what a difference it makes.  I purchased a cheap bookcase for the closet and have already filled it most of it up with papers from my plastic drawers.  It was so hard getting them in and out of it due to its location in my craft room.  Now I have things I rarely need stored there.  I love organizing and the feeling of a clean organized craft room.  I am sure most of you can relate to that.
 
I saw this cute little image at Lacy Sunshine -  Polly Poinsettia Flower Pot Pretties and just had to have it!  It is available through Nov. 9th, 2013 for only $2.00.  I had so much fun coloring her in this little basket of flowers.  This is my second Christmas card of the season and I thought it turned out pretty good.  What a great challenge.  If you purchase your first one or use one of their freebies and enter their challenge; you get the next one free.  A great way to build up your digital stamp collection.
