Christmas Card Using CTMH Sparkle and Shine Paper and Cricut AP Cartridge

DS4J Monthly Christmas Challenge - FREE Digi each month when you use the previous image.  

Hello Bloggers.  I hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful summer.  My brother in law, Darrell, finished all his chemo and stem cell transplant; and hopefully on the road to recovery.  His Cat Scan came back clear of cancer yesterday!  We are so excited.  He has a long way to go; in order to build his strength back up and still needs everyone's prayers.  We are hoping they will get to go home in a day or two.  His white count has started climbing back up; but still some other issues with not being able to keep down his food.  My sister Becky has managed to work on her regular job; via the computer; but it has been tough for her living at the hospital with him.  They had to go to Indianapolis to get the treatments; and they live in MO.  They said to Thank everyone for your prayers.  I thank you as well.  Darrell is a precious person in so many people's lives and we want him to heal and feel better.  He is a blessing to all of us who know him.

I am back again with another Christmas card using a fabulous DS4J image that I received FREE with their monthly Christmas Challenge.  This is so much fun; and I am getting my Christmas cards created early this year by participating every month.  Join in the fun and check it out!  Email Desire; as stated on the instructions.  I had so much fun creating this card!  It is one of my favorites.  June is DS4J "Santa's Letter".  

I am entering this card in Path of Positivity Challenge - Happiness.  Christmas is a time of celebration; not only for Christ's birth; but for an opportunity to celebrate it by giving to others. Giving gifts puts a smile on everyone's face; but especially on the children's faces when they open their gifts.  It is also a time to give to others who are less fortunate than we are; so give to those in need; not just at Christmas; but all year long.  It doesn't have to be money.  It can be a gift of your time, your love, helping someone fix something; or just listening to someone you love talk about their problems.  A random act of kindness makes everyone happy; including the person who is doing it.
