Hi Stampers:

 Got lots  to share today sorry for the longer than normal post ..

I made this card last night since I had  some  brushed  cooper card stock left over  from  the previous retirement  and  thought it  would be fun to use  it  for a Christmas  card ~ this is what I came  up with .  I used the Season of Joy  stamp set #110384 for all the images  on my  card  .

I used  Sage shadow  card stock # 101563 and  also the  Sage shadow classic ink # 102532 for my  tree BUT  I think all the  glitter  drowns  out the  color Hee! Hee!  Just love all the  sparkle and shine on  this card .. For the base of my card I used Bravo Burgundy card stock #1105123

I also added some  Copper  Embossing  and  Copper brads all of  which  were from the 2006/2007  catalog  and have been retired . ( sorry ) 

Measurements  for card are as follows :

Base= 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

Brushed  copper = 2 1/4 "X 4 1/4"

Sage Shadow =2" X 4"

Brushed copper= 2 1/4" X 3 1/4"

Whisper white = 2" X 3"

Update on my Moms wrist: No photos to share since all they did was take a X -ray  with her cast on, They knew right away  they wouldn't be removing it,  Since  It was clear from X ray   she  needed  surgery  which  she goes in today at 1:45 pm to put a plate in her wrist  to stabilize  her wrist bone  which  is off center  and will continue to move  & get worse over time  and it would  soon   collapse . Surgery is about 1 hour  and  is out patient ~ Is that amazing or what ? Doc said after  Surgery  she will wear  a smaller cast  for only  2 weeks  then  she will need  Physical Therapy for a awhile..

Thank you  all for  your prayers .

Have a Wonderful  Wednesday  Stampers
