One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Festive Friday # 35

I pulled out my distress inks and watercolor brush to make my own plaid Christmas wrap.  I embossed the "string" from PTI No Strings Attached and added a tag.
 If you want to get a jump start on your Christmas cards, you can go to Festive Friday and play along.
We are having another HOT day here in Oregon,
this seems more like August than July!
Love the sun, though!
 
Heart Hugs,
Colleen

I wish I had your sure hand of placing elements... another great one, just as the one below! You really know how to put a photo inspiration into a card!
Weather here is dreadful, rain rain rain... but tomorrow there will be more sun hopefully.

Love your home-made plaid - great idea to add the aqua in - it makes it feel very modern! So glad you joined us at Festive Friday!

I'm on my phone, Colleen and I just don't know if that comment went through! I love your card... It's a great fit for the inspiration! LOVE your pretty plaid and the way you tied it up with the 'no strings' set. Thanks so much for creating with us again at Festive Friday!
