Hello! Finally I made another Christmas card. I am way behind with my plan (make one every week), but as long as I don't fall off the wagon totally, I am in a good shape...
So yeh... I know... you are all ready for Spring... but we still have snow on the ground... so might as well pretend that it's Christmas! LOL! Not really...
I had so much fun making this card. I love the different elements...
I have some pictures of the steps of making this card:

Your card is absolutely gorgeous. I love that you are doing your Christmas cards now. When the season comes again you will be ahead of all that will need to be done. :) I love the way that you use the thread. I would love to know how you do that.

PS. I'm glad that it is not the Christmas season. :)
