That's right folks! My friend had the nerve to be born a few days before Christmas, and this just totally wreaks havoc on my card-making schedule. Every year, the glee of finishing and mailing my Christmas cards is followed by panic upon realizing I have so little time to get a card in the mail for my friend. But she is the best and never seems to mind that my card is late. Here is the card that I made for her this year:
I had the idea of using my flower punches to punch out some flowers, but I wanted the flowers to have some OOMPH...so I stamped a sample of patterns from my PTI collection. Can you identify which images come from which sets? Here's a hint, the patterns are from Fall Elegance, Text Boxed, and Polka Dot Basics. The flourish is from Fancy Flourishes--this was stamped in Versa Mark and then I rubbed some shimmery lavender chalk over it. On everything else I used Rich Razzleberry from SU!. The paper is PTI's white cardstock, but the purple shades are pale plum and rich razzleberry from SU!. Here's a closeup of the popped-up flowers and the shimmery flourish:

Cute! I know your friend will like it.
Lovely card - she should love it!
I know exactly what you mean, I am surrounded by people with December birthdays! I still have to make a card for my hubby who's bday is the 29th. (I just finished the card for my brother with a birthday on the 23rd)
Suzanne! You are the best, I love the card it is beautiful! I am very lucky.
