Secret Santa Swap!
















I'm late, I'm late....well it is a work day at Flourishes even if the Post Office is only going to be open till noon.
I PROMISE to be more organized next year, so don't tell me that once I have only one job I still will not have enough to get everything done that I want...........

Amazingly enough I did get my card done and out early, since Nancy K was MY secret swapper, and she would have known coming from Pensacola it would have been either me or Jan Marie, I signed it with a message.

I like the nontraditional colors with the Poinsettia, who know there may be a pinkish green plant out there before long, after all we now have curly leaf poinsettias, red and white, pink and white..........I embossed in white then used Twinkling H2O's to color the blossom and leaves. I attached to white paper that had been dry embossed with the dotted Swiss Cuttle Bug folder and cut using curved rectangles. The DP is Basic Grey Wassail , sentiment is from the Christmas set Rejoice. I finished off with a red on red ribbon.

Here is the card I received from Becca, and I did not do justice to her creation with my picture. She has all the details so check it out on how Becca made her card.

And check out Flourishes newsletter to see what everyone else has done.
