Somebody forgot to tell me that it’s already November 17th. That means it’s time for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz…. and I totally forgot about it.
Lucky for me, I have a card that I just created, and it happens to fit this month’s theme: Christmas!!!
How could I possibly not participate in a Christmas Waltz?!
I made this card for my friend’s baby boy W, who is my adopted nephew. I love him to bits, and knew right away I wanted to use the “Favourite Gingerbread Boy” stamp on his card.
I actually CASE-d myself and used the same layout and general design of the cards I made for my girls last year – only I like this one better.
Alright, I won’t keep you, since you have lots of Waltzing to do… I am so glad I managed to squeak this one in (hardy-har)!
