FMS604 Warm Wishes

Hi there, everyone!  Well, it is rainy and windy here on the east coast today; a perfect day to stay inside and.....CLEAN!  Well, and stamp too!  A wee bit of both! I really wanted to play with the FMS sketch this week:

There were lots of pretty leafy cards in the gallery, but I wanted to do something else, so I opted for a warm cup of cocoa and a Christmas card!

I started with a panel of Crumb Cake on which I used a Knit stencil from The Greetery, which fulfills the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge:

then added some snowflakes and a cup of cocoa and peppermint stick stirrers:

All the images were from some retired sets I haven't used in a while, so it was fun to get them inky!  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp; I added a white border and mounted everything on a Emerald Envy square card measuring 4 1/4".  I added a Merry Christmas to the inside and added it to my Christmas card stash!  Thanks for visiting today!

We went to the Solanco (Southern Lancaster County) fair last night to see the exhibits, look at the craft and veggie submissions and check to see if my Christmas Advent Calendar cross stitch won anything!  Check! A blue ribbon!  The picture is hard to see because they cover all the projects with plastic but hopefully you can get the general idea:

Here's the jumbo pumpkin:

This little wagon of gourds won Best of Show:

And it was hard to choose a favorite flower but I thought this yellow rose was pretty:

So much to look at, but I only got a few pictures!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
