Cardz Tv Card Challenge Winter or Christmas Card

It has been a little while since I have created anything, and boy does it feel good to get crafty.

Kinda hard to craft with a broken arm(shoulder).

This challenge for Cardz Tv is to create a card for winter or christmas. I decided to make one for Christmas. I am feeling really into the season. 

I got all my christmas shopping for my kids done. I feel bad that most of my cards this year wont be hand made but since I have very little time to get cards made and with last month being non crafty sometimes you got to do what you got to do. 

So here is my first card that I made in over a month. 

I used black,white, real red and old olive card stock and the real red and old olive ink colors from stampin up. 

The sentiment is from Cardz Tv Stamps and is one of the new stamps set.

I just got that one in the mail and had to use it right away. 

Thank you for stopping by and please head over to Cardz Tv and take this card challenge with us. 

Until Next Time
