Christmas flower

Happy Wednesday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. Lots planned for today. I start my day with a staff meeting at church. Then I have a cooking class planned at the Crate.  It's a local cooking school. They have lunch & learn's every Wednesday. I try and schedule at least 4-5 during the year. It's always such a fun time. The food is delicious and since I go myself, it's a time to meet new people.
The instructors do all the cooking in front of you and when finished it's our lunch.


Our class & menu for today is:


Lattice-Crusted Minestrone Pot Pies
• Arugula and Spinach Salad White Balsamic Vinaigrette and Parmesan Curls
• Chicago Palmer House Brownies.

The card for today is one I did for the Creative Belli Challenge. I am sampling with them again this week. The challenge is anything Christmas. So that can be paper, ribbon, images, any Christmas embellishment.  This challenge blog is encouraging you to use your stash and not go out and buy something new to participate.

My card uses Christmas designer paper from Provo craft. I have had this paper for several years. I like it and have used it on several cards this Christmas.

The stamp is one that I bought 6 months ago at a stamp show. I remember buying it and thought it would be a good image for Christmas. I stamped the image 3 times and then cut out the layers and popped them up. I added some stampendous gold dot sparklers to each flower layer. I have had these for several years as well.

I kept the card to a clean and simple layout since the flower is so big. The artichoke ribbon completed my card.

That completes my card for today. God Bless and I hope you are completing all your Christmas to-do's.
