Plaid Christmas

 
 
Happy Tuesday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Charmed Life Blog. Today was my volunteer day at the pre-school. Everything went well and there were no issues with the kids.
 
They were all very cooperative today and wanted to work on the projects and all the activities we do in the 2 hour class time. It's difficult for this age group of  2 1/2 to 3 1/2 to keep their attention for longer than 10 min when we do an activity. So the time is limited for each activity and they all did so well today.
 
I am going to go back on Thursday and help out again. It's somewhat easier to have 2 helpers plus the teacher in the classroom with 10 kids.
 
Now onto my card for today. I have started working on Christmas cards (just barely). This one was easy to create with using dies and will be easy to re-create. I will probably make at least 4 more of this type. I have the background paper in my stash and with no added bulk it will be an easy one to mail.
 
I made this one for the Virtual Stamp Night Challenge on Splitcoaststampers. Stacy was the hostess and she had a plaid and polka dot challenge.  She issued an extra challenge to make it Christmas so that's the direction I went.
I found the perfect paper in my stash. It is at least 4yrs old.

The paper has plaids and dots right on it. It's from the ProvoCraft -~gingerbread plaid~ collection. I also used some Christmas dies from PaperTreyInk. It's their "in the meadow" collection.

The word "Merry" I die cut in white and blue for a shadow effect. The horse drawn sleigh is cut in blue. My snowy hills are also a PTI die and I added some glitter on the hill top to complete my card. The glitter is also something from my stash I have had for at least 3 yrs and hardly ever use.
 
Well that's my card for today. So until next time........God bless.
