Sending Christmas Cheer

Hello Blogger friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.

Wow it's been a couple of weeks since I have posted here on my Blog. I have been creating Christmas cards and just been busy with decorating my home. 

And I also had some unexpected dental surgery and that took me out of the loop for a few days. I had to have a dental implant removed that was in place for 9 years because of some bone loss in that area. It caused the metal post to come loss. 

They sedated me to take it out then gave me some pain medication. I don't deal well with either of these. It just takes me some time to get it out of my system. The removal was far more painful than when I had it implanted. Go figure!

Well anyway that's my story. Now onto my card for today. This one I created for the color challenge #1027 on Splitcoaststampers.  I was the hostess, and I chose garden green, cherry cobbler and coastal cabana for the color trio. Optional was to use designer paper. And I said you could get creative with the optional item.

For my card I used the contents from the Stampin' Up "Nests of Christmas" Paper Pumpkin kit and made an alternative card instead of following the kit directions.

The foiled arch and designer paper are from the kit. The arch is a cutout from the card base. The arch is in shaded spruce, and I did say you could get creative with the designer paper option. The cardinal and greenery are from the kit.

My stamped sentiment is from a Hero Arts set- Christmas Messages. 

Well, that's it for me for this post. So until next time.....God bless.
