Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.
We just came back from a trip to CA. Our kids weren't able to make it home for Christmas this year, so we went out to see them. They left their tree and decorations up so our celebration would be festive. It was a wonderful 5 days with them.
They got me such a thoughtful gift this year. They created a photo book of my cards that I sent them over the years. I had no idea that they saved them all. That meant so much to me.
Now onto my card for today. This one I created for my granddaughter. The one we went to visit. Her birthday is on the 17th. I used one of the envelopes from the 2025 Taylored Expressions Advent calendar.
The items we received in the calendar were all packed in these cute snowman envelopes, and they had dates on them. The 17th envelope was a bit wrinkled, so I die cut a stitched circle and die cut the #17.
I cut the envelope down and layered it on white cardstock. Added some striped background designer paper for interest.
I loved the Advent calendar and all the stamping goodies we received. I will definitely subscribe again next year.
There was a stamp and die set included in the calendar because I subscribed early. So I stamped some sentiments and placed them around the snowman. I was pleased with how the card turned out.
Well, that's it for me for this post. So, until next time.....God bless.

Your winter birthday card is so cute, so creative to use an envelope. I'm sure your granddaughter loved it. My grandfather's birthday would have been on the 17th as well. He would have been 117 this year. Your family gave you a lovely heartfelt gift. Hope you have a wonderful year cindys-greencricut
