Christmas is not Christmas without the Poinsettia.  My mother must have had over eight Poinsettia all through the house. So that is why I love the Poinsettia for the holidays.  In case you are wondering, I will have them all over the house too. The flower is so easy to create with the Flower Builder Punch. Watch the video and learn how you too can create a beautiful flower.

What goes with Santa’s sleigh and packages?  Bows.  Instead of bowing the packages, I bowed the sleigh and the trees.  Add a touch white ink and you have the effects of snow. The add a Wink of Stella to make them glimmer.  So here is a perfect winter scene.  Hopefully, this will help brighten Christmas spirits as you continue your shopping and fill your sleigh.  Don’t forget today is Stampin’ Up! last day of the Online Extravaganza Sale.  Special prices were posted for the sale today .  Just click here to see what is on sale  https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/Default.aspx

I have a great simple card using Washi tape,   but before I do it I need to explain something.  Some of you saw yesterday’s post and then it disappeared.  About 4 o’clock the serve went down and did not reappear until after 10 o’clock last night.  Anything I did not my blog between Sunday and up to the 4 o’clock time was gone and could not be recovered.  So I am having to retype yesterday’s blog.  I like everyone else, I have a lot going on.  So the newsletter may go out today or tomorrow.  You will still receive the Twelve Weeks of Christmas on Wednesday.  There will be no blog post on Wednesday.  The blog post will resume on Monday.
