Merry Christmas to you all! Hope you had a great Christmas Eve with your loved ones and you get to celebrate some more today.

Merry Christmas to all who start the celebrations tonight! I thought I was going for a quick last make before Christmas, but this card took way more time than it should have, and it turned out both painful and joyful. Deciding which products would deserve to be used before next year was already painful enough. While I lost the last bit of my soul (or mojo to be less dramatic) die cutting the kitty and assembling the wreath, the background was my redemption... Full story in this blog! This card was a revelation for me, or a confirmation of how I've been feeling lately about my cardmaking, and maybe I'll share a little more about it when the time is right, but it leaves me full of hope and good resolutions for 2026 Products:  Joyful wreath dies (Concord and 9th) Finger puppet cats die (A pocket full of happiness) Cats and Pugs sentiments and Cheerful kittens (Spellbinders) Lovely layers: Scaredy cat (Honeybee stamps) Herringbone parquet (The Greetery) I started this crafty journe...

Sharing a quick card I made earlier this morning. There is very little time left and I still have a few products I absolutely want to use before I stash them away.
