Have you ever had the perfect card in your head and when you went to make it, it wasn't at all what you thought it was going to be? C'mon I know you have. I do it all the time. Well, I just got my paper order in so I could start my Christmas cards. I know I am so late. Anyway, I ordered two packs of almost amethyst and some white grosgrain that I was going to dye amethyst for my Christmas cards. So I sit down tonight and make the perfect card. WRONG!!! It didn't look at all what I wanted. So I tried one with close to cocoa, regal rose, and amethyst. Cute, but not what I wanted. Then I tried, amethyst and lovely lilac. That was a bust too. I was bound and determined to use the amethyst. Seeing how I now have three and a half packs of it. But I can't do it. Nothing was looking good. Maybe because there was to much pressure, maybe I was trying too hard. I don't know. So I changed gears and came up with this. Burgundy and chocolate chip. I love it, however, I don't have a full pack of Burgundy. I think I can make about 20 cards. So I will have to find something else. Maybe I can work something out with the amethyst, and it will cooperate enought to make me a cute card.

Rochelle,
What a beautiful card. I used this same set for my cards. Wish I had seen this first because I would have used a brad in the middle of my snowflakes too. Oh well, too late now!
Very Very nice.....Love it!! Your cards always inspire me.
