Sending Christmas Cheer and Cooler temps!

Oh it is a glorious day here today! We had a wee tiny cool front come through late yesterday and our temperatures are only in the 70's today. I know that's not quite fall weather, but it's a refreshing change from the 90's.




This is my little monochromatic Christmas card I made last night. My Mom saw it today and she said it was real nice, but why didn't it have some red in it. haha! I told her it was for a challenge and I could only use green and white. Anyway, it was fun to do, and I rarely do anything, okay I never do anything, with just one color. I'm all about the colors. The more the better, so this was a bit of a stretch for me, but I do like it! I glued the pine bough die down directly onto the cardstock, but I used foam tape to pop everything else out. 

Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday! 
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Kay :)

    Fantastic card, Kay. You did only two colors extremely well. That designer's eye is working really well. Glad it cooled down for you. Hope it's the beginning of more fall like weather for you! Enjoy your weekend.
