OUR CHARITY:

Reading is Fundamental is the charity I have chosen to sponsor this season.  As you all know I am an avid reader and it amongst my very favorite things to do in my spare time.  I truly believe that literacy and reading opens up many doors in life for everyone.  Not only can you find joy in books but it opens your eyes to other cultures, places and people that is so worthwhile.  And just the fact that a huge part of life involves being able to read--to get through school, get a great job and navigate through life.  For me teaching children to read early on in life is a MUST yet so many children are not provided with the basic materials to learn to read.  So this charity is a non-profit that provides books to children and opportunities to bring literacy into areas that need it!

Click here to donate, but we would really love it if you would come and join us with a beautiful holiday card.

I knew what I was going to do as soon as Suzanne told us the challenge....

 

 My card is done with "Snowy with a snowflake" and the pine trees both are stamps from Magnolia-licious, I also used the fence doo-hickey die.  I used the snowflakes embossing folder and then went over it with Antique Linen distress ink.  The big gold snowflake under the sentiment is a "Whimsy die"  I have added stickles to the trees and the snowflake for bling.

Here is a side view of my card.

I had so much fun making this card for my DIL to give my son for his birthday it is so him LOL !   These cute little images are from Mo's Digital Pencil...I made this an easel card one of my favorite types of card.....this is one of the few cards for a man I have done that I think it turned out pretty good !

 My image is printed on Cryogen white and colored with copics.  I computer generated the sentiments.  DP's are just stuff I had laying around and then I use the MS border and corner punch to accent it.
