Every year I say that I'm going to start Christmas designs early and work on stock all year round. And every year I wait until November and go crazy working on holiday cards. This year I've made myself a list of themes/ideas to mix things up on a monthly basis. And one thing I haven't done this month was come up with a Christmas design. Now I can check that one off my list too.
I didn't get a chance to use this fun tree stamp from Stamping Bella last year so in the spirit of the new year I went with a new holiday stamp! The tree is colored with prismacolor markers, a sakura glitter pen for the star and a sakura glaze pen for the ornaments. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
My organization kick has stalled a bit. But after seeing this post on Nichole Heady's blog, I've been inspired to tackle my ribbon. I have two baskets full of unraveled and tangled ribbon so it really needs some work. I think that's the organizational plan for the week. If I do a little each day, I may not burn myself out!
It's a great card! and wow! you are super organised!

It's good to see someone on the ball and getting a jump start on next Christmas. I like the glittery star. :0)

Wow - great job on getting a jump on next year! I love that tree and your card is beautiful. I hear you on the organization, I'm still pondering my ribbon solution. Not sure if the clothes pins are my solution or not.
