Good Friday morning. I am so happy and honored to announce that I am being introduced today, along with Heather Campbell as a new member of the CLASSroom design team. I was thrilled to be invited to join Ellen and her creative designers, Julie Ebersole, Sharon Harnist and Julia Stainton. I have been inspired by them all for years.
If you would like to get all the details about my Christmas scene and see some step by step photos of how I mounted the staircase and colored my kitties then come join me in the CLASSroom. Before you go be sure and leave a comment on my blog to qualify for a $25 store credit. You will be happy to know there is another opportunity to win a $25 store credit in the CLASSoom.
Love this card...so festive and the kitty cats are right up my alley.

What a beautiful card! I enjoyed reading how you created the wreath.

Love the card. I especially like the lantern on the wall. I wasn't sure how those would be used. I'd love to see more ideas with the lanterns - maybe using them as lampposts in an outdoor scene. Thanks again for all your great ideas and tips.
