I did it! I made WINTER cards!
It's very rare that I copy another card, but, I was just so taken by this one, that I had to make a slightly modified version of it for my winter cards.
Look at these punches!! SO SO PURDEEEE!!!
I spied 'em at WalMart (we don't have a lot of options here on The Rock; I dream of the day Target might come, but, they tell me it's highly unlikely . . .
) where we stopped on our way home from our Christmas trip, and clutched them all through the store, debating . . . I mean, Christmas was over and I never got my cards for this year done--oh, I had the grandest of plans, but, like the last 2 years, I just never got to the finish line.
Got up to the check-out, and whaddya know--they were 50% off! I about fell down dead! I love unexpected surprises! Oh, Martha will prolly come out with others next year, and retire these, but, I don't care--they're so classic, so sophisticated and I know I'll use 'em GOBS!
And the sentiment from the Peace & Cheer set just complimented the whole design so perfectly . . . 
Now, I guess I better get some (postage) stamps!
I am lovin the Christmas Vacation song, who sings it? I gotta download it.

Oooooh, I love this!!! Why oh why did I pass these up 1/2 price the other day??? I got another snowflake but thought, hmm, when will I use a tiny deer or tree??? Lucky for me, Walmart is only 10 minutes away!!! Happy New Year Julie, all the best to you and your beautiful family!

JULIE!!!!! You've really done it now! I saw those punches a while back -- the deer one was so tempting but I didn't get it -- darn! Now I'll have to track one down + the tree too!
Happy New Year Hugs!

So pretty! I got the same tree half off at my WalMart. They didn't have the deer, but I did get the Christmas Star also.

This is stunning!!! I may have to rethink not buying those little punches...I always pass them up.

EEEP!(think equivalent to the noise of an excited squeal) These are the cutest cards ever! I love how you took an awesome design and made it even better!
