Believe in the Magic: PDCC #58 and WMSC #26

Hi everyone! I have been posting very infrequently lately. Like many of you, holiday plans have been taking precedence. I still have many Christmas cards and other items to make so today's card can go in my stash! When I recently ordered some PTI dies I decided to add on the Believe set. It has been on my wish list for ages and when I saw the recent design team posts, it reminded me that I needed to add it to my Christmas supplies. The sketch is this week's WMSC design. And I used the sentiment from 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' set that I just received in my WMS order. Isn't the font awesome! I had never made a circle card before so this was a fun thing to try. And the colors work perfectly for the current PDCC.

Hope everyone is doing well. To the PTI Peeps-I have been checking blogs even when I couldn't leave comments. I always enjoy the fantastic inspiration and please know I am thinking of you all!

Have a wonderful week.  
Thanks for stopping by,
Sharron

Oh my goodness Sharron, this is really FABULOUS! Love the Santa and love the embossing! I want that stamp set so badly, I love how the PTI DT showcased it last week! But with the Dec. peeks calling my name I fear it'll have to wait until next Christmas lol ;)
