"Angels we have heard on high" . . . la la la . . .

Hello my sweet sugarplums!! As I write this post, I am listening to Christmas music! Yep . . . definitely getting into the Christmas/Winter Holiday spirit early this year! Maybe because Thanksgiving here in the U.S.A. is so early! Whatever the reason, I've been jammin' to Christmas tunes all weekend!! hehe!! Today I have another fun new Sugar Nellie DT project to share with you . . . and, as luck would have it, this one's a Christmas Card!!
This cutie is "Rosie"  . . . and she's from the "Fairy Glen" collection of Sugar Nellie stamps. This stamp isn't specifically a Christmas stamp . . . it can be used for just about ANY occasion . . . but I think it works splendidly for a Christmas card, don't you agree?  You can find "Rosie" HERE at Funky Kits.
 
Oh, oh, oh . . . that reminds me . . . In addition to purchasing Sugar Nellie stamps at Funky Kits in Scotland, there's a new Sugar Nellie online store based in the U.S.A. Check it out HERE. Okey dokey . . . back to my little "masterpiece" . . . here's an extreme "close-up" . . .
Isn't Rosie just as cute as can be? And what a DREAM to color! Here's a sort of "side" view . . .

A peek at the inside . . . which includes a pocket for a gift card (requested by my sister) . . .
And, last but not least . . .
So . . . ho, ho, ho . . . one more Sugar Nellie Christmas Card to add to my ever-growing pile of Christmas cards!! Ohhhhhh . . . I almost forgot . . . I've decided to enter my card into this fortnight's Sugar Bowl Challenge where Maria Therese has created a fabulous sketch. There's also an optional theme of "Sparkle & Shine" . . . and I am guessing Mikimoto Pearls qualify, right? hehe! If not . . . then the 14 carat gold corner should count!!? Oh, alright . . . what about the Stckles? They sparkle and shine!!
 
OK . . . enough silliness!! Thanks so much for stopping by!! I love having you visit!! Hugs!! And, for those of you in America celebrating Thanksgiving this week . . . "Happy Turkey Day!"
