I love a versatile stamp set and Papertrey’s A Wreath for All Seasons fits the bill. I needed two birthday cards for friends whose birthdays are the end of this month. Although the recipients are over thirty years apart in age I think the card works for both of them.
Cardstock: Rustic White (Papertrey); Patterned paper: Memory Box; Stamps: A Wreath for All Seasons and Birthday Bash Sentiments (Papertrey); Red Pearls (A Muse Creative Candy); Distress inks (Tim Holtz)
The To-Do list is being whittled down. The last of the Christmas cards went in the mail this morning on our way to church, and most of the cookies are baked and ready to be put on the cookie trays to be delivered on Wednesday and Thursday. I still need to wrap gifts, and finish making four gifts. Then I’m in pretty good shape.
We worshiped today in our renovated/restored sanctuary for the first time since February. I have deliberately not gone on any of the construction tours and was simply awed by the beautiful work. Our church was already beautiful, but old, and in need of handicap access, improved choir space, and a new kitchen. Although it will be March before everything is complete for the most part, we are home. I wish I had photos to share. Perhaps I can get some from our church website or link you to them once they’ve been posted. It was quite a day of celebration.
Hope you are doing well with holiday preparations as well!
Karen the card will work for either age – it is beautiful 🙂
The card is beautiful and anyone would love to receive it. I’m glad you’re feeling on the right path, I’m getting there but still have a number of presents to wrap.
A gorgeous card,Karen.
I still have lots of baking to do….but apart from that….I think I’m ready for the big day!
Mailing my cards today (or at least most of them). Shopping done and presents wrapped. This week is mainly for visiting and travel.

Beautiful, beautiful card – yes, it would work for any age! And good for you keeping on top of your To-Do list 🙂 I’m getting there with mine, but need to tick a few more things off yet!
PS I’d love to see pics of your church some time if possible 🙂
Beautiful card Karen and I would love to see piccies of your church at some point if that were possible. We went to a Carol Concert on Sunday at our brand new Scout hut that has been needing to be rebuilt for the past 15 years and finally happened this year. It was such a wonderful evening and an exceedingly happy one for all the Scouts (my son is a young leader with them and has been going there for 15 years).
oh, wow! Karen, this is just so beautiful!! I love the wreath with the berries and the paper you used is perfect.
Merry Christmas, Karen!
A beautiful card Karen, I’ve decided I am going to try and make more cards this year 🙂
