Christmas in July!

Card-making is so much fun when papers and stamps work together to form a cohesive theme or to tell a particular story.  Today's card uses two paper pads and one stamp set to set the scene for the beloved, familiar and heart-warming "T'was the Night Before Christmas." 

The idea for this card initially started with a leftover 4.25 x 9 inch scrap of white card stock (scored at 5.5) and a glance at our stockings/mittens bundle.  It was almost fully formed before I even made it to my desk.  This was one of those cards that practically made itself it was so quick and easy!  

The feeling brought forth by this stanza and these images is one of "All hearts come home for Christmas," the warmth of the holiday spirit, of faith, family, and friends.  So many wonderful, precious memories of Christmases past along with happiness and hope for the Christmases yet to come.
