Hooray for Friday!
Even an old retiree like me looks forward to the weekends!
lol...(get to see my handsome man a bit more :)
I have the sweetest card to share today. I tried very hard to keep this one clean and simple, as I have OODLES of deadlines to meet between now and Monday...
Today's image is a C.C. Designs Swiss Pixie digi image from their October 2011 release. It's called, "Baby Jesus & Angel" from All That Scraps.

The minute I saw this sweet little angel, I knew I'd be buying her! And how fitting it is that I'm posting this card today, as it is "set up the Nativity Scene on the fireplace mantel" day at our humble abode! The Nativity is always the first Christmas decoration to go up, followed by the tree, and then 'everything else'.
I've entered very few challenges in the past few months, SO...

Just For Fun: Winter
Scrapbook Sisters: Christmas
Craft Your Passion: Tis the Season

Thanks so much for stopping by!
