Ok - this will be a short post as I am finishing up Christmas gifts for school.  However  - I just have to say this nearly killed me to not run ribbon or something across the middle of this card.  But since I do that EVERY time, I made myself resist.  But it was SO hard!!!

    ***giggling over the ribbon — or rather the lack thereof***
    (BTW … I do understand)
    And it’s a lovely creation indeed! Great colors!

    What a wonderful combination! the little embossed birds look like they are hidden behind the cattails….the layering gives movement into the depths of the cattails…who knows what else is in there!

    That background is perfect for that image. I love this CAS design.

    I love ribbon too, but this is simply beautiful JUST as it is, Emily! The nice thing about no ribbon is that it opens the option of sending this to a guy who likes things CAS. No frills! ;)
