Oh Holy Night…

I hope you all can get to your Church’s Christmas Eve Service!

It is a great reminder as to what the Season is all about.

Jesus is the reason for the season, not Santa.

After all, it is the Birth of THE Savior that we celebrate!

Just like you and I have Birthdays we still celebrate,

some of us more than others, we celebrate Jesus’ Birthday.

No one really knows the day he was born…

…or the time of year…

…I’ve heard maybe in July, but the Roman Catholic Church changed

the time to December, to give the cold winter month, something to celebrate!

It’s fine…because, I celebrate Jesus everyday!

I want to wish you ALL a very

Merry Christmas!

 

Until the next Post…Blessings and the Hope of Christmas, to you ALL!

I decided to use all the elements and make a Masculine Birthday Card, instead!

 

Here is the Card!

100_6938

I used the Soft Sea Foam panel and greeting label, and the Oval Frame from the kit.

I used the Rustic Retreat Stamp Set and colored in with the Stampin’ Blends!

I did add the sponged in sun to the picture (it isn’t on the stamp set)

 

Here is the inside of the Card!

100_6939

I added the background layers to inside of the card!

I die cut a scalloped oval and stamped on it and added!
