Money Wreath for the loved one who has it all

The card features the retiring Stampin' Up Light Me Home stamp set for the house and walkway. Colored with Stampin' Write Markers.

I noticed I folded my "Bendi" differently than Janette's original lol.

For unto us a child is born

Jesus is the reason for the season! The past few nights the phenomena of the "Christmas Star" has appeared in the sky. It happened while Jupiter and Saturn converged in the "great conjunction". It won't happen again for another 800 years. I was only able to witness it for a few minutes before it was covered by clouds, but it was still a special sight to see. I'm reminded of the 3 wise men who followed a star (maybe this same conjunction, or similar) and found the baby Jesus in the manger. This beautiful card recreating the scene features the Stampin' Up Peaceful Nativity Bundle. Like the Christmas Star, this bundle is only here for a short time. It's on the retiring list and I'll be sad to see it go. Designed by Graciela Carranza
