Happy Saturday!!!! Put on your sunglasses because this post shines and sparkles!!!!!!!!!

With Christmas quickly approaching, the last challenge for 2011 at Let's Ink It Up is Christmas projects.  I had so much fun with this card ladies!! If only the picture would do it justice. I had glitter on me for days Ha! Ha!
