I am a bit behind with visiting as well as posting... Life has got a bit hectic ever since Aleeza's nanny left some weeks ago but I guess there are always pros and cons to every situation. And in this case, it is just as well that she has gone because Aleeza is going to turn 3 in February and she needs to learn to be independant.
For me it is good to bond with her without the nanny's slightly over bearing personality. The flip side is that it has made me flipping busy. I don't seem to get enough time to make cards, blog or just kick off my shoes and have some fun and that makes me a bit sad.
Never mind, I must try and be a good mother - they grow up so fast as everyone says... I should be grateful for such luxuries that Indonesia provides.
Okay, enough waffling there - it is 11.33 pm as I write this post. I have used this stamp from Inkadinkado while the metallic tissue paper is from Paperchase. The gems are from Paper Mania (I think) while the ribbon is from my stash.
Am going to enter this card for the following challenges:
www.cutedaisymay.blogspot.com/ - ribbons and bows
www.aspoonfullofsugarchallenge.blogspot.com/ - Christmas
www.keepitcas.blogspot.com/ - deck the halls

Hello Monica.
Love the way you have used the metalic tissue paper behind baubles , it really highlights them .
The group of baubles is a nice stamp for Christmas Cards must look for it .
Good luck with challenges .
PS.... meant to say thank you for the award . I am going to hang on to it for a while because I have had quite a few new viewers on board and I would like to check out their blogs and see if I can share it with them as token of encouragement . I have, however ,placed it in my side bar with a thank you to you . And I do thank you for thinking of me .
Hi Monica, things will settle down once you get your own routine in place so hang in there. I have been behind in my visits too, sometimes life just gets in the way. I love this card, I never thought to use metallic tissue paper, it is beautiful, very clever! ~Diane

Very fun! I love the silver ornaments on the black background. the metallic tissue paper is a wonderful accent! Thanks for playing with The Paper Players! :)
How did I miss this!!!!! Sometimes I don't know if my "google reader" is reading or not!
This is sensational! So very pretty Monice..and I love that tissue paper too.
Sorry about the nanny up and leaving - but all things happen for a reason I guess. Enjoy all the time you can with the little ones because, like you said, they grow so fast. Treasure each moment you have with them.
