So here's my card. I'll be honest - I'm a little disappointed. It didn't turn out the way I saw it in my mind. I used the Christmas solutions (the one downloaded to the Gypsy). I tried it with the part on the inside of the sign and didn't like it (again - not quite what I though). I added a bit of bling to liven it up. I'm so sorry it's not the best card I've ever made; I actually have a cute one tomorrow.
I know it's not much to offer for candy, but I thought it might be nice for someone to have (even if you re-gift it . . . I won't tell). :)
All you need to do is leave a comment letting me know what your favorite part is of Christmas. Mine is the tree. :) We go up the mountains to go get a real tree. We enjoy doing it as a family (I think my kids just like playing in the snow)!! You do NOT have to become a follower! I'd love to have you as a

Hi Celeste, it's so wonderful to be hoppin' with you! I love your work :0) I love to sing the HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS after 12am on the 25th (I also bake something to go with the song) lol. I hope u have a blessed day!
Hugs, Carol L.
My favorite part about Christmas is looking at various houses and how they are decorated
You know sometimes simple really makes a statement and your card is very nice! Also, your 'candy' is nice and would be a treat to win.
oops..forgot to say what I think is best part of Christmas. My kids are all grown and we get together at Thanksgiving and they to the other parents @ Christmas. I love the decorations the stores put up, parties we dress up for and the festivities that go along w/Christmas, but my favorite part is remembering WHY we have Christmas. Just to sit outside on a cold night and look at the stars and be thankful Christ became a babe and Redeemer for me.
Great card, Celeste! Love the added bling! I'm having fun being in this hop with you. My favotite part of Christmas is just seeing the look of excitement on my kids faces. I just want to bottle it!
There is not a thing wrong with this card..it is adorable! TFS. Funny how we as the creator see our work one way and the audience sees it another. I think we are our own worst critic! My favorite part of the holidays is also the tree. When my kids were at home we always chose and cut our tree.Now my favorite thing is lovingly putting every ornament in it's place on my tree. I know who bought it, or where and when I bought it and events that relate to it, It is a yearly walk down memory lane. This year I have 2 full sized trees!! Woowoo!! Merry Christmas!

I think your card turned out perfect... My favorite part of Christmas is getting in the van and riding around town to see all the beautiful lights...
Your card is very nice -thanks millierose651@aol.com
I like your card and simple can be quite stunning. My fav part has got to be hmmm.. ok so I love it all. Decorating the tree with the kids, on christmas eve taking a drive to look at lights then coming home and having the kids open their new pjs then I make some cocoa while they change then we read "twas the night before christmas" before putting them to bed. Watching them open their prezzies christmas morning. Guess my true fav would really be happy children. :)

I really like your card. One of my favorite parts about Christmas is driving around and looking at Christmas lights. It is so beautiful!
I agree with your other commenters ~ I like the card too! My favorite part of Christmas is spending time with the family (followedcloselyby cookies.)!
I like the card, totally original. my favorite part of Christmas, is seeing the children stand in front of our house ooooh & awwwing over my husbands Christmas light show. I love seeing the love of christmas in their eyes and on their faces.
This is the only time of year my whole family can get together. We sit around for a few days and just catch up on our lives. It is great!
Great project TFS!

Your card is great! We all have cards that don't turn out the way they look in our head so don't be too hard on yourself!! The best part about crafting is the beauty is in the eye of the beholder so even if you don't love it...someone else will :)

Do not be hard on yourself. I think the card came out great. I know I am always hard on myself. I like the card and I do like the colors.
I think your blog candy is great. I don't come on here or on hops to get prizes (prizes are great), but I come to get ideas and in turn I find blogs I probably would not have even see if not for hops.

I love staying Christmas Eve at my mom's with the whole family. While the little one's are sleeping, us adults stay up late playing games and reminising about the old days. Been doing this since I got married (14 yrs.) and now my brothers and their families are suckered into our family tradition. I guess I really just love making our own traditions. LOL
Hi Celeste!! :)
I think your card is a cute non-traditional card... that alone makes it wonderful, but the fact you made it is even better!! :)
My fav part of Christmas is reading the Nativity story to my boys and putting up our mural of the nativity. I'm really showcasing Jesus the last couple of years and downplaying Santa in my holiday decor. My kids are really benefiting from it too!
Thanks for the hop,
Cheryl @ CardsbyCG.blogspot.com
I have been a follower for some time now!! I have to say that my favorite part of christmas is the opening of the presents and seeing the surprise on the little faces!!
