I finally got around to do some Christmas cards after weeks of sewing. Sometimes, I don't know what to get my sisters or friends for Christmas. So, I decide to give them gift card and a  handmade card by me.   And all the papers, I used is from my scraps basket.  I had used  this same paper on a layout that, I put together last Christmas.  And the Elf stickers is from Micheals.  And Stampin Up new Gumball Green. Love how it turn out and the special part is you can put a gift card behind the Elf Crossing. So you can still write your special message to whom your sending it to.

Wishing Happy Holiday to you and your families.

My Father-n-law, Husband, and 3 Handsome boys.
The sentiment is very fitting for them.

To share this card is a really special moment with all of you. Because I never have met my real dad. That is why, I had to share our photo for Father Day & card with all of you.  It was alot of work but it is always worth for me.  
                                     
    Stamp is called Wonderful Friends.
The paper is from Recollection Stacks  called Love Letters.
The main paper is Stampin Up Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler is use for the hearts.
