First, a card made with a new Waltzingmouse Stamps set -- Ovals Classic Frames.
Love that leaf!!
A little tight for time, so just a mention that I used A Muse Studio ink and paper flowers (colored with Copics).
Second,
I'm searching for your best Christmas craft links -- decorations, table tops, gift ideas. Would love if you linked your best ideas (from your blog or gallery or others). Prefer ones with instructions but will look at all. Thanks!

Shut up!!! Totally gorgeous, Joan!

What a lovely card! So fresh and pretty. Christmas! I find it hard to think of Chrismtas in July, and don't have any good tuts on my own blog. One of my favourite things, though, is the paper bow tutorial on splitcoast. Looks just like a gift wrap ribbon bow, but made of double-sided designer paper. A knockout with kraft wrapping paper and twine or silver paper, or whatever. Also Mirkwood Designs has a ton of templates for interesting boxes.

Fab card, Joan. Love the use of the black on the oval over the leaves. No ideas for Christmas, but am starting to contemplate them myself.

love, love, love that you stamped the oval right over the leaf (or vice versa)... it's unexpected and refreshing!

Love this pretty card. Wish I had some links to Christmas ideas, but I usually depend on magazines or books that I have purchased over the years. I like to browse them while watching TV.

Pretty colours.
I don't have any links either, which made me sad. I typed in Christmas into Pinterest and then got overwhelmed and a little panicky. I do usually get inspiration for Christmas cards from blogs. Sorry not to be of more help.
