Joyful, Joyful

I had a very busy weekend of shopping and cooking and gift making....so much to do this time of year!

I am really trying to remind myself to breath and to remember the reason for the season. 

The Stampendous team are sharing their cards that are inspired by the season.

This is my card using Shepherd Watch from Stampendous.

The sentiment is from the Joyful Phrases perfectly clear set.
