Hello Crafty Friends,

I made these three cards for a magazine, but sadly the magazine is having some sort of difficulty and will not be published.  I thought I would pop these on my blog before Christmas to share.  They are made with the gorgeous Kaisercraft Christmas Jewel Collection.  I love the purple shades in this collection.
