I noticed that several times over the last few days when things were so hectic around here - kids running every which way, wrapping paper flying every direction, and me trying to get everyone fed and smiling a lot......I was busy designing cards in my mind! Pretty scary to think that I love this craft that much!
Simple card but a good way to say "thank you" to someone for that special Christmas gift. I used some SU DP scraps, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, and a sentiment from SU Watercolor Trio.
I'm really playing "catch up" around here after being away from the computer for so long. I'll be by to visit everyone soon though!
Thanks for stopping by.............

Very nice card. Very cheery and the perfect papers for a Christmas thank you card. Love the different fonts on the sentiment. Glad you survived the holidays. Isn't it funny how and when our thoughts turn to card making? My problem is trying to remember those thoughts and creations when I do get back into the craft room. LOL. I wish you a very happy New Year, Lynn.
Hugs,

Beautiful card,love the design...fab colours.xxx
What a wonderful idea and design on this card! Mind if I use it as well? LOL about designing cards in your mind. Great technique for coping with stress! I'll be trying that also! Here's to getting the house back to yourselves - we're doing that too!
Hugs!
Very creative Lynn... the pic makes the squares look like little bits of fabric and I think this is a very clever design.
Gorgeous card Lynn, I like the design, the colours and the butterfly.
All the best for 2013.

So glad you survived the holiday and no I'm not surprised by your thinking! Love you card, great mix and match of colors. Hope you have a wonderful and healthy happy new year!
Me too I think about it all the time ;) And yep, remembering it when you can do something about it is the hard part! It's like waking up from a dream and thinking 'dang, there was SOMETHING important I had to do, wasn't there?'
I love the layout - this would make such a fabulous sketch!!
Love the dp inchies, Lynn. Perfect idea to add the butterfly! Once I get home, I'm going to have several Thank You cards to do and CAS is clearly going to be needed. :-D Happy New Year.
Gorgeous CAS card Lynn! I love the design and your perfectly matched papers!! Happy New Year!
Hugs, Tammy

Lynn, what a perfect Christmas Thank you! Isn't it funny how our minds wonder to what we love? Great job!
What a creative card and a great way to use up scraps of DP!
Perfect! The squares remind me of the pile of gifts that graced the Christmas tree and the design paper is so gift-wrappy! Great card!
I received so many card making items for Christmas that I was almost wishing everyone would hurry up and go home so I could go play with my new 'toys'!
Happy New year Lynn!
Lynn this is absolutely fabulous!! Love the design and the way you have used scraps so efficiently.
Blessings

I love this! What a wonderful way to use up those snippety scraps! Glad you had a good time with your company and managed to keep your sanity. I know what you mean about thinking of card designs. It's my way of keeping sane!
I just love this simple design! It reminds me of fabric swatches with the scalloped edges! I love the sentiment too!
Welcome back, and have yourself a great new year too!
Lovely & imaginative card using up your snippets (as the Brits call it). Your recipient is going to appreciate this beautiful card so very much. I think this hobby is called 'addition', and you are not alone. I often fall asleep thinking of a way to use an image I've colored. Happy New Year, and i'm glad you survived! Looking forward to seeing your wonderful cards in 2013. Hugs
