Twas the Night Before Christmas

Hello all, Tamara here.  How has your weekend been? I've had another quiet one which is nice as I'm so busy during the week.  Here I have a lovely little Christmas card to show you using the fabulous 

dies from Cheery Lynn and one of the new stamps from Magnolia (I just had to buy this cute little Tilda and Reindeer, How cute are they!!)
