Oh Come Let Us Adore Him...

Here is a simple Christmas card I made.  I love the image and the sentiment.  I think I will be making these for the neighbors and the families my family visit each month.  It will be easy to duplicate in volume.


I made the bow with Wrinkled Vintage Hand-Dyed ribbon that I bought at My Craft Spot by Kimberly.  I used my Bow Easy and made a double bow.  This is my favorite color, it's SO gorgeous!!!  It's called Harvest Wine.  Thanks Kimberly!  :)
