MFP August Blog Hop (Day 2) - Joyous Season

August Blog Hop! 

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are
 Featured Aug 13th - Pocket Watches
Featured TODAY - Aug 14th - Joyous Season
This one uses the sentiment and the pine branch from the set for a very simple Christmas card

For this card I stamped the fawn twice and off set them to remove the cardinal as that is not a bird we get in the UK and it therefore has no association with Christmas here.  Young deer often seem to huddle together so I think this works well.

Featured Aug 15th - Country Charm 
Featured Aug 16th - Wealthy Fish
