Merry and Bright

My Dad has been helping me to do remodeling on my house which is wonderful.  Except....for I do have a mess in my craft area which my Dad has felt the need to clean and try to help organize.  That would be wonderful if my Father was a crafter; however, he is NOT.  So, I have no idea where my heat gun and neither does he. So for the Labor Day weekend when there was a discount coupon, I bought a new one. Still love my Dad :)  So with new embossing gun in hand, I made this CAS Christmas card.
