Late or Early?

Is this a very early start to next year's Christmas cards or a very a very late one?  Silly goose, it's early, I'm not sending out any more Christmas cards. 

This card was made for the My Favorite Things January Guest Designer contest "2011 It's a Banner Year!"  The banner is one of my favorite die-namics, especially since I've purchased three!  Crazy, nah, after you've cranked a few of these out you'll agree that having multiples is a pretty good idea (thank you Jody for the enabling).

One of my resolutions is to do the inside of my cards.  It's such a nice finishing touch and if you're a paper addict it'll help clean out some of your stash so you can make room for more new stuff.

Here's the deets"
