Christmas Card for our Pastor


Good Sunday morning to all my friends all over the world!

We have a great bond with our church Pastor,

as we had private premarital counseling  before our wedding

and had the opportunity to develop a

personal realtionship with Pastor Michael.

He is exactly our age and full of humor!!!

He treats everyone in the congregation as if they are his very best friend

and we genuinely love him and our church family.

During our premarital counseling sessions,

we learned he loves Chipotle

 (a build your own buritto restraunt)...

We have him a gift card at the end of our counseling time

and this Christmas I have made an easel card

designed with a compartment for his

Christmas Chipotle gift card!

I have used 4 Magnolia Christmas stamps
2 Magnolia Dies
The Paper Studio DP's
WOC Flowers
Inkadinkado Rubber sentiment stamp
Bows and star buttons from my stash
Chipotle gift card from "Chipotle" :)

This is Pastor Michael
