Christmas Card Club-- December

It was Meredith's turn to send out the kit & she sent some super cute images from The Cat's Pajamas.  I had a bit of a blonde moment when I made these... I made the 2nd card first.  I found that piece of dp in my scrap box & was determined to get a card made with it THAT day!   I colored in my image & laid it with the dp for a few days.  I pulled out another image from the kit & it hit me... all of the dp in the kit was bright colors, no red at all!!!!!  So, the first card uses items from the kit & the 2nd one, just the image!!!  I used some of the pink rhinestones that Meredith sent to bling up the presents on the first card.

Stamps: The Cat's Pajamas
C/s: Cocoa Brown, white, red
DP: Recollections & Retired dp from SU
Snowflakes Cuttlebug folder, stickles, copics, rhinestones

Now, hop over to see what the other gals came up with:
Kelli
Meredith-- our hostess
Lee
Lydia
Peggysue

I'll be back later to post my final card for the Dec. challenge.

Christmas Day, 2012

Happy Birthday, Jesus!!!!

Our Christmas didn't end up quite like we had planned.  We went to my parents house on Sunday & had planned to be with them until this afternoon.  We kept hearing the weather reports about the weather getting worse.  So, we headed home last night.    We woke up this morning & it didn't look too bad, but we heard about all kinds of accidents in the state, a lot of them in the path we drove home last night.  Then the snow started & the wind. We have snow & wind chills of -8*F!!!!!    We will just stay snuggled up at home & enjoy the warmth from inside the house!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas Gift Enclosure Cards CC#6

I made these CAS Christmas cards to include with the gifts for my niece & nephew.   I was going to use green for the c/s on the bottom one for my nephew, but colored it first & then tried to match c/s.  I didn't have a green that was that color of Christmas green.    Another one down for my Christmas card challenge!

21 Christmas Card #3

I haven't forgotten about this 21 card challenge, but I've been working on some other cards.  I was doing some re-arranging in my craft area & found this image & part of this card.  I mass produced a card a couple of years ago & for some reason I didn't use this one.  I decided to color the image & add stickles & then finish this card.

Stamps: Whipper Snapper
C/S: white, red
red brads, red plaid ribbon, stickles, copics
