My card this week features a wonderful image from StampFairy. George the snowman is an old favorite of mine and I have coloured him to go with these great MME papers that I picked up just the other week, the little trees in the background were a perfect complement to the image. I have used my Frostyville border punch which is a recent purchase after loving how it looked on so many of your cards and it is sure to be a well loved and used die. Love how it has added the look of snow along the bottom of the card.
 
Thanks for stopping by. I will look forward to seeing all of your wonderful cards as I catch up this weekend.

I am all about saving time right now as I am knitting like crazy to finish off all of the Christmas presents that I have on the go while still trying to take the time to train our new pup so for my card I have used an image from Saturated Canary that I had previously coloured and accented with lots of stickles.  
 
I have used my favorite Spellbinders circles which seem to appear on almost every card it seems and I have also added what is sure to become a new favorite, my new Magnolia doohickey poinsettia.
The layout for this card was based off a wonderful sketch from this week's Sketch and Stash challenge which made it super simple to put together a great card in a flash.
 
Here is a close up of the image for anyone that wants a better look.
 
 
Thanks so much for stopping by, be sure to check out the wonderful creations from the rest of the DT over on the ABC Christmas Challenge Blog.

Christmas Prayers

Good Evening, I have been missing in action lately while I get ready for Christmas and play with my new pup but I am back today with a card for the Charisma Cardz Challenge, the theme this time is Christmas which is a nice easy one as I think that most of us are in that mode at the moment.
 
 
While cleaning up my craft desk the other week I put together the base of this card using an older sketch. Then I dug around is some of my older stamps that I had not used in a while and came up with this angel from Whiff of Joy which I could colour to be a perfect match to my card. The other night I was able to put it all together and as I knew that I wanted to play up the feminine aspect of the image I have layered in lots of Wild Orchid flowers to create a little Christmas arrangement.
 
I hope that you will join us this week. I am looking forward to seeing all of your seasonal creations. In  case you need more incentive we have two wonderful sponsors who are generously offering up some fantastic prizes to two of our luck participants.
