It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas...

Good morning bloggers!

Ahhh...don't you just love that crisp air? It's so awesome to feel the cold (and run back inside and get warm again) knowing that somewhere it is snowing. Which usually means Santa is getting ready for that wonderful trip...

I have finally finished making Christmas cards to send to friends and family. I used the images from Tellen's Place Designs drawn by my so, Markus, who is coming to visit for the holidays; how fun! This is a fun Diva to ink up. I added fluffy snow (sent to me by my friend, Lyn) and stickles on her thigh-high boots - oh yeah baby - she's really helping Santa! It worked out swell with Santa on the paper - just added a sentiment and it's "ret-ta- go!"

Here are the challenges I'm entering this card in:

**Crafty Catz Weekly** - #60 Christmas
**Creative Inspiration Challenge** - Anything Christmassy/Winter
**Creative Inspirations** - #88 Red, Green & Gold
**Creative Cowgirls Challenge** - Anything Goes
**Sketchy Colors** - Red and White
**The Crafty Pad** - Red and Green

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Crafting! :-)

Fa La La La La La La La La

It's challenge time and there's snow all over the place people! I have been having so much fun making these cards, though today was a bit harried because I forgot to make my card for my challenge blog (Tellen's Place) and then to vote on the winner and yadda, yadda, yadda... But, I have two cards to enter into challenges.

The first card is with images from Heather's Coffee Break - yeah, I'm a fan. :) Look at these snowmen playing...I mean, it's too cute! I added that liquid stuff so it looks like they really are on snow; added some plastic snowflakes just because the rest of the card was empty. Don't you love that sentiment ticket? I got it at Allissa's Paper Town - she has new ones and let me tell you - you will get hooked like me. Go check it out! I was like - oh so cool because the challenge at the Cupcake Challenge is for red and green - I printed the ticket in red and found this one that said "Snowmen Playing." How cool is that?

Here's the inside of the card. The paper was like that -- isn't that just too cute?

This next card is of Edward (Tellen's Place) - he is really so cute; all surly...little blop of snow on top of his head, like he fell in it. I really would love to have snow around me during Christmas. So for now, I can pretend.

This card is for:

Papertake Weekly - sketch #29
A Spoon Full of Sugar - non-traditional colors - Christmas card
Design Dollies - snowflakes

Take a walk through these blogs because you will find great cards there. The Design Dollies are real dolls and just inspired me with their lovely cards. They have such warmth over there you won't want to leave it. Go on - go check 'em out! :) Papertake Weekly have oodles of talent that just makes you swoon for paper crafts! A Spoon Full of Sugar is so sweet - take a look-see! ;p
