ColourQ #217, Curtain Call - Christmas Countdown and SSS - Anything Goes


Happy Monday...wow, it is December 2nd already, this year has literally flown by! So much to do and so little time to do it all in. I have 2 cards to share for 3 challenges. My first card is for this week's ColourQ and SSS, love this combination of colors, they remind me of autumn.  I pulled out a bunch of NBUS to make this card, Into the Woods stamps from Lawn Fawn and Tipped Topped die from PTI.  Both were fun to play with and I love the look of the wonky rectangle, it seems to add a bit of whimsy to the card.

My second card is for the current challenge over at Curtain Call, I have only played along once before and love the theme of this one - count down to Christmas. So fun! Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my cards...wishing you a wonderful day!
