Two cards - many challenges....


Oh my, you know what tomorrow is? Christmas Eve and I am so excited for our trip to San Francisco and donating a bag of toys this year at Lefty O'Douls. I am hoping they have snow again this year, always a fun treat downtown.
I have 2 cards to share and they are for a few challenges and 1 of them are new to me and could not resist playing along and getting a few more Christmas cards made too. My first card is for Curtain Call - Candy Cane and Colour Me #51 - Merry.




My second card is for Time Out and Craft Stamper. I am using some NBUS, this fabulous Christmas tree stamp is just amazing and thanks to Joyce for twisting my arm to order it and I love it embossed in white, so pretty. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by...enjoy your week and Merry Christmas!

  11. These are both wonderful. I love your cozy hot cocoa with peppermint sticks--making me hungry right this minute. And, that last card is just stunning. See, I try to get you to buy stamps I have so I could then CASE whatever you make. Pretty diabolical, right? Merry Merry, my friend.

  20. Finally a chance to get back on the computer in between swimming with the kids and eating mountains of chocolate!!! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and it didn't get too cold. Both of these cards are fabulous as usual. I really like how you die cut the mug in kraft cs, makes it look so real. And the tree stamp embossed in white on black is stunning and elegant. Always so happy when you can join us at TIME OUT too!! By the way, my idea for the chipboard jar project was a disaster for Christmas BUT....its Mum's birthday on the 17th Jan and have a new idea to try, so will send you some photos when its finished. And I hope you have a happy and healthy 2015!!!!!
