Bells and Pinecones

This feels like the weekend because my hubby started vacation today and will be off through the New Year. We plan an out of town day trip soon and look forward to enjoying each other's company for a while.

My card was made for yesterday's Splitcoaststampers CAS challenge #303. The challenge was Holiday Sparkle. That is why I used the sequins.  It should have been very quick but after several stamping mishaps, it took forever. Can you believe it? Sometimes, nothing goes as should in the craft room. -:)

I didn't have a die for the bells and had to fussy cut them. I colored with Copics. The sentiment and some red sequins were added and that was it...another card ready for mailing.

My card also fit the Fan Club Christmas Challenge/SCSCCNOV14. It was an inspiration piece. You are to be inspired by a wreath, brown and white, or pinecones.

Snowmen at the Fence

I'm so excited to get this stamp and use it. I saw it used last year on Splitcoaststampers by a wonderful stamper and knew I had to have it for this year. I LOVE a snowman. How many times have I said that?? :-) It is from The Peddler's Pack Stampworks/Fenced in Snowmen. I've made a CAS card which made it sooooooo easy to get another Christmas card added to the stack.

My card is being entered into the Merry Monday Christmas Card Club--challenge #74.

My woodgrain is the fence which I colored green while giving it a worn look. One of the snowmen is wearing a mitten which I colored with a neutral color, as  I also did the lights.

Weekly Christmas Card Challenges #41 wants to see snowmen this week. I can accommodate.
