Dragonfly Journeys Challenge #82

Dragonfly Journeys Challenge #82 is The Year of the Rooster.  I did not even realize that I had a  Close to My Heart Rooster stamp.  It is an older stamp that I have never used!  I made a very simple Birthday Card with a small bow made from twine.  Stamped in Black on Kraft Cardstock.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #191

Welcome to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #191.  I am on the Design Team for Atlantic Hearts And each week they have a new Sketch to help you create a card or layout.  I usually make cards and this week I have made yet another Christmas Card using Close to my Heart Snowhaven papers (retired) a current PML card and cranberry & Glacier cardstock.

More Christmas Cards

I finally had time this weekend to finish my Christmas Cards.  This is the latest I have ever mailed out my cards!  I have been dividing up my time between Crocheting and Card making this year.

Here are some of my cards I worked on this weekend:

PML Christmas Cards

I made quite a few of my Christmas Cards this year with Close to My Hearts Picture My Life Cards.  It makes card making so quick and easy.  You can add your own stamps and embellishments to the cards or use them just as they are.  Here are some of them that I made:

    

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #189

Another Atlantic Hearts Sketch to help me with my Christmas Cards... This week I used the Close to My Heart "Oh Deer" Paper Pack with Stamp Set #C1656 Joy to You and Me and D1694 Very Merry Holiday.  The card sparkles from the Gold Shimmer Trim and the Heat Embossing which is also Gold.  A little bit of Gold Stickles and a couple of "Oh Deer" Complements to finish it off.

Christmas Critters

My daughter has this thing for penguins, so every year I make her a Christmas Card with penguins on it.  This is a shaker card made mostly with Close to My Heart products.  I used a retired stamp set (B1483) Seasons Greetings, City Sidewalks Paper and CTMH Ribbon.  The Crystal Snow is the only non CTMH product.

I am entering this card in Dragonfly Journeys Challenge #80.
