It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas

I'm not a big fan of making small cards only because I don't think there is enough space to decorate *LOL* I cheated and made these 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches instead of the standard 3 X 3, which of course means I need to make custom envelopes or tuck them in as gift cards. I used both stamp sets Just Skating By and It's a Snow Day from i {heart} papers. I used my new Basic Grey pad called Eskimo Kisses again but added a Candy Cane ribbon.




Stamps: IHP - Just Skating By and It's a Snow Day
Paper: Garden Green, Real Red, White, Basic Grey - Eskimo Kisses
Accessories: Copics, Dimensionals, Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, 3/8 inch Grosgrain Diagonal Stripes Red/White Ribbon (Candy Cane)

Snow Scene

Here's the card I mentioned last week. I decided to combine some of the stamps in the Just Skating By and It's a Snow Day sets released this month from i {heart} papers. This card may look like it has a lot of things going on but really came together pretty quickly. I used my new Basic Grey pad called Eskimo Kisses and the Labels one Nestabilities that I just love. I have lots of other Nesties on my wish list and hope to add them to my collection soon. I have to say that it was a fun little scene to create.

I love you Beary much

Although its not my week to participate in the Squigglefly challenge I thought I'd share a Squigglefly card anyway. I couldn't remember what the challenge was this week when I made this so I just found a cute image and went with it. For those of you who do want to join in on the Squigglefly challenge today the challenge is to make a gate-fold card. Just head on over to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog to see what Kim's group came up with this week. Before I forget I thought I'd mention that my dh made me a light box yesterday. I went to an all day card making class and while I was gone he was taking care of the girls and shopping at Joann's for materials. What a sweetie. So how do you think he did?

Fall Harvest

Here's a fun fall card that I made with one of my October releases from KLM Digital Designs. I thought I should post the fall cards I made before our first snow -which won't be for a long time I hope. The designer paper is from Pink Paislee. It had 12 fall themed squares on it and I'm still using the bits and pieces of it. This adorable image is called Apple Picking Adam. That Burgundy Ribbon is from i {heart} papers. I just love it. I sure wish I would have ordered more of it.
