Last minute Christmas cards

I started on my Christmas cards during the first week of November.  I colored the images, bought the paper, started planning a layout.  Yep, this year I was going to finish my cards early...

Or maybe the supplies would just sit for seven weeks and I'd finally make the cards this morning.

I love this cute little "candy elf" from Make it Crafty.  She's colored with my Spectrum Noirs.

I was playing with stamps from The Alley Way.  I just love the quirky fun designs.  Hopefully, Santa brings me some more sets to play with on Christmas.

Happy Monday.  One more week of school until winter break, and this teacher is counting down the hours.  I don't know if your kids get better behaved in December because Santa's watching, but I do know that 8th graders get a whole lot worse when a break approaches.  I've definitely needed craft therapy.

This week's theme at Craft Your Passion is

Christmas ABC (Anything But a Card)

I played double duty this week.  First up is a wreath for my new house's door!

Rustic and simple-like me.

I've been dying to color, but I have so many finished images to put on cards, that I feel guilty pulling out my markers.  But then I thought of gift tags and so I used some super cute elves from Melonheadz to make some quirky tags.  (I made 20 of them.  They are all different-but follow the same sketch.  And yes, I ran out.  Apparently I need to tone down the gift buying.) 

Can't wait to see you practicing your ABC's at Craft Your Passion this week!

Christmas time!

I love this time of year!  The lights, the decor, the smells, the bunnies... bunnies?  Okay, so the image I used on this card is an Easter one, but for some strange reason, I always associate it with Christmas.  That gal just looks so festive in her red and green.

My hubby and I got some great gift cards for my mother-in-law, so this card is actually a gift card holder on the inside.  Happy holidays!

I'm sorry that I haven't posted.  The holidays are so busy.  I've been crafting though.  Just not posting.  But I'm back, and just in time.  It's a new challenge at Craft Your Passion this week.  This week's theme is

Snow

Brrr... Just thinking about it makes me cold.  (Well that and the fact that it's only 3 degrees in chilly Utah)

Here's a card featuring a fun image by Robin's Fetish.

Supplies:  Robin's Fetish, Spectrum Noir markers, DCWV, Stampin Up

Enjoy the winter wonderland and make some snow cards this week!
