Merry snow girl - CCC #18

Happy Sunday to  you!  It's time for Christmas Card Challenges #18!  It is less than 5 months until Christmas!! :) 

Here's my card...

This was fun to make.  I really am a very traditional red/green for Christmas kind of girl, but I also like to change it up once in awhile.  I had this image colored and waiting to be used for awhile and found a piece of paper to match, and the rest was easy.

Supplies...
FTHS Snow Girl
Spectrum Noir makers
Recollections O Christmas Tree DP
Raisin Boat Merry Nature sentiment
Darice Large Snowflake die
Slice Shimmer Pearl Vine

This week's optional challenge inspiration is "snowman."

Challenges...

Fall birthday wishes

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who have been and will be affected by Hermine!   ♥

I've got a fall birthday card to show you today.  I love this fun owl!  I had planned to give him some googly eyes, but the eyes I have were either too small or too large.  Time to go shopping!!!  ;)

Isn't he cute?  This is one of the Birthday Fall Critters from Doodle Pantry.  My digi paper is from the same set.  My image and sentiment are cut out using Spellbinders Petite Ovals.  The leaves are Spellbinders Orchard Harvest Tags and Accents.   American Crafts ribbon and twine are from my stash.

Today, Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the challenge over at Send A Smile 4 Kids!   It's a great challenge and you can find the info there if you are interested in donating cards to them.

My dad is a car guy so I love to make cards with the awesome car sets at Doodle Pantry!!  This one is Classic Corvette.  The image and sentiment are cut out with Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A and B.  My DP is American Crafts "DIY Shop."

All Is Calm - take 2

Last week, I shared this card using All Is Calm from Doodle Pantry.  Today I've got another one, but this one is a little more "fun."   [The wonderful thing about DP images is that you get the outline plus one or more colored options!]  I used a different colored image than last time and added brads on some of the ornaments for fun.
