Fall & Christmas Cards

For two weeks I've been fighting one of the 832 viruses making the rounds of the Midwest in the USoA. But... since I didn't want to share the germs I decided to stay home and rest. Oh, and cruise the web and stamp. (You can sneeze and blow your honker while doing both and not offend anyone!) In the process, I stumbled upon a few new stamping blogs. One of them offers a challenge called "Snippets." The name made me smile because when I was growing up my mom teased me about the many hours I spent with scissors, making "snipples." (I still like to do that… but now it's called fussy cutting!)  Decided to make a CAS card to enter into the Snippets challenge, plus AAA Card Challenge and a few others.

A few months ago I won a few images from Di's Digital Stamps. This sweet one named Penny's Star was fun to use for a two Christmas challenges this week, plus Di's Digital Add a Sentiment Challenge.

Love this sweet little trio of fall stamps that were the recent Bugaboo Free Friday images. Created a card using the CAS-ual Friday Sketch and the WeCraftCards Joy Fold to make this fun card.

My third and final entry into the current challenge at Victorine Stamps features a wonderful harvest image from createwithtlc.blogspot.com.  Was fun to use a metal charm that I've had in my stash for nearly a decade. (It's amazing what a person can find when organizing a craft room!) I also provided a close up to show the beautiful details in this image. It is truly lovely!
