Christmas plus Critters

Another entry in Beccy's Place Fifth Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge for the letter "Q" features an SU stamp to make a "Quite Full Pocket." I made the pocket with denim background paper plus white gel pen. The little sentiment tag is from Lili of the Valley.

A simple yet beautiful card for a CAS challenge. I turned these wood mount stamp into unmounted ones several years ago so am not sure of the company that makes them. Am entering it into the AAA Cards challenge, "Celebrate", because the sentiment provides us with reason to celebrate! We celebrate Christmas because it is Jesus' birthday! Also, am entering it into CAS-ual Friday's Challenge, "Gratitude & Attitude." My life holds joy and meaning because I am loved by my God.  For this, I am truly grateful!

I am not usually a fan of mice… except when they are the adorable House Mouse crew involved in cute and sometimes naughty antics. This is probably how I'll look in a few days after I enjoy pumpkin pie… and other Thanksgiving goodies. Yummy! (The sentiment is from the TLC digi set named "Medley of Greetings 1" available from icraftgifts.com)

Another entry for Simon Says Monday Challenge is a free digi from sliekje.blogspot.com called "Cozy Winter Pups." Since dogs are my favorite furry friend, this card is perfect for the challenge! The sentiment is from Beccy's Place "Gnomes in the Garden" set.

  3. I really love the pocket with the gingerbread man and candy cane, you did such a great job with this card, Kathy. The denim pocket looks very convincing, especially with the "stitching". And your colouring is excellent.
    The second, CAS style card you created is lovely too. The big star is beautiful and I like the little bit of sparkle you added.
    The House Mouse image on your third card is adorable, and once again, your colouring is fabulous. I think lots of us can relate to feeling that way around holiday time.
    Your final card in this post is also very sweet, the image is so cute! I like how the scarf extends beyond the circle mat. Great job!
    Cheers,
    Beccy
