Decisions Decisions.... (Day 12)

Hi Everyone!

So, I have arrived at a crossroads of sorts as it relates to sharing my 25 Days of Christmas cards with you. All of the cards are completed and have been for some time now. A few still need to be photographed, however, I have found however, that I am running a bit short on time in a day as I prepare for the holidays and continue with the day to day events of home and family. As you've noticed, this is the pivotal Day 12. The question becomes, do I stop now or do I continue?
I hope that I do not disappoint any of you with my decision to stop at 12 instead of continuing on to Day 25. I am, however already thinking of ways to share the remaining 13 cards with all of you at a later date.
Also, this will be my last post until after the New Year. I hope you all have a very happy and safe holiday season. Best wishes to you all!

25 Days of Christmas (Day 11)

Hi Everyone!
Super quick post this morning because I have tons of stuff I want to try to get done before Jonathan comes home from school. This is my card for Day 11. It was inspired by Kristina Werner's Day 11 video. Again, I used papers from American Crafts Merry Mint collection. I am determined to use all of it this year, so I can buy new stuff next year! LOL!!
Have a great day. Stay warm if you are someplace where it's cold!

25 Days of Christmas (Day 10)

Good Morning Everyone!

So, here we are at Day 10. I hope you are enjoying the cards I have been sharing with you and aren't tired of them yet! I have a bit of a confession about today's card, however. I actually made this one last year and for some reason didn't mail it out. If you remember this card from last year on my blog, then I guess I should thank you for paying such close attention! Although that's a bit scary as well!!
Anyhow, it was a simple card, using mostly pattern papers from American Crafts "Merry Mint" collection. I paired the two coordinating patterns with Tempting Turquoise, Ruby Red and Chocolate Chip. The sentiment in the center is from an old SU set "Frosty" and was stamped with Ruby Red ink.
Have a great day everyone! I'm off to see what great inspiration there is out there in blog land!

25 Days of Christmas (Day 9)

Good Monday Morning All!

Oh my, what a morning! I swear I felt as though I had just gotten to sleep and then it was time to get up. Of course, that was not helped by the fact that my hubby was up at 3 AM because he had to get on a plane at 5:30am this morning! Anyhow, I know that I will either be napping at some point today or will be in bed very early tonight.
So, here we are on Day 9 of my 25 Days of Christmas cards. This card was inspired by KWerner's Day 9 video as well. I started with a charcoal base and added layers from American Crafts "Merry Mint" collection. I punched out 1 inch circles from Scarlet Jewel card stock and adhered then to another piece of Scarlet Jewel paper. The glitter letters are from Me and My Big Idea "Ellen Jewel Alphabet" The "O" is a cookie shape cut out from some paper from the same Merry Mint collection. I added the white faux stitching line around the edge and then added the gold and silver stickles spots to finish the card.
Have a great day everyone!
