Still loving my Christmas Cards!

I am determined to get ahead with Christmas cards this year, so I went along to Artfull Crafts when they had their Christmas crafts sale. I have lots of lovely Christmassy papers and stamps - and I'm all set up now to do the ABC Christmas challenges all year. Well, that's my intention, anyway!



I had fun last night with two sketch challenges. This is the first one, for the Mojo Monday sketch. I'm particularly proud of it, because I used a stamp I designed and had made for myself. I used flourishes from the Kaisercraft Dear Santa collection to add a bit of fanciness. The cardstock and ink are Stampin Up's Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze. The DSP is from their Urban Garden pack, sadly now retired.




The second sketch is from the Stamping 411 site. I used the Dear Santa papers and mini ink pads. The Christmas tree stamp is an Inkadinkado one I have had for a while - I like the ornate style very much.
