happy holidays...thinking of you

I decided to jump on the band wagon and do one of the sketches over at jingle belles. Now that our snow is finally melting I can make a few Holiday cards without feeling like I am jinxing the weather here in Minnesota.


This card went together rather quickly since I keep all my Holiday papers and embellishments in two large plastic containers (one for papers and alphas and the other for embellishments).


I can't decide if I like my next card or not. I created it for this weeks sketch over at Clean and Simple Stamping.


I stamped the Hero Arts flower three times and then added stickles to give it a little bit of a pop on the card. papers are BasicGrey "hello luscious" and sentiment is PTI.

Here is the sketch that inspired my card.



So what are your plans for today? I don't have anything planned today so will just wait and see how the day progresses.

Enjoy!

    Well I didn't WANT to like the winter/holiday one Sherry, but I totally do. It is adorable and whimsical. And I LOVE the second one...using those BG papers always inspires me and that flower stamp is fabulous...is it a dandelion gone to seed?

    Both cards are really lovely! Great job on the Jingle Belles card and using that Eskimo Kisses perfectly. Your snowman is beyond adorable. :) Fabulous take on Allison's sketch.

    I have the BG Hello Luscious, too. I am almost afraid to start using it. Almost. ;) Very pretty CAS card!
